He's not the best recruiter in college basketball, not by a long shot. And all of college sports?! LOL Knew somebody would come back with that reaction; expected it to be Hoss. You ever been to Syracuse in the winter? It's not exactly Batavia, but that's not a far stretch. It is amazing he can get any mid-tier, much less top, recruits to go there, but he has had some true diamonds through the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Cap Anson once said he wanted his gravestone to read "Here lies a man who hit .300" Now, he was a horrible human being and an irredeemable racist for his entire life, but that's a damn good quote. Damn, i love early 20th century baseball. The characters, the stories. It's so addictive to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA gives premier matchups everyone wants to see. Except the Knicks this year, not sure what happened there.

I don't interact with their fans very much but they don't have a leg to stand on. Cuse is a perennial bubble team that gets mostly 3 star recruits.

I'm a UNC alum living in NC, so I respectfully beg to differ. It's pronounced dook by the way. Your average dook fan here is like the worst Patriots fan cranked up on meth. I couldn't possibly hate any team more than dook, personally (Leafs, Bruins, Flyers, Alabama, Patriots, Yankees, etc.), but I'd like to think I'm somewhat objective about it. Jay Bilas is the most insightful and entertaining NCAA BB analyst out there and has been for a long time. Grant Hill is the classiest basketball player/person ever. I won't bore you with the dook players I can't stand, but the real reason for my hatred is Coach K. Biggest ***** on the planet.

I dated a UNC gal once. It's easily equally annoying from that side. (Well, she was just annoying in her own way, I guess, but damn, she was...) But trust me, the UNC thing about Duke, well, why don't you just beat them? Edited January 23, 2019 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
