People, particularly Duke grads, wonder why Duke hoops is so loathed.
When you try to point out just how goody-goody the whole program is, the Dukies react with blind denials.
Give me a break.
Today, Coach K., in his whiny nasal-y voice, took issue with President Obama selecting North Carolina in his final four bracket:
"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski told the Associated Press."

Hey coach. Stuff it.
Nobody likes you except the students who paid the tuition to build the basketball court that they slapped your name on. Everybody with a brain knows your crappy American Express commercials amount to NCAA rules violations, but they'll never enforce them on you, the golden boy. Anyone objective wonders why YOUR expletive-filled sideline rants never make it on TV, while Bobby Knight and Gary Williams are renowned for their tempers. YOUR TEAM (okay, along with Carolina) is the team constantly coddled by getting HOME GAMES in Greensboro in the NCAA tourney. To which, of course, ESPN only points out that you're, like, 52-7 all time when you play in the East Region. Yeah, BECAUSE ITS A DAMN HOME GAME!
Look coach. Go pound sand.
You, Christian Laettner, WoJo, Bobby Hurley, Thomas Hill crying on TV, the whole lot of you can just get the hell off my TV. I hope you lose by 61 and Coach K gets run over by the other team's Center.
Disclaimer: I have historically been a (hated) Yankees fan. But being a Yankee fan is absolutely NOTHING like being a Duke fan.
Update 2:10pm
It has been rightly pointed out that Coach K. claims to be joking. To me, he's joking in much the same way Fox News commentators tell these wonderfully funny, harmless, centrist, "jokes".
Hey, Coach K is who he is. Lets be honest, here.
