Everyone here thought UK was gonna beat the brakes off of Duke. I would hold off on following any prediction that comes from this board.

I was skeptical, but admitted thought they'd struggle more without a SG or a true front court.

But predictions before a season starts are a bit different. And this isn't just our board.. This was the entire nation. You'd have thought Duke was going to win every remaining game by 30+ with the starters out mid way through the second.

I still think ACC teams are gonna have something to say about this for home games. Duke will have off shooting nights for certain and that's when they'll be vulnerable.

Do you really want to do this? You will lose. Do you honestly think you could win this? If you'd like we can but come with a definitive statement versus a "than I can find". You can take your apology and stick it up your..hello....

Do I want to do what? Not sure what you mean here. But if that's your dumbshit version of a challenge then ..yeah, whatever ..bring it on.

The situation is simple, with not much to debate. It appears you made a false accusation against another poster. A person with integrity would respond to that by simply apologizing and then it's forgotten.

If you choose to handle it differently ..,well. I guess that's your choice ..but taking that path does not say much for your character.

People here are deterring away from what the message was: Duke isn't quite as good as we made them out to be. Best team? Probably. 40-0? Best tw ever? Pump the breaks.

Or another way, who thought Army would have made several runs to keep it a game? Is that.. Is that no one? No one saw that coming? Everyone here thought it was gonna be a 50pt blowout..

I think that was your typical overreaction tho. If people were betting money I doubt anyone would have taken a line of 50 and put money on Duke to cover that.

I do agree tho. We really won't know exactly where this Duke team is in terms of history until the end of the season.

They have the most talent this season. I'm comfortable in saying that. Are they better than our 2012 team? Or 2015? Where exactly will they end up......I guess we'll just have to see.

You simply have to say that you were wrong in this instance. You must have plenty of practice by now.

Baby's, (Tweedle dumb/tweedle dumber) and all by his lonesome willfully ignorant but willing. I'm back on a keyboard now and not on my phone. Let's do this...

(You started the name calling. At least I respectfully called you what you seem to be.)

BlueDevilWildcat stated: (Tell me if I miss-quoted)

"Saw the line on Duke vs. Cavs was 22.5 points. Don't think anyone thought that too seriously.

I'm convinced Zion is better than Larry Johnson. I also think he's going to win NPOY.

Coach Cal seems unprepared this season, he seems too hands off and that's not what this team needs. I'm sure he'll get things straight."

My response:
You sure seem to make a lot of suggestions about what UK, the UK fans, and Cal should do....

THEN ObjectiveModerate stated to my response:

"Did you read the Duke pregame threads? I predicted we would lose. I also said and still believe we will win the National Championship. Adversity has a way to destroy or focus a team. I believe Coach Cal will use this to focus this team. By late February, this team will be hitting its stride. As for Zion, I hope the kid does well. He has a lot of pressure on him. But predicting how great he will be off 2 games is flat out ridiculous IMO. That doesn't mean he won't be great but it means that I believe this world (including some fans on here) loves to skyrocket a person into the stratosphere quickly and then tear that same person apart when he (or she) doesn't measure up to stratospheric standards."

My response now:

How in the world do you jump into a statement I made to BlueDevilWildcat (No one else mind you, I quoted his post.) "You sure seem to make a lot of suggestions about what UK, the UK fans, and Cal should do...."

And get this response from another person who I have never (To my knowledge) had ANY response to in any way shape or form previously?

My response now (again); I, I, I from the Objectivemoderate like I have been carrying on a conversation with him either now or previously???

Remember Ole UK90, since you have tried to interject with me a time or two previously. This other one, NEVER before (That I remember)(I did that for the legalese.) have I had cause, need, or want to interact with she/he/it.

Sorry, that does not compute to me. She/he/its response is not in any form proper interaction, even on the internet. One person responded to my post.

As far as JohnBlue's statement, it was not definitive. (Note: I am not sure of what is required to sign up for a new account now versus when I signed up in 2005 or so.) I do know there are hundreds of fake accounts as they post daily trying to cause problems. It was the best he could do I guess.

Had I any inkling I felt I was wrong I'd apologize in an instant. I stand by my initial statement. I am sorry for one thing, I normally do not waste my time to the length I have in this response. Bring your game up a little more and maybe you will give me cause to apologize but so far all you have done is waste my time.

Oh, I won't use the word snowflake as someone else stated that is out-dated and I think it is as it has been used too much too often. I think more along the lines of candy-arsed.

Three is not a problem if you all are wrong (You are).

I post on this site for my enjoyment and to hopefully bring a little levity to those who may need or desire it.

UK90 has a couple times let me know he does not like it. I don't nor have I ever posted for him so I ignore him. Just for you UK90, I don't think you are the only one if it makes you feel better... The thing is, I don't post for you, I post for me...

I am in San Antonio presently but will be back in Lorton by the weekend if the Lord doesn't take me home. Wanna go for a drive? I came here by plane but am driving back...about 1700 miles...

Someone needs a hug, and a strong anti-depressant. I doubt you can get the first but you probably have a cabinet full of the second. I hope you feel much better in the morning.

I feel with my fingers. (Are you, you or are you BDW?) In any case, I just had some genuine Texas brisket, and I get hugs daily from my darling wife and children when they are around. My children are grown now. We are visiting my youngest. To be honest, I am living large (Not trying to brag). Not much on engaging some peoples stupidity, especially people I have no track record interacting with. (That be you.)

I am loving life...

I could call dozens on this site a jerk and they'd know how I meant it with no doubts knowing it was stated in a nice way. If I called you a jerk I probably mean it. (I am not calling you a jerk right now.)

Good luck to you. I sincerely mean that. In any event it's up to you.

We can agree to disagree on the basketball issues--it's just sports anyway. I am glad you have a wonderful family, that is what life is all about. Enjoy your night.

This is bizarre. Outside of this thread, I've had no prior thoughts about you. I know you as a user name that appears on this board, and one I've probably responded to, like a ton of others, but that's it.

Yet now you post about me as if we had some ongoing thing. If so, I was unaware. Appears I've been in your head, but I'm not sure why. I can assure you that you've occupied no time in mine other than the few seconds it takes to respond to these posts.

Fake, I never stated you were stalking me but you keep enjoying.

And I never said anything about "stalking" either. Where the hell did that come from?

You seem like a strange dude.
