You misinterpreted sarcasm, and now you are claiming I am trying to go back on what I said? Really?

To borrow the OSU football argument in regards to crappy performances by their counterparts in bowl games,...
Lol...yeah it's an OSU trademarked response.

It was the only example I thought I could use that would resonate with those reading.

ugh, these timeouts. Diagram the 12 point play coach.

Its a beautiful 64 degrees here in NC today, but watching golf from the west coast still makes me envious.

the Overrated chant
Never really understood it, doesn't it just imply the performance you just turned in isn't as great as it was perceived?

I am not even going to dignify that with a response, it is comical.

Just a fact swami, last time Duke gave up 90+ was Feb 22, 2009, that's all.

Comical? I'd say watching your team get their asses handed to them and you're worried about an overrated chant. That is comical.

I'll probably get bashed for my opinion but I dont think Kyle Singler will be anything but a role player in the NBA. I see Gordon Hayward written all over him.

I wish they would fire all these biased announcers. I want to hear about the teams playing not some stupid team from another conference. They haven't won a title in years. These announcers suck.

(There you go buckeye fans, this is what it feels like to watch another game and have announcers gush over your team)

LMAO>...comical as Duke is by FAR the media darling, handsdown. Dickie V would get to his knees at mid court if K wanted head. OSU is the #1 ranked team...they will be talked about just as ANY top ranked team would. Not only that, when the game is a BLOWOUT, the announcers have to find something to talk about.

I would tend to agree. Great college player though.

I can't believe I even have to say this

Duke has produced 9 national defensive players of the year since 1986, and is year in year out considered by experts to be one of the top defensive programs in the country. This season, despite giving up 93 on the road to St. John's, they are 5th in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency.

But no one is railing the Duke D. You don't have to say it.

And you're claiming everyone else is "touchy" about their team? Now there's comedy I can get behind.

Don't you have a Roy Williams call in show to telephone? Or is it That Matta? Which program are you rooting for today?

Not touchy, just defending my team after you insinuated they are inferior defensively by giving up 93 in a single game in January.

Did I misinterpret your comment somehow? If so please explain.

I was being sarcastic CBF, because comments like the one you made, are typically what I have to read while scanning through OSU game threads.

Lol...it was a quick fact they showed during the last couple minutes of the game...didn't you see it or had you already turned Lifetime back on?

I just found it relevant to today, not knocking overall defense.

yeah touchy is right.

I didn't see the stat, I am still unsure which stat you are referring to. The last time duke gave up 90+?
As for lifetime, despite my love for Jennifer Love Chewit and her sappy romantic sob stories, I would much rather watch the final round at TP
