So now Wikipedia is not a "credible" link in this situation? What more do you want? Would it have to come from Duke University to be credible?
The wikipedia link doesn't say what you allege. It just says the SID asked the NCAA how to credit the records. Coach K's quote there says they should have gone to his record. The rest is a conspiracy theory on your part.
And no, wikipedia is not a credible source. Has it ever been?
If you think Duke fans do not hate UNC as much as UNC fans hate Duke, I have a bridge to sell you. I guess the dressing up Frankenstein's monster as Eric Montross, having up signs JR can't Reid this sign etc don't mean anything to you or referring to Scott Williams as an orphan after his parents were killed in an accident. Granted they can be equally as obnoxious against others but they reserve special comments for UNC players.
That's just ribbing. It's not a hate site on the web that tries to cast suspicions on the integrity of the entire program and their coach. If you can't see the difference there, I don't know what to tell you.
And you acknowledge yourself that the Crazies do this to everyone. Reserving special comments for UNC? Well whoop-de-doo. The best ribbing is specific to the person.... althought the JR can't Reid sign has probably been used on others with that last name.
I know it must be killing you as a Duke fan knowing UNC has been to the Final Four two of the last four years and an Elite Eight one other year as Duke has fallen further and further down as a program.
I'm not going to lie, I wish Duke had done better the past couple of years. And I can acknowledge that UNC has had a successful past few seasons. But I'm not sitting here creating an illusion that your coach and your program don't have any integrity or class.
Of course as long as Wojo is teaching your big men and another non-entity named Chris Collins is also an assistant coach, it won't be easy to get back to prominence.
Duke is arguably the most prominent program in the country. Nice try though.
Duke will continue to bring in guys like Paulus, McRoberts, Scheyer and Melchionni who can get them a decent regular season record but fail come tournament time.
It could be worse. We could have a guy who has been named freshman of the year, all conference three times, all conference player of the year in 2008 and sports illustrated and sporting news player of the year in 2008, who STILL hasn't gotten it done come tournament time.
