Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Duke Nation. I hope each and every one of you have a Safe and Great Holiday Season, please cherish the time spent with your loved ones!
Okay ladies and gentle men (licks lips like Joker); here is a very special top 10 night. Maybe top 20. I have Coor's Light, Nathan's hot dogs, Funyuns, Reeces Pieces and tomorrow off. Hey man, I can start eating good on Wednesday. I found a youtube game of Duke/Temple from the elite eight in 99. As many of you know, that is my favorite team ever, in any sport. Okay, maybe 77 Yankees; but these guys are close. I don't think I've seen this game since 99. And here weeee go!
1. Al McGuire is calling the game. How cool is that?
2. Elton Brand injured his wrist in the sweet 16 and almost didn't play. Was he injured in the final four?
3. John Chaney; hall of fame coach and Cal ass kicker.
4. Avery with a 3. I love his swagger; he got so many open looks because he was a legit threat to drive it at any time. (He shot 40% from 3.
5. This Temple team is good. Big, deep and athletic. Brand having some early trouble with their height. Paging Mr. Burgess..
6. Temple up 8-5 at the 16 minute mark. We look like we're in trouble!
7. After the commercial Langdon had hit 3 threes and were up 5. **** you youtube haha.
8. Moment of silence for my St. John's Redmen, bounced in the elite eight. That was the Ron Artest team. Lost by 3 to Ohio State.
9. Burgess with the and one. And then a block. Nice to have a top 10 sophomore big man off the bench. Think he should have played more. Apparently so did him and his dad.
10. Temple goes to zone but Langdon and Avery are killing them. duke up 10.
11. Maggette with a sweet drive. McGuire says he will be the greatest player to ever come out of Duke in 3 years. Sniff. Al raving about his quickness and explosiveness.
12. Brand starting to get going. Great as he was he did struggle with height. But he was not a center. How crazy is it to have a frontcourt of Brand, Carrawell and Battier (who was still a role player at this point)
13. WOW. Avery with the dime to Brand, with the two handed dunk and backboard slap. Bad***
14. Some on DBR said this might have been the best college team ever and I might agree. Yes they lost in the finals, so they cannot be. But damn; this team.
15. Brand with another dunk. 41-29. Thank you for playing Temple; you get some lovely parting gifts.
16. OHHHHH Maggette spaghetti with the putback dunk before the half. McGuire is losing his mind. RIP Temple. His head was up near the rim. Al calling him Superman. That is some Zion ****. This dude did not even start.
17. Langdon now 5 for 5 from 3. Battier with the rebound and assist.
18. Nate James in the game. I forgot about him. Think he had an injury redshirt the next year. Not to be nitpicky but we probably could have played James and Domzalski more. 9th and 10th guys. To those who think this year is the deepest team ever; no.
19. Temple pulls within 14 and then Chaney gets a tech and has to be restrained. Control your temper coach.
20. Temple within 10! Mini run! Oh noo Mr Bill! Temple full court press. Avery down, poked in the eye. Uh oh.
21. Langdon drives; gets fouled. Automatic 2 points. 70-54. Langdon 2nd all time Duke Free throw percentage to JJ.
22. Final score 85-62. I honestly think only the 90/91 Duke team would have a prayer of beating this superteam. But alas they did not close the deal, so the 90/91 team gets the edge. But I think in a one game series the 99 team wins. It was a pleasure seeing this team in action again; oh what could have been...

I personally think the 99 Duke team was the greatest college team ever assembled, I don't care that they lost in the championship of a single elimination tournament. They beat anyone in a 7 game series.
The 2002 Duke team was incredible too, but gagged in the Sweet 16. They are the only team ever in the Ken-Pom era to be #1 in both offense and defense. But I think not having Battier around anymore hurt them, he was the ultimate winner.
This is always a fun debate among Duke fans. I think the best of K’s era was the 92 team. Battle tested, and they just refused to lose. They were a rock star group on tour. Never been a guy more clutch than Laettner, a more gritty guard than Hurley, and the ultimate Swiss army guy in Grant.
Possibly the next best team was 86.

sad day in the Men's College Basketball World, Greg Gumbel passes away at the age of 78. He was one of The Best to do it for CBS every time March Madness rolled around. He will be Missed!
Would love for ESPN to bring Dickie V back to call games when he is ready.

That is sad. Is Bryant Gumbel still around? Googled it he is. Guy was everywhere in the 80s/90s.

Bengals win a thriller against the Broncos! They are still alive, although starting out crappy every season is getting old.
Hey, I’m a panthers fan . So far all we got to look forward to is the draft lol and free agency .
Happy New Year a little early. Ditching the hot dogs and started tai chi from a dvd I bought. My top 10 lists will be very zen. I have tried tai chi in the past but never stuck to it. Good for stretching and your core and very low impact. If you think its easy try bending your knee and putting all your weight on one leg for 30 seconds. You can start off real easy which I did today

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.

Ditching hot dogs as in you're not eating them at all? I'm not much of a Tai Chi person but I have several pieces of gym equipment in my house, so I work out pretty often. But good for you, that sounds like a good New Years resolution.
Yes. Maybe on occasion, but thursday night i had some bad acid reflux. Probably for the best
If we make the final 4 I will, but other than that no.

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.

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.
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
Yes the original books were brown, then went to blue. They were updated every decade or so for slang, etc.
I knew I liked you for a reason
Go Irish!!! Go Duke!!!The game was not on where I live so I just watched the highlights. No hot dogs or Coor's today. it was heartburn city the last game baby; my stomach just cannot take that. Oh heartburn city here we come. Oh Jackie; what took you so long? (Quoting the Cars I haven't lost my mind.)
1. SMU. My main memory of them is Erik Dickerson on the cover of SI. Hell of a running back.
2. Proctor has really turned the corner. He has become the player we have been waiting for, and to be brutally honest the player Roach never became. Is driving with purpose.
3. Cooper hitting three's, midrange, driving, dunks. He has been taking over games lately, and is the kind of guy that could fuel a deep run. Hot take: Cooper is having a better freshman season that Banchero or Tatum. Yes I said it.
4. James with 8 assists. Kid is so strong with the ball. He's like DeMarcus Nelson only coordinated. Sorry DN.
5. A small change the last 3 games but a big change is the play of Gillis. His 3rd straight good game, and that dunk was nasty. Good things happen when he is on the court.
6. Kon with a solid game. Everyone jumped on the Kon bandwagon and then off, but he is playing steady. He has slipped on some mock drafts, but he is a terrific player.
7. Brown has been really quiet, I wonder how much that toe is bothering him. Luckily Gillis has stepped up but we need Brown.
8. This team is really improving and looking like a legit top 5 team. This game was never really in question, very impressive road win.
9. Foster had a nice game. Good to see. Evans quiet today. Harris and Pat members of the big lead, go in with 3 minutes left club.
10. Welcome to the ACC SMU. Now go sit in the ******* corner.
10B. Great job coach Carrawell, one of my favorite players.

Holy cow! I found Duke/Tulsa, our 1999 second round tournament game. I do not recall this game being on youtube or ever seeing this game. Sorry but I just love this team.
1. Duke on a 28 game win streak. Wow.
2. Game being called by Al McGuire and Vern Lundquist. I love AM but can't stand Vern Lunquist. He is such a blowhard and SEC homer in football. He also makes every play seem like the greatest play he has ever witnessed. Ugh. (sorry unpopular take) I have yet to recover from him slobbering over Tim Tebow for 4 years.
3. Langdon was coming off an ankle injury and had missed 3 games. This does not get discussed much. Battier was also coming off an injury. This team was not 100% in the tournament.
4. Battier with a block and a charge in the first 2 plays. He was special. Then a basket.
5. Brand feasting inside. Tulsa has no answer.
6. Burgess in and 2 quick fouls. He was a bit of a fouling machine. Sub! Battier back in.
7. Avery to the hoop for the basket. One of the best Duke guards ever at getting to the hoop. Hot take: he was better than J Will. Certainly a smarter player. Should have stayed another year. He had some beautiful dimes. I haven't seen a Duke guard thread the needle like that in years. Only Hurley could pass like that.
8. Elton Brand with 18 points. With 8 minutes to go in the half. duke up 50 to 19. Damn.
9. The Tulsa coach is Bill Self! Wow I totally forgot he coached them.
10. Avery with 16 points and 6 assists. In the first half. Duke up 30. In the first half.
10B. We were up 40 in the second half. It pisses me off this team did not win a title.
