    Popular televisions shows you did not like.

    I can never get into police drama/procedural stuff like Law and Order, NYPD Blue, etc.

    Which player do you think improved the most over their time at Duke?

    1- Can’t disagree with Battier, my personal favorite, the GOAT, and one who changed his role from hustler, to defender, to best all around player, without losing any of the hustle or defense. AMAZING! 2- I like Zoubek and Lance Thomas as guys who realized their potential in a perfect role. But...

    You are clearly very sharp and I wasn’t trying to attack the left or the right. I was merely trying to point out that there are fools on both sides, and those fools seem to get a lot of the attention. I understand there were some big red flags with Trump prior to his election, and I understand...

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29276173/now-listening-roger-goodell-here-ways-nfl-effect-change One of the best written articles I’ve read about all of this. Granted the scope of what the NFL can do is small. But the author doesn’t just say there is a problem he offers solid, doable...

    It would seem with all the political divisiveness and name calling on this thread (but to be honest it’s much worse elsewhere), that we might all recognize the fact that the biggest problem facing this country is that it’s too divided. The right says Trump is attacked consistently, and often...

    See I can get behind a lot of those ideas. If we are honest I am someone who usually leans to the right politically, but because of my job and the people I influence (I coach football and basketball at my high school as well as teach mostly American History) I always try to look at things from...

    While I have no doubt there are some ultra-radical liberal professors out there, that is a small percentage of population. When I think about teachers I don’t think about elite level colleges, I think about local schools. You will find a wide variety of viewpoints depending on where you look. It...

    I have seen suggestions about what can be done to deal with SOME of the policing issues. IMO there is a seismic and historical shift happening on that front. I mean, NEVER in the history of America that I’m familiar with have we seen a police officers actions condemned as universally as Chauvin...

    Believe me I know that the college you went to actually matters very little in most cases, unless it’s UNC, then it says everything about who you are. Cool email from the student. That’s the reason for teaching. If you would rather send me an email when you get the time feel free...

    TheDude, History teacher here too. Not a Duke grad so maybe that means I’m not as qualified (jk, I’m really good at my job). Anyways, I don’t disagree with anything you are saying really. I have been wrestling with a lot of these ideas more recently for obvious reasons. I saw some of the stated...

    I have some thoughts about all this, but they are just some form or the other of ones that have already been stated here. but...it is very refreshing to read a form of social media (seriously this board is as social media as I get) where people are looking at both sides of an issue and not...

    Big Duke Question....

    I watched the UCLA and USC game, followed by the Maryland and Zona games in the FF. They were all on YOuTUbe not that long ago.

    Let’s make new positions for basketball..

    I would agree, except KD can’t truly run PG or play 5 for a long time, and Giannis can’t run true PG either. LeBron is the only one who can truly do them all. Again, not a LeBron fan or anything, but it’s just what makes him special. I remember that year Singlet was the 5. We built unc at the...

    Big Duke Question....

    I love checking out some of those “in between” years too. We all know why 86 was so important, and obviously the 91,92 teams. But from 88-90 they had some really good teams that weren’t way off from national titles. It’s just harder to go back and watch their games because they actually lose the...

    Let’s make new positions for basketball..

    Well we could call them at type of player a “Roy”, but that’s not fair to all the other positions he’s invented, which is a majority of them. I would call someone who can legitimately play all 5, a “LeBron.” I don’t suck up to LeBron like some, but that dude is the only player I know that has at...
