Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 890449, member: 412"] Andy, how old are you. I don't despise anything about Duke. Several of my best friends are Duke fans; they are all good people. I admire Duke's academics. I love their campus. I respect what Coach K has done there, and I respect what he has done for US Olympic basketball. And I love him for being the first (and for a while the ONLY) national figure to speak out in JB's defense during the early days of the Bernie Fine mess. Sure, I want SU to beat Duke. I want SU to beat EVERYONE. But I don't "despise" them any more than I despise Eastern Michigan. And I don't despise Eastern Michigan at all. And, ps, Jay Bilas and Jim Boeheim are very close friends. He has frequently hosted the Boeheim Foundation's gala. As has Coach K, by the way. [/QUOTE]
