How can you generalize thousand of fans into one category? And didn't Duke fans throw condoms at Veal one year?
I’m not. I posted earlier: “Every fan base has a few people they’d rather not associate with because of how they act. Maryland just has the most and they do the worst.”

All of Wash DC IS on the Maryland side of the Potomac, surrounded by MD. It is in MD. Check a map. Not Maryland, just on our side, not the Virginny side. Is this Geography 101 for Duke fans?
Why does this fact bother you so? Do you live in a fact free zone of Foxlandia??
You'll be honest? Thanks for explaining your moronic attack on a post I did not make. So it is ok to take all the 5 star kids, like Zion, at the last second miraculously, because USC or Clemson have not had a player of note, lately??
You don't know me or have not come accross me?? Who cares - what r u talking about? Your logid re Zion is wrong, period.
What kind of logic is that? Guinea pig?? What r u talking about??
Duke is cheating at recruiting. Period. You know how I know - because they have 4 of the top 10 players in the country on their roster - every spring. Police call that evidence. Calipari wont beat me anymore. Mike is so frikkin competitive - he refuses to lose to another massive cheater. How do I know Cal cheats - he gets the other top 4 HS players every year. Every year.
If you cant beat them, join them, huh?? Your coach has no clothes on - I can say it because I am not brainwashed by K fever - I hope he retires before scandal destroys his legacy. He is a great coach - and I like him personally - yeah - I know that gets you fanboys.
He needs to stop the one and done crap. Cue the batteries, MD fans are the worst, we are meth head trash people comments - but by all means look the other way while college hoops gets top heavy and boring and ultimately - losing viewers.
At the bare minimum - he is a hypocrite. You say adjusting to the modern game - I say sell out to win - especially over the guy he hates in Lexington.
Please say I am an idiot, and that cannot EVER happen...hahahahahaha
Woody, Joe, and Mike's mentor Bobby say hi. Hero worship does not end well in coaches.
Do D.C. residents pay Maryland state taxes?
You are a bitter old man. Listen, D.C. is in Maryland like Rhode Island is in Connecticut. I love that you still bite at that one.
I'm not that old. DC is entirely in MD - I like it that you still cannot read a map.
Is it in virginia? Is it in Pennsylvania? It is on land Maryland ceded - surrounded in the cocoon of MD. DC is in Maryland. got it??
D.C. is not in any state. D.C. is just, D.C. It's not that difficult to comprehend. Baltimore is IN Maryland.
So no proof of anything wrong. Got it. With the results of MD athletics, they sure aren't doing it the right way.
As an MD fan, are you saying that if Zion and RJ and Cam told Turgeon in August that they wanted to come, he would say no.
Wanting to win or as you say, selling out. What is the job of the college hoops coach. Oh yeah, win.
Jesus, you are thick.
First off, it wasn't moronic. Second, it wasn't about you. Most importantly... it is NOT okay to take a recruit? Are you nuts? So now the really good recruiters have to recruit in a way that is okay for the crappier schools? And last minute? How was it last minute? Guys are either not committed, or committed. The Duke staff was on Zion for years. What about it was last minute... just your dumbass "fan" point of view, where you think it was something that happened instantly?
Oh man. You were throwing around some thing about you being in my head. I'm merely pointing out thats obviously dumb, and should have been to you, given that we've never really had any interaction.
How many players like Zion have USC or Clemson had? None. Ever. They have never had a top guy like that who is coming in with such hype. Would you want to literally be the first ever for a staff, crossing your fingers that they know what to do? No. You go to a place where they've years of experience with it. What, if you have to have a major surgery, you go to someone who has never done it before?
BTW, are you getting paid by the question mark?
Uh, you appear to have literally no idea what "evidence" means. Like... none.
Could it be, just maybe, that a guy who might be the best coach of all time, who has experience with the best players of all time, at one of the greatest programs of all time, with some of the best facilities in the country at any level, with nearly every game on national television, with massive connections in the League and the national programs and in commercial areas like shoe companies and the like, and who has multiple slots available with a TON of playing time, might be able to land the best players?
I think you are just so used to cheering for a loser that it doesn't occur to you that some teams are winners.
Uh, that's dumb. Fanboys? I'm a alumnus, dumbass. And yes, I am sure you hope he retires before scandal destroys his legacy. Legit! And no, you liking Coach K doesn't "get" me... I don't actually care.
Ahhh, of course! So K has landed a top recruit in every class in a number of classes. But... In 2014 Duke got three OADs instead of the usual one, two of whom weren't expected to be OAD. In 2016 Duke got three OADs instead of the usual one, one of whom was hurt all year and one of whom wasn't expected to be OAD. In 2017 Duke got four OADs instead of the usual one, including one who shouldn't have been. In 2018 Duke got three or four OADs who haven't even finished their first season.
And because of these extra OADs... which was expected to be roughly THREE more expected OADs TOTAL over the years... Coach K has made college basketball lose viewers. I mean, Duke's games always get the highest ratings, but K shouldn't have recruited those guys and should have let USC and Clemson get them, so he wouldn't ruin college basketball. Or something.
Hahahahahahah, right?!?! And yes, getting the best players available is selling out. He isn't adjusting.
WTF is hero worship? You think basketball coaches are heroes? Hey, maybe in your world...

To turn a proud academic institution into a paid shill for ESPN?
ESPN/K - offered from Dec 1 - April 4. You don't get the full ESPN package?
There is a good chance Mike is the best college coach of all time - it is subjective. I think he is top 4 for sure (Dean, Mike, Bobby, John Wooden).
Duke fans do not see or recognize the hypocrisy. I will never go for one and dones. I get the most OAD's. Potato, potato. Your idea that Clemson, or USC - would not know how to use Zion is foolish, and clear evidence of the hero worship in Dookies.
Only Mike and his greatness know how to "handle" a superstar. Hahahahahaha...
I'll forward this to Izzo, Bellein, Jay Wright, Chris Mack - don't bother going after one and dones - only Kryysomething knows how to "handle them".
College hoops is not ruined - but it will go that way when folks stop watching the Tourney. Just have a mini tourney with UK, KU, UNC, Duke - and a few select others. When Loyola or VCU makes the Final 4 - we can all pat ourselves on the back about how wonderful and fair college hoops is. Fact is most 1/2 seeds are the last 4 teams.
People are not dumb. Have your fun with killing me and MD as the messenger - fact is it isn't not fair. Sort of like watching Clemson and Bama every year for title in football. That sound you hear are people turning the channel.
Btw, Zion chose Duke. Duke didn’t draft him. Think of this. His game translates better to a team with multiple stars and scorers and not him being the sole focal point. Seems to be working for him huh?
That figures. ESPN/K - all Krybaby all the time. The 90 minute infomercial it plays about Duke hoops non stop?? The front of ESPN .com having 5 pics/stories every day:
How Zion dunks!
Is Zion better dunking left or right handed?
Who is the best draft pick - Cam, Zion, or RJ?
If Zion dunks on road, and Cameron Crazies dont cheer it - did it really happen?
Are you saying a media company focused on sports, heavily college hoops, shouldn’t cover Zion?
An MD fan of jealous of Duke and still in your head. Seems normal.
unc made it to consecutive championship games with a grand total of one OAD. Villanova has won 2 out of the last 3 titles with no OADs that I am aware of. How many OADs were there in the entire Final Four last year? Duke has won one title with multiple OADs. Two of those guys were not projected as OAD. They haven't been to a single Final Four outside of that championship since OAD became the trend for 5 stars. Loul Deng and Corey Maggette are the only other Duke players to have played in the Final Four as a OAD. Kentucky has been to 3 Final Fours since, one championship. But like Duke, they haven't been there since 2015.
So it is nowhere near being like Alabama and Clemson in football. Cry me a river about not being fair. What's not fair is not winning titles with all of this talent.
