Hate about Duke:

- flopping players
- extremely generous treatment from the refs
- Cameron crazies with popped collars and scripted (and still lame) cheers
- ESPN's fixation with them
- CBS's fixation with them
- The pollsters fixation with them ex. loss that would drop us 7 spots will drop them 2 or 3
- selection committee giving them ideal locations and realitively easy roads to the sweet 16.

None of that is Syracuse fan specific though, and is widely shared sentiment. It's far from just this board. It's alot of the same reasons I dislike Kansas except with D Bag fans. Their fans just reek of having a sense of entitlement.

I do, however, respect Duke. I respect the winning tradition and can't really fault them for taking advantage of the breaks they are given. You can respect somebody and not have to like them.

As I get a bit older I appreciate Coach K a bit more. He's like JB in alot of ways, main one being it will be quite awhile until we someone accomplish close to what he has again. Also, after hearing him on numerous talk radio shows, he's extremely intelligent but also has a great sarcastic sense of humor that makes him hard for me to hate.

But yeah, I took great joy in them losing last night. So did the UConn, Pitt, and Maryland hoops fans that I share an office with though.
