Eh, the gap between Notre Dame and Duke is about as wide as the Gap between Duke and Harvard. Alums of all three tend to either be underwhelming or insufferable. Sometimes both.

Coach Cal is actually a good coach, even Xs and Os and strategy, but quietly is the bball version of Les Miles/Andy Ried. He sucks in late game strategy. Three straight shot clock violations late against Wisconsin for instance. The Memphis/Kansas game is hard to blame on him too much because his guys just choked at…

It’s honestly unbelievable. I feel like UNC is R. Kelly and the NCAA is Dave Chapelle.

I’m just saying that unless you live in a cave you realize this is bucking a tradition. I’d understand righteous indignation or anger, but confusion in this case is a sign of ignorance. If you honestly can’t even contemplate that even a single man expects his wife to take his name (which is still the overwhelmingly…

Understandable. Is men not considering changing their names really the hill to die on? Fewer men do that than there are women who don’t expect/demand a diamond engagement ring - what are your thoughts on the expectations surrounding that 40-80 year-old tradition?

Yes

Duke is more hated than Kentucky. I’ve heard a lot of people say things to the effect of “never thought I’d be rooting for Kentucky to go undefeated, but after Duke beat Michigan State...”

Yeah, but that also demonstrates that there’s at least one coach more contemptible than Coach K.

So the fact that Duke seems to have a Houdini-like ability to avoid NCAA violations has nothing to do with it?See Maggette, Duhon, Lance Thomas.

To be fair he said Brooks was too good to do that stuff. Grayson folded like a lawn chair against any good defender all year.

Were you confused or “confused?” Because it’s not a confusing question, even if perhaps it should be. Like if someone asks “do your parents care you are dating an Asian/white/black person?” You don't need an abacus to figure out where they are coming from.

Why does that bother you. Do you need others to agree with you in order to feel validated? Seems like this is one of those “none of your fucking business” issues.

Last to gfs would have led to Mr. M and Mr. Wisconsin. Could be a lot worse I guess.

Hahaha, marriage is nothing but a series of a sacrifices for everyone involved. The first one, unless you have parents helping, is shelling out thousands or tens of thousands of dollars you don’t have for a big party. Oh wait, the first one might be spending a bunch of money on a rock of little or no practical use.

The war is over, sanity lost

When you start commenting on the Internet, you are implicitly requesting thoughts from strangers. Sure those thoughts are worth less than the paper they are written on, but you are asking for it nonetheless.

I never said there weren't also instances of criticism of name-keepers. Go pick that fight with someone else.

Elitist is shorthand for arrogance with pride, if you don’t like the word there is probably a different reason than the one you provided

Like when that shithead Mike Brown died, I waited 2 whole days before making jokes about how he should have stolen running shoes instead of Swisher Sweets, and yet I'm the asshole?
