Duke Sucks
« Previous Entries Next Entries »Greivis and Gary, POY and COY Winners
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Via tweet from Comcast SportsNet’s Chick Hernandez:
I have confirmed Gary Williams & Greivis Vasquez coach and player of the year in the ACC. Congrats to both.
Vasquez is Maryland’s first POY winner since Juan Dixon in 2002. Williams also won COY that season, before the Terps went on to win the National Championship.
I’d also like [...]
Fear the Curious Facial Hair
Thursday, March 4th, 2010Maryland 79, Duke 72. Meaning the Terps will probably share the ACC title, but not Player of the Year. That’s all Greivis’.

Update: Jordan Williams’ and-one dunk on Scheyer’s face
Update No. 2: Images and video of Terps fans storming the floor, etc.
Update No. 3: Via Steinz, here’s video of Vasquez’s [...]
A Duke Fan’s Rebuttal to Greivis-for-POY
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Here to rebut Andy’s argument that Greivis Vasquez is this season’s ACC Player of the Year is Duke senior and former Deadspin intern Ben Cohen.
Typically, when Duke goes up to play Maryland, the subsequent jeers are vulgar. Sometimes, they’re laced with profanity. In J.J. Redick’s case, they’re not-so-veiled allusions to sisters in high school. Mercifully, [...]
It’s Greivis Over Scheyer for ACC POY
Monday, March 1st, 2010Ladies and lads, here’s Mr. Irrelevant Maryland sports correspondent Andy Peden.
Wednesday’s Maryland-Duke game is billed as a showdown for both the ACC regular-season title and ACC Player of the Year. Over the past 56 years of the ACC, 71 percent of its POY winners have come from a team that finished first or second in [...]
Maryland-Duke Winners & Losers
Saturday, February 13th, 2010I was all geared up to watch today’s Maryland-Duke game and do a Winners & Losers-style post about it, but, yeah, that game sucked. Let’s keep it brief.
WINNERS
The Cameron Crazies, who have finally stopped distributing “cheer sheets”.
LOSERS
The Terps, who laid an egg.
DMV: Maryland Loses Blue-Chip Recruit
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009Terrence Ross, Maryland’s top recruit for 2010, pulls back his verbal commitment to the Terps and seems to be considering Duke. Ouch. [Testudo Times]
More on the Ross situation. [Terps Insider]

It’s Gary Skywalker vs. Duke Vader
Saturday, March 14th, 2009As noted by Hell in a Red Shell (which provides the image seen here), this is the first time these two have played in the ACC Tournament since 2004. And we all know how that ended.
Here’s to hoping for a similar result, and for a healthy, hate-fueled conversation down below in the comments. Keep it [...]
The Definitive Opinion of Scheyer’s Face
Thursday, February 26th, 2009I hope the guy holding the huge Scheyer Face is doing an impersonation.
As Jamie noted in the DMV this morning, the Terps fans broke out the Scheyer Face signs in force last night. The above photo gives you a decent idea of how the entire student section looked. And the quote below gives you [...]
Maryland-Duke II Winners & Losers
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009Handing out labels following Maryland’s 78-67 loss to Duke …
WINNERS: Dave Neal — For destroying Nolan Smith with that screen and then draining a three. It was a fantastic moment in a heated late-season ACC rivalry game, and the crowd noise alone lets you know what time it is.
Landon Milbourne — Nineteen points overall and [...]
Paulus Slaps That Floor Just Like Wojo
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009And people from Duke wonder why everyone hates them.
Right now it’s 34-34 at the half, which means this game is just a little more competitive than the last one.
