NCAAbbs - DUKE = ELITE EIGHT

discuss....

discuss what?

? your guess is as good as mine...

GEEEZ...let me spell it out for you here Dookie, Duke will go no farther than the elite eight, what do you think about that?

most pointless post of the year nomination? Speculate all you want, it won't do you any good until anything happens.

yeah! don't talk about the future here! theres only talk of the past and all of dook's great history! damascus terp2, if i catch you speculating about the tournament again, you'll be banned

talking about the future is fine by me. Do you really think it is necessary, though, to make a (what I feel as) pointless prediction that really has no merit and is obviously intended to start some sort of riot? I mean, if everyone posted, "Gonzaga=Sweet Sixteen" or "Winthrop=Round 1", then we would need a heck of a lot more bandwidth.

Hmmmm....

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the "Verbal Assault Area"??? I am glad that you are so quick to catch on Dookie. Actually, I am going to amend my prediction now that the barckets are out.

DUKE = SWEET SIXTEEN

Let me know if you need help with this one Dookie.

Verbal Assault Area doesn't mean "I post here so my credibility can become shot" Area.

Right....

You know what, you are right dookie. From now on, I will never go out on a limb to make a bold prediction, it really is pointless. I mean, why would any body ever do that, huh? Why would anyone want to start some controversy in here anyway?

If you want to start some controversy, do it in a more organized manner. More people will take you seriously that way.

BTW, I don't like the fact that you keep referring to me as "dookie". Do you want me to call you "twerp".

What would you suggest oh grand one???

Am I hurting your feelings dookie?

Subject: Will Duke choke in the Elite Eight?

Body: Given Duke's recent chokes (99), wouldn't one think that they will choke again this year? I do!

That seems like a very acceptable way to approach the subject.

I guess that's the difference between your grand Duke education and my lowly Maryland education. Your post is far superior to mine. I will follow that outline for all of my future posts. Thank you for blessing me with your grand wealth of knowledge. I know now that people will take my posts seriously and not just laugh them off as speculation that means nothing.

You are inferring way too much from my post. First of all, I didn't even go to Duke. Second of all, what is so bad about my post? You never have anything constructive to say, do you?

Also, how do you expect people to respond to a post like this:

Subject: DUKE = ELITE EIGHT
Body: Discuss...

I would want them to.....DISCUSS!!! (what a concept, huh)

And why am I not surprised this guy didn't go to Duke.

And you are right, I never say anything constructive.

Wow, you are so smart.

Is that constructive...I'm trying.

hmm, you tell people to discuss, but leave nothing to really discuss. A little explanation might be nice!

Plus, for all you know, I could have gone to Harvard!

I guess some people just need a little more explanation when it comes to things, huh dookie. From now one, everyone make sure to baby nate dogg through every post, he has real hard time understanding stuff it seems.

I know one thing...you didn't go to Harvard, and why would that matter anyway? I wasn't inferring that Duke is good school like Harvard, I was inferring that you are a bandwagon fan who really has no affiliation with Duke University. If you do, please let me know.

what a joke. You act like you know me or something about me. For one thing, I do have affiliation with the University. For another, I have been a Duke fan my entire life, don't give me that crap.

BTW, isn't it past your bedtime?

You right dad, it was way past my bedtime...thanks for looking out. Actually, I guess it was past your bedtime judging by the time of your last post, wouldn't you agree???

I know everything about you Dookie. You are all alike, it's not that hard to figure you guys out.

You know everything about me? Please elaborate. I know for a fact that you don't. For one, I'm not even in college yet, and you assumed that I had gone to Duke!

BTW, this is my last post with you. I don't want the ignorance to rub off on me.

Ahhh...I was just getting started dookie, please come back and play. I guess I understand though...I figured you would be the one to bow out of this conversation first. And you never discussed my prediction of Duke only making it to the Elite Eight, what do you think about that? I am really intersted to know.

BTW..please keep posting...I want some of your brilliance to rub off on me.

Good job guys. This is what the Verbal assault area is intended for. <img border="0" alt="[Cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/cheers.gif" />

I guess I' a little late here, but don't you real fans get sick of these faux Dookies who have nothing sensible to say except the same old twaddle that we have been hearing for years. And the name baffles me. Natejones? Is this a combo of Nate James and Joe Dahntay? In any case, he should stuff it and get off this board. He is an idiotic, moronic imitation of our real Dook flamers who are much more creative than that.

Incidenatlly, natejones(?) I have had 3 or 4 psychic flashes telling me that Duke will not get to the Final Four. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> Have I ever lied to you before?

What a post, Mom! Wow, I am extremely impressed at the way you spouted out ignorant remarks! My name (most people have one) is Nate Jones, and I am a huge ACC fan. Also, being an administrator, I pay for you to be able to use this site, so telling me to get off of them is, let's just say, not very smart.

BTW, what makes you think Duke won't get there? We have as much of a chance as anyone!

DT2, if thinking that I "bowed out" of our "conversation" makes you feel better, then I guess you are entitled to your wrong opinion.

Nate - This is the Verbal Assault forum. If you are too thin-skinned to handle being called a "dookie" you should simply avoid reading the posts on this forum.

oooooohhhhh.....

Big words from the Dookie, now we are all real scared.

And I don't know what you would call it, but "bowing out" is basically what you did, please let me know how this is a "wrong" opinion oh grand administrator. I bow in your precense. <img border="0" alt="[bow]" title="" src="graemlins/bow.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bow]" title="" src="graemlins/bow.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bow]" title="" src="graemlins/bow.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bow]" title="" src="graemlins/bow.gif" />

Nate - Even on verbal assault is isn't polite to flame your mom. What makes me think Duke won't get to Final Four? Duke won the ACC coach of the year? NOT. Duke won the ACC POY? NOT. Duke won the ACC regular season? NOT Duke lost to an NIT team? YES. Duke lost to the 8th team in the ACC? YES

Actually, Duke lost to the team that finished last in the conference.

Since three teams finished tied for 7th, they all finsihed in a tie for last place.

Last just sounds better than 8th.

Mom, I don't know if you realize this, and/or you are too blind to admit it, but...

Maryland JUST lost their most recent game to a State team that Duke blew out the next day by 30 points. In fact, Duke has beaten State by more than 25 points each of the 3 games this year!

Duke wins at Cameron by 21, MD wins at Cole by 14.

21 > 14

Duke=#1 AP, ESPN

BTW, still waiting for you to admit that you made a mistake about my name.

LK, being called "dookie" isn't really a problem with me. "The Dookie", being used in the context it was, is a problem.

DT2, do you want to keep chatting? Why don't you chat with us over at Sports Bar about more realistic and intellectual topics like evolution and abortion? You seem to have made a home over here in the VA forum, and rarely post on the more classier threads at the Sports Bar. Wonder why that is? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />

Also Mom, did Duke win the NCAA regular season? YES Did/Will Duke get the NCAA POY? YES Did Duke win the ACC Tourney? The most recent championship? YES

You can have all of the ACC POY, ACC regular season crap you want, we'll take the NCAA POY and NCAA championships all day.

Bash me all you want to for that, but if I wanted to discuss more realistic and intellectual topics there are better places to do it other than an ACC message board. And for what its worth, MR. Administrator, I am sure that most people who come this board could give a flying **** about those topics.

If you cared to look, the only time I have ever posted in the VA Forum is this thread and the reason I do it is because you are so much fun to play with.

BTW...the only context I was using dookie was the context that you said you were ok with, so what gives there dookie?

"Big words from the Dookie"
Get your facts straight.

Plus, I am guessing the real reason you don't want to discuss more mature topics is because you feel you don't have the intelligence to.

Considering you are the lone Dook representative on this thread you are indeed The Dookie.

You need to lighten up and lose the power tripping over a simple article such as the before you rub some people the wrong way.

If someone called you "the twerp" (if you are/were an MD fan), wouldn't you feel like you were being analogized as an animal? ex: "Aww, look at the dog"

how does dook expect to get ncaa poy when they didn't even get acc poy?

just curious.

<img border="0" alt="[pooh]" title="" src="graemlins/pooh.gif" />

If it wasn't meant to be derogatory we wouldn't twist the name Duke around into Dook.

I am certainly not a Terp fan.

Like I said, this is the Verbal Assault forum and terms such as Dookie and Twerp are not only allowed but encouraged. I am sure you would appreciate a sanitized site where nothing bad is ever said about Duke or none of us are condescending towards Dookies such as yourself. The second you decided to jump on the Dook bandwagon you subjected yourself to condescending monikers such as Dookie. You made your bed and you get to sleep in it. Enjoy!

First of all, I was born a Dukie. I never jumped on the Duke bandwagon. I was one of Duke's most avid supporters in 95.

ACC POY is for ACC play. NCAA POY is for the whole season play. Forte and Battier shared ACC POY last year, and Forte didn't even get a singled NCAA POY trophy. J-Will, not an ACC POY, got the NABC NPOY award.

Who do you trust more to determine who had a better season: the national writers who or the ones localized in your region who vote for conference POY and all-ACC?

No doubt in my mind that JWon't will be crowned national player of the year this season simpl,y because he was handed the award on a platter to start the season. On a national level it's a popularity contest while on the conference level it is often more reflective of the just completed season.

On the conference level, it's more reflected on who UNC biased people feel. Nationally, it is more of a popularity thing, and neither are objectively chosen.

I can't believe a dookie just referenced the UNC boas in this conference. The irony of your naivete is rather amusing.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by nate jonesacc:
First of all, I was born a Dukie. <hr /></blockquote>My condolences.

If you don't think that UNC biased people run this conference, I don't know what to tell you.

BTW, I know, I am so unfortunate to be a Dukie. You know, 9 FFs and 3 NCs in my 16 years of life is pretty bad compared to all of the other ACC schools accomplishments since then.

Son, the media in the conference is biased towards both Duke and UNC. The fact that your school benefits from this certainly means you will not be able to recognize this. Being blind to the reality around you is a common symptom of dookitis.

It's funny that you should say that about "dukitis". Duke fans are generally known as being very objective compared to UNC fans, MD fans and Kentucky fans. Those are 4 of the biggest fan bases out there.
