Do we go after St. Francis? I wish the Red Flash the best, but trashing Thuggins is much more fun.

Don't let the trolls get to you and don't let it drive you away from this board. Any let the rest of us use our brains to express a constructive critique without thinking we hate Duquesne.

For example... RE is the best coach the Dukes have had since the 60's, but I still think that he has an ineffective use to use anybody over 6'9". Shawn and Keiron were not used to their best potential. Both could run, both could block shots and both could shoot and rebound. They were seldom used together and when they were it didn't click.

Actually, most of the trolls who come here are not Pitt or Bobby Mo fans, but Duquesne "fans", who are just trying to stir up trouble on the board. There were some Penn State trolls around here about a year ago though. (NT) -- duq81, Sunday, August 15, 12:40:34pm
- I will be leading a large contingent of NJ and Lehigh Valley fans to Happy Valley in December. Would love to chat with wome of those folks after the Dukes crush the Lions. (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, August 15, 12:48:40pm
  - If you are indeed leading a contingent from the LV, keep me informed. I would love to participate. (NT) -- TMH, Sunday, August 15, 01:44:35pm
    - I will communicate the plans regularly on this board. I plan to contact DU to engage the athletic department so we can all sit together. Got a half dozen "signed up" so far. If we get enough folks together, I will personally lead the Mossie cheer. (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, August 15, 06:22:28pm
      - I'll likely be coming in from the Burgh, job and weather permitting. I'd love to meet up before, during, or after with you guys. I'd love it if they could get a DU section for all DU fans, from LV, Pittsburgh, wherever. Keep us posted. (NT) -- Rogabee, Sunday, August 15, 06:40:55pm
        I'll be coming up from DC (NT) -- Slim, Monday, August 16, 10:23:41am
