Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3518548, member: 6485"] I was living in Greensboro in 1999 when Duke upset UT. I watched it from my house and was in total shock at the outcome. I immediately developed a like for Gail G and what she was doing. I drove over to Cameron a few times and watched them play a few times. It is the best place I've ever watched a basketball game and the campus is sublime. Granted it's incredibly expensive and I know for a fact my grades and test scores weren't good enough to get accepted but I definitely enjoyed being in the area. I remember being surprised when Duke lost to Rutgers in what would be Goestenkors last game as coach. She seemingly made a good decision to leave for Austin and I figured she would be succesful. JPM didn't seem like a bad hire at the time as she had a great FF run just before then. She seemed like a good match on the surface but safe to say she's underachieved significantly, especially when you consider all the talent she had in those early seasons. The program has drifted, not fallen off a cliff, but it seems like it's been forever since Duke was in the running for top recruits I definitely think they have the potential to be Stanford like for the East but for whatever reason it hasn't happened. I no longer live in NC but was originally planning to visit again in the fall and see a friend (hopefully we can still get together) but I do wish Duke would make a solid run at a top flight coach and stop accepting the middle of the pack status they have currently inherited.
