(as if you needed) another reason to hate duke:
Duke vs. Maryland
Cameron Indoor Stadium
Wednesday, January 26, 20005
The Basics
-We welcome Maryland to town. They defeated us last year in the
championship game of the ACC Tournament, but now it's time for
redemption. -Recently, Maryland's student fans have been getting
nationally berated for thier crass and crude behavior (you might
remember being able to
here* (yes, that is how they spelled it) their taunts of "F-You, J.J."
on television at the Duke Maryland game in College Park last year, and
a couple of years before that when their fans threw trash at the Duke
bench resulting in Carlos Boozer's mom receiving a concussion). This is
our chance to distinguish ourselves from them, so lets's be creative
but classy. -Cameron should never EVER be quiet. During timeouts,
stoppages, halftime, etc.. do something. Make up cheers. Make noise. IF
you are behind Maryland's bench, make all kinds of noise during their
timeouts. We're on national television. Prove again that we are the
best fanis in the country. Period.
THE NO, NO'S...
-DJ Strawberry is entirely off-limits, NO EXCEPTIONS. Just don't go
there. We're classier than that. -Cameron Security has asked us to
remind you not to bring, food, drink, or bags into the stadium.
THE DIRT ON OUR OPPONENT -UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND TERRAPINS - Fodder for
your cheering creativity -Although he is no longer on the team, taunts
concerning the ugliness of Steve Blake are still acceptable
-Maryland likes to think they're our rival, but our rival is Carolina.
Don't forget the staple chants of "Not our rival!" or "We're not
rivals!"
-Maryland uses the slogan "Fear the turtle" but we prefer "Smear the
turtle"
-To drwaw distinctions between us and Maryland, we can chant "We don't
riot" or "We don't throw stuff"
-The UMD Head Coach is Gary Williams: he tends to sweat, a lot. The
standard chant is "Sweat Gary, Sweat!" (Two years ago he was so angered
by this chant that he flicked off the student section)
-If (when) Gary gets angry and red in the face, we can chant "Gary needs
a hug!"
We can point to Coach K and say "Sure" and then to Gary and say "Unsure"
For Maryland's midnight madness, Gary drove out to center court in a
NASCAR race car. We could chant "Where's your racecar?"
#22 - Nik Caner-Medley: Was recently arrested in Portland Maine for
drunk and disorderly conduct. According to the newspaper: "Caner-Medley
was there, yelling, said Lt. Malloch, reading from the plice port. He
took his shirt off and threatened to assault (the complainant).
(Caner-Medley's) friends were trying to restrain him. He was intoxicated
and made a statement, "I'm from Maryland and nobody can beat me."
-NCM's girlfriend is named Myra, and her pet name for him is "Piggy"
-NCM was arrested at a bar called "The Old Port" and is prohibited from
returning
-A previous cheer we've used for NCM is "Three names, no game!"
-NCM's major is "Letters and Sciences"
#11 - John Gilcrist: Gilchrist and Gary have been having personal
problems recently (steming from Gilchrist''s desire to leave early for
the NBA). Gilchrist has also been having academic issues.
#13 - Chris McCray: Second in the ACC in free-throw shooting percentage
behind J.J. ("J.J's still better"
#23 - Mike Jones: heavily hyped player out of high school, but hasn't
lived up to the hype and is very sensitive about it. Lots of talk
surrounding him about transferring. Very sensitive to the media talk and
internet message boards.
