I thought that I would pass on these quotes from The Devils Den forums courtesy of Truth About Duke It might sound just a little familiar.
i’m sick of slow ass players. it’s killing those program.
i’m sick of some of you being defensive about us having slow ass players. i’m sick of you guys not understanding that having elite athletes often offset mental mistakes and missed free throws. having elite athletes who can take an outlet pass and race 60 feet for a damn layup is NICE once in a while. hell, i enjoy it!
i’m sick of people using “we’re spoiled” as an excuse. look, we know what we signed up for. when we invest the level of emotional energy for MONTHS that we do rooting for duke basketball…c’mon, you expect a certain reward.
next year is critical. all of those guys had better pan out. every last one of them. or we are cooked. K doesn’t have many years left, man. he’d better get it back on track.”

Tubbs doesn’t have many years left, man. He’d better get it back on track. Or on track at all, since it’s never really been on track since hes been here. But he needs to start tonight.

Dude, seriously. It’s not like its Dick Fick on the bench here. “since it’s never really been on track”. What is that. I’m not the biggest defender of Tubby in the world (by far) but don’t pretend like he hasn’t had some success here.

You know lets all try to forget the Tubby isue and support are guys. They are working hard and deserve respect frome there so called fans! IT has been two tough seasons IM not the biggest fan of Tubby but he has had great teams here and deservs to right the ship. I agree his assitants need to go but im affraid if they go so will Tubby he just that type of person. But him leaving is not the best thing. People will be down on us and call all of us spoiled and racist. I hate to say but look arounf the web it is just stupid to act this way I understand Kyle were ur coming frome it hurts to love a team as much as we love are wildcats and see theme this bad but lets not make are selfs look stupid. We are after all Kentucky fans lets act like it
Im not sayng Tubby should stay or go but soumthing has got to change and it is going to so lets all forget it for a while and support are cats. Im hoping they get there first big win of the season tomorow the blue blood in me cant help to think that we can!!! GO BIG BLUE ! C:A:T:S … cats .. cats …cats

Bobby Perrrrrry I bet you guys are really glad tubby was able to real in this kid bursting with potential… There’s a reason dukes hall of fame coach didn’t recruit this kid, Perry lived in our backyard but we didn’t want him, Tubby wanted him though…Tubby should have known if K wasn’t recruiting him not too recruit him either, because in order to be the best (duke) you have to recruit like the best (duke)… Just face it UK fans you guys aren’t very good, I’ll admit you all had your days of glory when pitino was here but now your just a cupcake in a power conference… Stop worrying about that game winner I hit a decade ago, the past is the past and start living in the future and I’m sorry that you guys are so bad, sike!!!

Let’s face it Christian, the only reason ANYONE even remembers you is the freak shot from half court against Kentucky!!! If it had been against any other team, nobody would have cared.
Luck is luck. Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then!!
