Here We Go Again

The rivalry is renewed tomorrow night.  As a mildly obsessed Duke fan, it doesn't get much better than a Duke-UNC game.  I might get to another post tomorrow about the game, but for the time being, step inside and watch some of the finer moments from the rivalry over the past 15 or so years (don't worry you baby blue bitches, I've got some UNC highlights as well).

You see?  I'll even start with a UNC highlight.  It's hard for me to say this, but holy shit I love this dunk.  I think it's Dickie V's call that makes it so great.  These '95 Tar Heels were an ever so cocky bunch that loved having a good time, but they backed it up.  This is probably my least hated UNC team--can't really explain the levels of hatred, but I just know that the '95 team didn't have a travelling machine or a dancing fool (I won't link to his stupid dance).

Just an awesome moment, and it would've been awesom-er(sp?) had Duke pulled this game out in double OT.  Oh well, at least Rasheed didn't kill anyone that night.

So, Stu liked him some Duke coeds?  Sounds about right.  This game was about as hyped as the OJ trial.  #1 v. #2 in Chapel Hill.  Duke was playing without Elton Brand, and UNC was playing without Duke's whiteness.  Translation: a 24 point UNC win.  Jamison was a beast in this one, and even though Duke cut it to 4 points late in the second half, UNC was a tad too dominant this night.  Not to worry though, because a couple weeks later Sir Elton Brand helped Duke overcome a 17 point second half deficit to win a tight one in Cameron. 

We could go back and forth on who was to blame for this little flare up, but I think we can all agree that Felton overreacted a tad.  I was busy looking for a sniper in the rafters when the fight broke out, but luckily it was just a finger to the face.  Can you believe Felton came back in to the game??  What a fighter!

JJ came to play that night.  If only he could've pulled one of these games out against Michigan State or LSU in the tourney--damn...

No need to look for a sniper here.  You know what cracks me up about this whole elbow thing?  I don't recall Roy Williams or even one UNC player expressing concern over whether Gerald's elbow was ok.  No no no, let's just worry about our guy and his 7 or 8 pints of blood on the court.  Jerks.

Glorious.
