Last night as I'm catching up on theses threads, my wife comes into my office.  I bring her up to speed with what's going on.  My wife's family are HUGE Duke fans.  Her dad, mom, sister, brother and cousins went there.  My wife did not but was still raised to be a big time Duke fan which she is.

After bringing her up to speed, she says "it kind of makes you proud of your program that they didn't get involved like some of the other schools".  She then followed that up by saying "Duke and Syracuse have both lost recruits right at the end, surely neither is guilty and coaches like Boeheim and K wouldn't engage in that stuff".

The fact that she was lumping Duke together with 'Cuse was nauseating. I explained that Duke is never hurting for talent.  For every 5 star talent we get, they get likely 10 at that level.  At any rate, the two programs are not in the same place, I tried to explain.  She didn't really understand so I decided to abort the conversation.  She still thinks I like Duke... lol, silly wifee.
