🚨 Official Gameday Thread- Duke vs Kentucky- champions classic 🚨

Duke by 3

Even though UK is just a team mashed together from the portal, they got a nice mix and a lot of different pieces that a few Duke fans were tracking. Butler is an elite defender but struggles offensively. Brea elite shooter, poor defender. Kriisa excellent facilitator but struggled against pressure at UA and WVU and is flat-footed on D. Then you got the interior guys…Williams an excellent rebounder and defender but couldn’t see the floor for long periods of time at Drexel (conditioning? And now he’s in a high tempo offense?). Carr who can go long spurts but disappeared at times at Wake. It really is an odd team but they def can beat anybody on any given night.

To state the obvious, this is really going to be Cooper’s game. I could be wrong but I don’t see anyone over there giving him fits so he should have plenty of room to operate. Just hope he doesn’t force the issue.

I read over at Rupp Rafters and they have me scared. They are going to run Cooper to death and he’s going to have craps from his chin to his calves. They might even hurt us with some zone D. We just have a bunch of freshmen and they have a bunch of upper classmen that are grown a$$ men.

That said, Duke 92 Kentucky 81 😁
Cramps we can deal with. No doubt playing Kensucky can give one the craps. 👍

Big boy game number 1 as our number 6 blue devils take on the number 19 wildcats in this matchup of Goliaths. I’m always extra excited for a Kentucky matchup as my maternal side of my family are all Kentucky fans.

Kentucky is coached by Mark Pope, a 1996 national champion from UK and former BYU coach. Pope I’m sure has had this game circled since being hired as his prime time introduction. Nothing would be better then starting his Kentucky career with a dub over the blue devils.

Prediction- we show up big time and give the national an introduction to cooper, kon, and mal

Duke- 102
UK-73

We are favored by 6.5

Week 12 - Off week, Part II

Duke arrives at its late-season off week sporting a 7-3 record.

Feels like the Blue Devils, flawed in a couple of ways, have still exceeded just about every expectation. There's some glass-half-full/half-empty here because if you want to dwell on how Duke should have another win or two, there's validity.

But man, I said throughout the summer and fall camp that the main goal for this season was getting to a bowl game, maintaining an upward trajectory of the program and getting to next season with a loaded recruiting class (and seeing what you can do through the portal). Now, we're looking at a season Duke could finish 9-4 or 10-3.

I'm not sure how much coverage I'll have this week. The PFF grades of the N.C. State game will be up ... sometime soon, I think.

Students should learn about communism, but shouldn’t be indoctrinated with patriotic propaganda. That sounds about right coming from a far leftist. You liberals just don’t seem to like America like us conservatives. I also don’t give a rat’s ass about who started tenure. We shouldn’t have it, but of course you’re going to politicize it as being the Republicans fault.
Granted, Stalin was our ally in WW2 but he was responsible for more civilian deaths than Hitler. Upwards of 20 million from political executions and man made famines from collectivization etc. No one ever calls their enemies a Stalin.
The evils of communism are downplayed by historians if not whitewashed altogether Some Leftists still are caught praising the tegimes of China and Venezuela

Why would I ever trust that any of y'all are joking when you throw the same kinds of things at me in earnest?

Tenure exists basically because of the Great Red Scare. College professors had to be able to educate students about things like communism without indoctrinating them with patriotic propaganda. Shouldn't people learn what communism actually is before making an informed decision about it? Isn't there a place for studying it as a concept, as a theory, and a place for studying it in application? Shouldn't political scientists use a variation of the Scientific Method, too, avoiding prejudices to make analytical decisions?

Really, conservatives should blame themselves for the existence of tenure. If they weren't determined to eradicate from education everything they're scared of and which doesn't fit their narrow worldview, it wouldn't be necessary. It's as relevant and necessary as ever as we look toward a second Trump Presidency. Quit political meddling in education and tenure won't be necessary.
