Your team needs you dumb a z z

Can VT take it to the hoop or what! Making the Dukies look like us against St. Johns.

I know and we have to win there

 

[JeremyCuse]

Its gonna be a long year

The ACC is ridiculously good.

 

[GooseMutt]

Agreed. Was big East ever this deep. We were the best many years but this years ACC seems really goid

 

[jncuse]

I am surprised he was suspended for an actual game. I suspected it was indefinite because Coach ratface was going to use an out. I don't trust him one bit.

I was expecting more Coach K BS, something like -- "Grayson has spent significant time recently on an accelerated program to ensure his attitude was at the great standards that Duke demands of its players, coaches and students. Since our standards are so much higher than most institutions it was unfair to let Grayson miss any games based on the spirit he has demonstrated in improving himself since the last isolated incident".

 

[Cusefan0307]

Grayson wasn't playing that great to begin with this year. I think Kennard is Dukes best player.

 

[jncuse]

Georgia Tech (who is one of the few legit bad teams in the ACC) is up by 2 against UNC in the second half.

What a strange start to the ACC season.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Giles can't guard anyone. He's not ready to play ACC games.

There were years where Louisville, Uconn, Pitt, G Town, Marquette, Providence, West Virginia, Villanova, Cincinnati and Us were all top 30 so I'd say yes.

Surprised Grayson wasn't unsuspended at halftime, he did travel

I would bet anything it wasn't K's decision. Either the ACC told him, you take care of this or we will or the school president was basically the same. K would never have suspended him.

I will be shocked if we go .500 in ACC

You hit the nail on the head, Allen had a bad foot. My guess is when his foot is mostly healed that is when the "indefinite suspension" will end...i am so entirely sick of Ks holier than thou crap. Any guy who attempts to intimidate the refs the way he does should lose the right to the whole holier than tho routine. Isnt it amazing drama queen Allen (who was little used up til that point that season) got placed in that National Championship game against Wisc and then all of a sudden duke started getting all the calls and won the title? Good for K, well played!! But lose the holier than tho crap

And let's not forget when K was caught lying on what he said to that kid in the NCAA tournament.

Every one of VT's players plays with intensity. Wonder if that's Buzz' personality, or if he recruits with that in mind. The contrast is our team, where everyone just seems so laid back. Even our best player looks like he was just tickled awake by kittens' whiskers, even when he's killing on the court.

I like Buzz, notes and court limits be damned.

Duke is a weird team. A metric ****-ton of talent, but it sometimes looks like it's too much talent for K to deal with and develop properly. Even when they were winning this year, it seemed like their sum was less than the total of the pieces. Like us, but with much more talent to fall back on.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Some of these Duke freshman look incredibly overrated.

I like Buzz, but it helps he has his entire team back from last year. Allen, Bibbs and Leday are all upperclassman that have been playing together since Buzz got there.

The old cliche that i have heard this season- they havent got everybody on the court healthy together. If they do it will be interesting just how good they will be. I personally have no idea but i dont see a true center or point guard....

They dont look comparable to Okafor, Winslow and Jones but i guess i should reserve judgement till end of season. That Duke team struggled in Jan but then still won it all

I will be shocked if you're not shocked!

Or him not shaking many of our players hands at Cameron last season ....etc etc

Its amazing how much the coaches with all the titles like Knight, K , Calhoun have in common...

Hell, even Sophomore Chase Jeter is garbage. Wouldn't be shocked if he transfers out of there.
