Before I'd root for Duke in the Final Four, I would rather...

An old time comedian used that comaparson when talking about the Yankees of the 1950s.

 

Rooting for Duke is like rooting for the Taliban. ;D

 

....change the channel.

It's just a basketball game.

 

. . . root for Indiana in ANY NCAA Tournament game.

Seriously, absolutely no problem with Duke. Wish my school had a 24-year run of success half as good as the Blue Devils have had under Coach K.

 

I think we all wish that. That why we hate them. ;D

 

... go apartment hunting with IJAG

 

Mirror IJAG's attention is grabbed by the sublime performance of the Duke Blue Devils, even though she does not yet watch college basketball.

 

Wow. That's weird that you found someone who looks EXACTLY like me!

Way back in 1950, James Murray penned an article under the headline, "I Hate the Yankees," in Life magazine. "For my money," Murray wrote, "the Yankees were and are super-champions for the same reasons General Motors or U.S. Steel or Standard Oil are super businesses."

This generated a long series of gag lines, like "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for General Motors."

 

Mirror IJAG watches the Blue Devils fall to UNLV, and begins to wonder if they will ever win that elusive national title.
