Duke Sucks: A Completely Evenhanded, Unbiased Investigation into the Most Evil Team on Planet Earth Description
In the ranks of NCAA college basketball, Duke University is like something scraped off the bottom of a shoe. It’s like a nasty virus you catch from a door handle at a public toilet.
No team in sports is as uniquely hated as those smug, entitled, floor-slapping, fist-pumping, insufferable Blue Devils. The loathing has almost reached the level of a religion. Christian Laettner is a punk. Amen. The Cameron Crazies are obnoxious. The Plumlees are worthless times three. Coach K is a jerk. Kumbaya.
The team is dogged by an intense hatred that no other team can match—and for good reason. Millions of hoops fans and March Madness aficionados around the world are not imagining things. Duke really is evil, and within the pages of Duke Sucks, Reed Tucker and Andy Bagwell show readers exactly why Duke deserves to be so detested. They bruise and batter the Blue Devils with fact after fact, story after story, statistic after statistic. They build an airtight case that could stand up in a court of law.
So sit back in your "I Hate Duke" t-shirt, and in true Duke fashion, force someone poorer than you to do your work as you crack open the ultimate guide to Duke suckitude.

I am not from North Carolina, nor have I ever been there. Rather, I was turned to this book by a friend who is from North Carolina. I opened this book with an open mind, not sure what to expect.
When I originally picked up this book, I figured it would be a fun read and I would be filled with a little laughter. Instead, I was filled with hate. I honestly don't know how I am supposed to do this review without breaking the Amazon.com review guidelines.
In this book, the alumni of Duke University come across as brain-dead zombies. Trapped in a world of group think, unable to stand on their own mentally. You can view their zombie like behavior during any televised Duke game (home game). Just listen as they make primal, unintelligible sounds while mindlessly hopping about. Watch, as they claw for the brains of the opposing players. Clawing, hoping, wishing for brains of their own (see page 140 of the book). They also paint their bodies blue, which makes them look like old, cold corpses. This is done to help them embody their zombie nature. It is no surprise that their team is coached by the much hated Coach K (King Rat). He is able to blend into the zombie filled arena unnoticed as zombies only desire the flesh of humans. Any normal, human, coach would have been assimilated into the zombie mob long ago. The King Rat is the only person err... thing that can coach a home game and live to tell about it.
The book also portrays Duke University and the people of its ilk as spoiled, whinny, douche like, as well as many other things. However, only one word comes to mind after everything I've learned from Tucker and Bagwell. Trash! These people are just trashy.
