Sorry, I know it is schadenfreude but man

[KitchenWitch]

it is nice to see Coach K eat some crow for a change.

[democracyindanger]

1. Schadenfreude means never having to say you're sorry.

[KitchenWitch]

4. I suppose that is technically correct

I guess I am not wired for schadenfreude.

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. This is another thread about Duke, right?

[KitchenWitch]

3. Yes

sorry.

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. LOL! No need to apologize...

I love the enthusiasm!

[KitchenWitch]

12. Cool

I have enthusiasm for real stuff too. Example, I spent almost a half an hour on the phone with one of the Democratic candidates for county attorney in my county today. I had planned on speaking with the other candidate today, but he was away for the afternoon.

6. At least it's not another

Brazillion joke thread. That shit is so old.

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. Amen to that!

[Swamp Rat]

5. ?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

7. Coach K is Duke's basketball coach

and seemingly the overwhelming "favorite" (at least by ESPN's standards) to win the NCAA tournament. He is also an overwhelmingly arrogant and smug man. Duke lost tonight, and his post game interview was fun to watch. To say that he is not used to losing is an understatement.

[Swamp Rat]

8. That'll learn him!

Thanks fo' da info.

I only watch soccer (futebol), so I know very little about basketball... I liked the Harlem Globetrotters when I was a kid. Does that count? :shrug: :D

[KitchenWitch]

9. I LOVE the Harlem Globetrotters!

Sure it counts, but I am not sure what it counts for!

:pals:

[Swamp Rat]

13. When I hear their theme song I can't get it out of my head.

I end up whistling for hours. :D

[KitchenWitch]

14. Ahhhh Sweet Georgia Brown

Great tune...good times.

[Lautremont]

35. I'm putting two hundred bucks on the Washington Generals.

They're DUE, dammit!

[xmas74]

19. I didn't pick Duke to win.q

I hate Duke and have since the days of Laettner.

I've got money on UConn taking it.

[KitchenWitch]

20. I have Gonzaga taking it all

versus UConn!

[xmas74]

23. Interesting choice.

I do think that UConn will be F2. What do you think of Geo. Mason right now?

Great news about Duke. I haven't smiled quite so much as when KU blew it!

[KitchenWitch]

26. I am shocked by George Mason

but they seem to have wheels. I am scared of GMason at this point.

[xmas74]

27. Geo Mason could blow the whole thing for me.

I've watched every game and held my breath.

If they can pull it off I'll lose some money but will be quite happy for them.

If UConn goes first I'll root them on.

[KitchenWitch]

29. I know exactly what you mean!

They are that good. So do you think they were underrated?

[xmas74]

31. Judging by their season, maybe.

I didn't know how good they were and there really was no big buzz about them. Yet at the same time they almost didn't make the tournament in the first place. I think that they realized that this was their big chance. They are an underdog and they are really playing w/ heart instead of thinking about draft pics in the future.

They are doing a fantastic job. I get so sick and tired of the gloss that most of the teams have. Geo. Mason has given me a reason to actually watch college ball again.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Oh and imagine my dismay when the Timberwolves

drafted Laettner... :grr:

[xmas74]

25. I bet that was not a good time.

I used to watch the T-Wolves for the express purpose of laughing at Laettner.

Back in the day I proudly sported a "Duke Sucks-Laettner Swallows" shirt. I even received a detention for it once.

[KitchenWitch]

28. The Wolves were still a relatively new franchise then

but I cannot help but think that particular draft pick set them back about 10 years.

[xmas74]

30. yes it did.

They wanted Mr. Pretty Boy (and I must admit-he did have pretty blue eyes) and they got him. But he was not in sync w/ anyone there.

Awful pic all the way around.

[WeRQ4U]

34. One of the few Duke products that I cannot stand.

He was such a dickhead.

[reyd reid reed]

15. One of my kids loves LSU

And even he expected Duke to win.

I wanna call him up and say, "See? Never, ever say 'die'."

That might be construed as an 'I toldja so', though...so...thoughtful, caring, nurturing mother that I am, I shall refrain.

But MAN, I wanna...

[KitchenWitch]

16. Refrain from it!

But you can go to bed smug in the knowledge that you were right!

:7

[liberaltrucker]

17. As fark.com always says.....

DUKE SUCKS!!!!!!!!:applause:

[KitchenWitch]

18. true dat!

[Redstone]

22. Who is "Coach K," and why?

Redstone

[KitchenWitch]

24. Here is a link

http://www.coachk.com/

Mike Krzyzewski (pronounced Shashefski :wtf: )

Duke's Mens Hoops coach. Arrogant POS in my most humble opinion.

[Redstone]

32. He LOOKS like a smacked ass. Don't even need to read about it;

that smirk tells all.

Redstone

[KitchenWitch]

33. precisely!

[GreenArrow]

36. yes indeedy,

K is an arrogant, phony, hypocritical, smug, gilded piece of shit.

He's one of those Human/animal hybrids, BTW, a human/rat mix. Or a ferret,maybe...
