Most all the champions have a game where they could have, or should have lost. The holes in 17 had 2 games before the championship game.
Hopefully, today was that game for us.
Just a bad matchup for us tonight. We have no bigs that can take their big with them, so Tacko could just sit back and play second line d. Then Dawkins had a career game.
The missed one at the end? Maybe the man up stairs was letting us have one in return for last season.
Let’s count our blessings and get ready for VT.
Agreed. Sometimes, it takes a bit of luck.
I remember watching the Duke v. Maryland game at ESPNZone in D.C. in the Final Four. Long story short, I’ll never forget watching that game in a hostile environment. A Maryland fan walks up to our table at half. He makes a bet with me about the game. I say I’m not betting money but I’ll bet him a beer. After the game, I see him and ask for my beer. I was surrounded by a bunch of guys I didn’t know, all wearing black hats on backwards. Could have gone either way. The guy told me to go F myself. The guys with the hats all turned their hats around; all Duke fans (later found out two of them played for Duke back in the day). They escorted the guy to the bar to buy me my drink.
That Maryland fan and I are still friends after that night. That’s why I like this time of year. Strange, and awesome, things can happen.
