You bet, I am not joking.
It is easier to get tickets at Duke than Kentucky.
Duke has a 1940's arena for a reason. They can't sell tickets bozo.
Many of Duke's games were not on TV. Go back and read the threads on this web site.
Geeze.
Sorry.
I can prove that I have all the UK games for the last few decades. No one at Duke can prove that with all the Duke games, dude. I have them. Ask Lurker.
I can get tickets at Rupp in like 10 minutes, I can get them at Duke too but it's going to cost me a lot more money. I think you need to check your Sunday through Saturday pill box, you may have missed your meds.
TheDuke1 does not respect me. He holds me in contempt.
I ignore him.SmokinSmile
I don't need to know what he thinks. I know what he thinks.
Bull shit.
But I still love you tw.
I will take you UK versus Louisville games next December.
Check is in the mail.
No for real, my friend has season tickets. He is 31 and has had them for a few years because they're not that hard to get.
This should have ended the thread. Funniest thing I’ll read all day.
In all seriousness, he could probably turn an obscure midmajor into a final four contender. Many of them have solid guard play and experience.
You may not be telling to the truth.
I'll go to a game next year with him and send you a selfie for proof. The dick pic will be for fun.
That will not happen.
Next year there will be fewer UK tickets because they are lowering the number.
They will only be three time those at Duke.
I thought you got offended when people insulted you? Or is it okay as long as you do it?
Call me when UK has half the Duke attendance.
Sorry, call me when UK had one third the Duke attendance..................

I have over 1,400 Kentucky games on video. No duke fan can come close.
It is truly pathetic.I love how Bert has ignored everybody who has proved him wrong and not taken his bullshit
Duke is a popular team, as is UNC, and Duke in particular has a bevy of star attractions, including the biggest college basketball attraction since... I don't even know. Really.
"Wednesday’s North Carolina-Duke men’s college basketball game drew a 2.7 rating and 4.34 million viewers on ESPN, up 80% in ratings and 79% in viewership from the teams’ first meeting last year, which aired opposite the Olympics (1.5, 2.43M), and up 50% and 41% respectively from the first meeting in 2017 (1.8, 3.08M).
...
"It also scored the largest audience for a UNC-Duke game since March 2011 (4.61M) and tied the highest rating since March 2009 (2.9)." https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2019/02/unc-duke-ratings-increase-espn/
The Zion effect is very real and very potent, as seen by the drop-off for the second game:
"The absence of Zion Williamson likely kept the game from greater heights. Last month’s UNC-Duke game, which saw Williamson play just 30 seconds before leaving with an injury, posted an 80 percent increase in ratings and delivered the largest regular season college basketball audience in five years." https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2019/03/duke-unc-ratings-increase-espn/

just curious, what do you think is Bs?I love how Bert has ignored everybody who has proved him wrong and not taken his bullshit
Any non game thread, but not excluding game threads, that makes it to 2 pages has likely moved on from the OT and transitioned into trashy nonsense. Just roll with it.

Its because the media machine at ESPN convinces people that Duke is must see TV. And specifically Zion.
Its the exact same formula they use for Red Sox/Yankees, the Warriors or Lebron, or Alabama Clemson Ohio State.

People under 72 don't keep recorded vhs (for the young'ins, vhs was a... Ahh fk it).
I think the biggest problem is that ESPN prioritizes individual players instead of teams. That's not an issue when it comes to tennis. But college basketball is a team sport. There are plenty of great teams out there that get very little recognition in comparison simply because they lack the electrifying talent that Zion possesses. I get that ESPN is an entertainment company more than a sports company but I don't think ESPN is just reveling in it. They have an agenda and are pushing it as much as they can.
