Chris, hopefully C Fos can get consistent with his good play. He played really well at Georgia Tech, in the 1st half against Kentucky, and against Auburn. He just needs to play well Consistently.

Evans is averaging 11 points the last 4 games off the bench. I also think Sion in the starting line up has made us tougher. Foster needs to regain his confidence, he doesn't look comfortable coming off the bench right now.

Yes the original books were brown, then went to blue. They were updated every decade or so for slang, etc.

I may or may have not binge watched the first 4 seasons of Stranger Things in a 2 week span. Great Show, I am looking forward to the Final Season coming out later this year!

“I’ll teach them to keep calling me Slim” - Evans during that play haha

The FBI is such a disgrace. A truck plows through a crowd in New Orleans on NYE, has an explosive device and shoots at cops as they approach the truck. But this isn't a terrorists event. There is a black flag that the FBI folded up. What are the odds that it was an ISIS flag?

All that time and manpower wasted on PTA meetings and Maga rallies when the real threat has been, continues to be, and always will be Islamic terrorism

Considering it was New Years Eve, and the amount of time the team had off, it wasn’t a bad game at all.
Let’s hope from here forward, we keep improving.

Biden gets the distinction of being in the top 3 of the worst presidents ever, but the tragic part of it all is he wasn’t the one making the decisions. It shows the evil and cunning ability by the puppet masters and the media.

Sadly, there’s no amount of incidents that will ever convince people like @Dattier. No amount. If Biden were a Republican though, he would have been outraged from Day One.

And he would have been right to be outraged. Sadly though, he’s nothing more than a trained party hack.

Wonder why the MSM hasn't mentioned the truck crossed the border at Eagle Pass Texas 2 days ago? Watching ABC and they conveniently left out the part of President Trump's statement that addressed the evil entering the country.

And speaking of the bold, when you set the bar that low and that rigidly, all it takes is for one tiny thing to go right, or for one tiny thing to suck gradually, and you're already wrong. Didn't your teachers tell you about words like "always" and "never"?

His fate was set by midterms. What other presidents had more disastrous first halves of their first terms than Biden? Everything he touched went to shit instantly.

There were 100 instances where he was completely and obviously unaware of what was going on. He read from the teleprompter what his handlers were telling him to say. And in the rare moments he had to speak from the cuff, he said some pretty old smush brain stuff.

If I would budge from a hard line stance, I will rephrase my statement that Biden was the worst President in history. He was the most brain dead President in history and the most illegitimate President in history and the worst President in your lifetime and was one of the Worst Presidents in history. A corrupt, lying, child groping, total piece of shit.

How could anyone with at least a room temp IQ have watched that Trump Biden debate in June and their take away is to ask if Biden’s mental deterioration has been exaggerated?
To have watched that train wreck and be reminded that this is the POTUS is to have experienced one of the most horrifying events of our lifetimes

And he divided the country like never before with his demonization of half the population.
His open borders that leave us more vulnerable than ever before to a terrorist attack.
Hundreds of thousands dead to fentanyl and thousands of kids sex trafficked all due to his unraveling of Trump and Obama era policies to protect this nation from criminals. His cozying up to Iran and China.
His capitulation to Putin, leaving the most blood and carnage in Europe since Ww2

An epic fail

P.S. Where are all the charging stations that were paid for years ago?

Used to go to the library and read an entire Hardy Boys book on a weekend. They were from Bayport, as was I. the books were Conn; I was from Bayport, New York. My sister read the Nancy Drews and we would switch. I think they were written by the same groups of people.

I think they were too. I was the same way I would read a book in a day or two. I didn't realized some were published in 1927. Just looked it up

Had a uncle that was a principal he used to give us books to read growing up during Summers. I read several Hardy boys mystery books must have been around 1970.

Watching the old Hardy Boys tv show from 78. Takes me back to my childhood. Valerie Bertinelli is the guest star. Man she was cute. Also have the original Battlestar Galactica for the full Sunday ABC line up. I like collecting seasons of old tv shows a pawn shop has them super cheap. I have Charlies Angels and Three's Company and Happy Days and Mork and Mindy.

Happy New Year ladies and gentle men. This forum deserves a better class of poster and I'm gonna give it to you. Just remember I'm not a monster I'm just ahead of the curve. There are Coor's, there is Chinese food, and here we go...
1. Schutt with his first and only basket of the game. I'm sorry son I can't remember your first name. It's Jaden, Jaren, Jordan or some J name that translates to one dimensional white boy. Could be the next Alex O'Connell.
2. I like this Cooper of the last 2 or 3 games. He is starting to look dominant. Hitting the 3. We need this Cooper to cut the nets down. No pressure, buddy. he is scoring at will on these guys.
3. Don't look know, but Gillis is emerging like Godzilla out of Tokyo Bay. Rebound and put back, a few 3's 10 points. 2 straight stellar games. This is the Big 10 6th man of the year.
4. Proctor with 1, 2 to the 3 dunks. Man is full on dog. He cuts like a knife, but if feels so nice. Na na na.
5. Evans needs to start looking for his shot more. He jacks up shots like the ball is on fire. But he makes them, one of our best shooters so keep shooting.
6. This does not show up on the box score but Gillis REALLY bodies up on dudes. He's Theo John 2.0. You need those dudes.
7. Sion with a man sized rebound and putback. Love that we are pushing VT around.
8. Kon with the nice step back jumper at the half. Kon just knows how to play and understands angles. He's Luke Kennard without fixing his hair every 8 seconds. Maybe that's why he cut it.
9. Proctor with another dunk in traffic! We need Dickie V. Oh my God are you serious?
10. Foster in the game late. Foster: Australian for "waaaay behind Sion and Evans in the lineup." We need you back buddy.
10B: Mal with a nice game. Some blocks, some dunks. That's what we need from him.
Really impressed with this game. I get VT is not good but we just dominated them. Duke is starting to look like Duke and the chickens are coming home to roost. The tough early schedule has really helped us. Good job Jon, squad and Happy New Year.

I just want to say… my favorite play of the game was Evans assisting on Mason’s 3 with about a minute and a half left.

The two of them are arguably competing for the same minutes. There has been a pretty direct correlation between more minutes for one and fewer minutes for the other.

It’s a play that reminds me that the Brotherhood is strong and that despite individual aspirations, the team goals come first.

That was a good play and Evans made a good play to get by his man and a selfish player would have shot a floater

I really can’t take you seriously when you claim — before the midterms in President Biden’s only term — that he is by far the worst President in US history, and then claim that it has been under-exaggerated how bad he was… and that Harris is even worse.

At no point have I suggested he was all there. Your claim has been that he not only wasn’t running anything, but that he also wasn’t even aware of what was happening.

When that’s the hard line you won’t budge from, why would I bother engaging with your questions at all? You’re not interested in discussion; you want complete capitulation.

Defense is definitely really good this year.

Click to expand...

Yeah, and to me, that’s possibly the most impressive thing. I mean, all but 2 guys in the rotation are brand new to Duke, and while on offense an individual can shine regardless, defense really has to be more cohesive. For Coach Scheyer to have gotten such a consistent, high level from the D with the inexperience (together) of our roster is really impressive.
