This is My (Non) Sporting Life, my blog post about sports from a guy who does not know much about sports.
I don't know about sports and I don't care about sports.
Well, normally I don't care.
But...
In the previous match up between the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tarheels, Duke was a rompin' and a stompin' for 39 minutes but games are 40 minutes and thanks to a literal last second 3 pointer by Seth Trimble, Carolina won the game.
Well... so what?
I'm the guy who does not know much about sports and also does not care.
So big deal. Carolina won. What do I care?
But...
Going into last night rematch at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, I had to admit.... I did care!
VENGEANCE DOTH BELONGETH TO THE BLUE DEVILS SAYETH ME!!
Duke needed to win this thing!
WIN, DAMN YOU! WIN!!!!!
<ahem> Sorry about that.
I should mention that my quest for vengeance was taking place in the belly of the metaphorical beast.
We were watching the game with Andrea's dad at his house.
As I have written before, Andrea is deeply, truly and passionately a Carolina fan.
A sentiment shared by her father.
And I'm going to sit across from them in his home and cheer for Duke?
Damn straight I will!
And vengeance belonged to the Blue Devils.
No. 1 Duke beat No. 17 North Carolina 76-61.
A 15 point margin of victory that was actually wider at earlier points the game.
This was a good ol' Fashioned Duke Blue ass whuppin'!
Game super stars Maliq Brown and Cameron Boozer.
So yay team!
And I feel better now.
Which is weird and I don't get it.
It's not like I went to Duke or know anyone who went to Duke or even have money on the game or anything else that might be relevant.
Now...
Can I go back to not caring about sports?
Caring about sports is so exhausting!
