3. Your position doesn't have anything to do with something that happened back in 92 does it?

8. I'm a UofL fan, not UK
but Laettner should have been thrown out of that game earlier after he stomped on a UK player that was on the ground.


Naaah...just hate Duke and think it's awesome both UK *and* UofL have beaten them for the championship.

16. as Baptist schools go
Baylor is the least fundy of the bunch (except for U of Chicago, which I don't think is Baptist affiliated any more.) Which means it's still way, way WAY to the right of any sane person.

6. Baylor.
I like the coach. He is part of the Drew family, a basketball dynasty at my alma mater, Valpo. They know how to coach and play. Plus, the Drews are simply nice people.

9. Why is Duke so unpopular? This is an innocent question.
I don't follow the basketball March thingie (I know, I am a Martian.) And I know Nixon went to Duke, but gee whiz, so did a lot of people. I really am curious.

14. they're a private school with obnoxious students who didn't have the grades to
get into a real Ivy league school, yet still have superior attitudes. They have arrogant fans. I could go on...

15. Short answer is that they recruit a lot of rich kids
Of course there are other factors involved.

13. I'm in a real quandary
as an ex baptist, I should pull against Baylor. But I hate everything about Duke. I'm pulling for a meteor hitting the arena.
