I wasn't planning on blogging tonight. But events over the weekend warrant a change in plan. And no, I'm not talking about some uprising in Egypt. Or the fact The Rite got all of 17% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes (Tony Hopkins mailing it in - yet again). Or that the Pro Bowl was an unwatchable fiasco. Or that Halle Barry is in an ugly custody fight. Or even The Tiger's mostly shitty play in La Jolla. Something much bigger went down yesterday. Which leads me to this -
Urgent Score Update from NYC: St John's 93 Duke 78 - and it was a massacre. A crucifixion. The Devils were run off the Madison Square Garden floor by the 10th or 11th best team in the Big East. It was beautiful. Coach K looked almost comatose on the bench, as he helplessly observed pitiful shooting and turnover after turnover. I don't think Duke would have beaten College of Charleston yesterday (no disrespect to Coach Cremins there -I'm a big fan of the guy). I'm beginning to think the hype over Mason Plumlee might have been just hype. And Seth Curry is no Dell Curry. Or Steph Curry either for that matter. It's a real blessing that Duke finds itself in the ACC this season. The conference is the worst I can ever remember. Maybe I'll delve into the terrible state of ACC coaching in a post soon. Beyond old Roy and the real Williams in College Park, all the ACC has of known quality is that Vicodin addict in The People's Republic of Durham.
Until next time - I am out.

We know you really love Duke.
urgent score update - duke goes to your second home and thrashes a mouthy bunch of terps and their "real" williams. btw - duke went georgetown last year and lost by 16. the result? another ring! be careful about throwing dirt on duke just because they lost to a vastly improved st. john's. that's why k schedules those games. oh yeah! jimmer fucking fredette!!!!
And what year did you graduate from Duke again anonymous?
