Subject: Game Day - Dukes @ RM

This should be a good game. Damien is back, and one of the RM players is talking trash. Check out the stories in the local papers. I expect the Dukes to put the pedal to the metal. I do not think RM will have seen as aggressive on the ball defense. Go Dukes!

I wouldnt say he was talking trash, just trying to get under someones skin, and it sounds like it didnt work. I am anxious to see how aggressive DS is tonight. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Friday, November 19, 09:16:22am
Pretty much every game worries me. Last year we trailed the whole game and pulled it out in the last minute I believe. If we struggle at the 3 and at the foul line it will be a tough night. Might be in for a little homecooking also. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Friday, November 19, 10:20:17am
Speaking of home cooking, I distinctly remember four years ago at Sewell. Reggie Jackson made a clean steal and was headed down court on a fast beak for the winning shot when he was called for a foul. He was literally 20 feet past the Bobby Mo guard when the foul was called. That sticks in my throat to this day. (NT) -- kenOTR73, Friday, November 19, 10:29:30am
Can remember it like it was yesterday. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Friday, November 19, 10:33:22am
- I wasn't at the game you mention but still get ticked off when I read the comments about the ref's late call by those who were there. Perhaps the ill-advised pre-game trash talking Velton Jones' comments will further the resolve of the Dukes to whip RM. I hope there will be a lot of Dukes' fans at this game. Note that with the sale of RM's D'town class room bldg. to Duquesne, they will technically no longer be a city of Pittsburgh college. This leads me to ponder: with RM's lack of a physical presence in the city, can the rivalry truly be described as being crosstown? (NT) -- Always a Duke, Friday, November 19, 01:14:02pm
I think this silly Rodney Dangerfield tactic will backfire. Dukes will now approach the game as though Robert Morris is all geeked up about this, and press them all over the floor. I hope they're ready for that. Hard to imagine that Ron would allow his team not to take anyone seriously. We're Duquesne, not Duke. We're still battling to earn respect for ourselves.

- Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I'm actually intrigued and a little excited that anyone is worried about earning our respect. Go Dukes!! (NT) -- ztown, Friday, November 19, 12:15:43pm
While it is still VERY EARLY in the season, this is a game the team must win. They can't afford a slip-up against a team like Bobby Mo if they have aspirations of an ultra successful season ( NIT or NCAA participant). (NT) -- Abdul Rahman, Friday, November 19, 02:13:23pm
