This isn't a conspiracy our fans believe for one. It's not a conspiracy when it's true. The conspiracy would be that the committee doesn't give Duke favorable draws, when they in fact do. For one. Coach cal went on ESPN the other day and said the committee plays favorites and dislike's. This isn't the fans who believe this. This is the head coach of the university of Kentucky that I'm 100% sure knows more about the selection committee process than you do. And if he's telling the world on national TV this is what the committee does. Then bet your *** he wasn't lying. He said that the committee plays favorites (he was referring to duke). And that they screw the teams over that the committee dislike's (referring to UK getting an unfair draw on a yearly basis, and whenever we're not a 1 seed we're either 1 or 2 seeds underseeded every single year).Good lord. Literally presented with facts, and shown years where Duke got crappy runs, and says it is nonsense and spin.
No, you want to know what is biased nonsense and spin?
A bitter Kentucky fan insisting there is some massive conspiracy that seems to benefit only a single school that Kentucky fans hate, and it is not only operated by dozens of people unconnected to that school (and in most cases directly opposed to that school) but has also somehow remained behind the scenes, without anyone ever admitting to it or anything.
Greatest secret conspiracy in history.
I don't know how you succeed at all, what with the entire NCAA and and all the refs and all the ADs and officials at other schools actively working against you so much, especially considering how much they work for Duke. I can't wait for the big blockbuster story where someone finally comes out and admits they were part of it. Will literally be the biggest corruption story in sports history.
*sigh*
Want to argue UK was maybe under seeded? Sure, go ahead, I might agree actually. But denying when people show you when Duke has tough seeds, ignoring that Duke has a total of one non-tourney loss compared to what... Five for UK...? Complaining about Duke not winning a league which would have put eight teams into the tournament if it wasn't for some hookers? Insisting there is some vast, multi-limbed conspiracy literally covering hundreds of people in a dozen different organizations, including many whose day to day job involves beating other teams, including Duke, all while insisting that anyone who DOESNT see it is some reality-denying blind person... It just seems so homer and so... Well, for lack of a "kinder" word, delusional.
Straight from the horses mouth. This isn't a conspiracy UK fans choose to believe, this is a fact that the head man himself stated on national TV. He said UK gets an unfair draw every year, and that Duke gets a cake walk draw every year (look at the brackets the last 20 years and you'll notice what I'm talking about, especially the last 5-10 years, it's been a lot more blantant over recent history. Almost to the point of it being criminal). So. Look yourself in the mirror. And realize the conspiracy here is the one Duke fans believe, that they don't get favorable draws on a yearly basis. You really believe Duke deserved to be rated higher than UK especially considering UK beat Duke and that UK was ranked 5 spots higher than Duke headed into the conference tourneys that UK won and Duke lost first game? You really believe Duke desired a higher rating and a much easier draw in the NCAAT? Just pathetic. You're a piece of scum. You're the embodiment of everything that is trash in today's world. You choose to blindly ignore the facts when they're right there in front of your face. I'll bet my house that calipari knows more about the committee and there biases than you do, and if you think you know more than calipari about the selection process the committee goes thru. Then please do the world a favor. Find the highest bridge you can think of. And belly flop off of it. You piece of scum. There's already enough people in the world who make it a worse place than it is by choosing to blindly ignore the facts for there own personal satisfaction. One less person of that mold would truly be doing the world a justice.
What else do you want to convince the people here of? That maggette and Thomas didn't accept impermissible benefits, therefor making them ineligible and having wins/titles* vacated? The NCAA did the right thing by not punishing Duke? And then trying to convince us more that there isn't an NCAA bias favorable towards Duke? And let me guess you're going to use how the NCAA didn't punish Duke for impermissible benefits as your evidence that there isn't a bias favorable to Duke amongst the NCAA because that's the *** backwards life you live? If the NCAA goes to these drastic measures to protect Duke, do you really not think they instruct refs to protect Duke (example title game last season)? Well they do everything else to protect duke so why think they don't do that? That's the kind of logic you get from a dukie you all. You all have asterisks next to every title in recent history considering the banners wouldn't be there if the NCAA did there jobs. No fans outside of Duke count those national titles when thinking of Duke as a program. Coach Krybaby is as dirty of a coach as there is in college basketball, 3rd only to Roy Williams and Rick Pitino. Just because the NCAA chooses to protect his image doesn't make it not true.
