News: DMN: Duke senior Quinn Cook says Tony Romo beat him 1-on-1 w/video

[TonyS]

Funny how some football teams don't want their stars playing b-ball in the offseason, yet the Boys have their coach on the court with the star players.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I am surprised no one has *****ed yet that Romo and his bad back shouldn't be playing pick up basketball. LOL.

Just wait. It'll happen. Soon as he has 1 bad quarter, or throws 1 INT.

Someone will run on here and blame it on playing basketball in the offseason.

 

[Fletch]

that guys probably not getting drafted then. lol seriously? you lost to a 35 year old coming off 2 back surgeries?

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Well it is duke, they never really make it in the pros. Over rated school that cant hold a candle to the history or players of UNC

now if only we can beat them on Saturday

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

wow--Duke wins with class and players get legit grades

Krezewski is definitely not the epitome of class, just as William Avery's mom

I guess that is why Romo, Murray, Witten and Garrett are going to Duke, embrace the hatred!

 

[Rogerthat12]

I'm a Carolina Blue fan myself but I have to agree here. Don't get me wrong, I hate Duke but, I respect them and what Coach K has been able to do there. He's a great coach and Duke is a great Basketball program IMO.

This is an honest and fair statement, I am a Duke graduate and love to see UNC lose but I respect their history, coaches and program.

The best rivalry hands down in college basketball, to disrespect Duke and coach K is moronic, even if you love the Heels.

I'm like you in that I've always hated Duke but do respect Coach K and the program. Just hope they lose a lot.

I agree, but when your roster is sprinkled heavily with McDonalds All Americans, coaching becomes a lot easier.

That's true but it wasn't always that way for Krzyzewski. He won a lot of games before he put Duke in a position to be able to land all of those All Americans on a consistent basis. He's a great Coach IMO.

Yawn - this isn't news & to be honest I'm kinda sick of hearing about the witten - romo combo : ye of 2 whopping playoff wins .
While Eli flaunts two SB Mvps .

I'm still not over Romo throwing a mere 19 xs v Green Bay.

Biggest game of his career and he turned in a " manager " performance while the other QB took the game by the scruff of the neck .

 

[Corso]

Romo has a nice release and a between the legs crossover that compliments both a jab and a step back. I know they weren't really going at it but as a former college basketball assistant coach - I can tell he's got some game.

Interesting. As a former player (High School, nothing special) I thought the same thing.

Tony s like that.

lol

Romo had game in his day, but for Quinn was just goofing off. he could blow by Tony at will if wanted too....I'm sure you know that though.

It does sound like Romo legit beat him at horse though--which is an old man's game.

 

[DFWJC]

Back in the day with NBA player and former UConn great, Caron Butler

Romo was one of the better players in the state in HS

This just isn't really true. They've had/have about the same amount of NBA players. And the level of talent in the NBA from those schools is eerily similar.

And if you asked 32 NFL GMs who they would rather have they would all tell you Tony Romo, including Jerry Reece. Now go play in traffic.

This.

As rivals we can hate Duke. But they run a heckuva program.

Hey, they even had a tribute to Dean Smith before their home game vs Carolina this year. the crowd was silent and respectful.

Lol on what basis ?

Don't think this was super competitive. Extremely casual.
