lame.
i still like the stuttering john (jackie martling) question to yaz:
“who’s taken more balls to the chin, yogi berra or rock hudson?”

Sadly, you can’t ask the same question to a Maryland player because one hasn’t tried to take a charge since ‘87.

Terps’ fans are better at burning things than prank calls.

No one takes a charge like a dookie.

Girls always say balls taste better when they’re shaved.

Sliding under the basket when a player is already in the air shouldn’t warrant a charge call and the defensive player deserves balls on his face. Duke’s version of taking a charge is ridiculous. The NCAA really needs to incorporate the “halo” that the NBA uses.

Where were they last month when Duke beat them by 125 points?

Crank calls tend to be kind of lame when it’s just one guy asking a question, followed by a hangup. Like when I was 7 I used to call up people and ask if their refrigerator was running. If they just hung up, it ended up ruining the joke.
One time someone said he was going to find me and kill me and I nearly shyt my pants.

I hope Maryland finds some self respect and shows up tonight against Duke. The beatdown an average Duke team gave them earlier this year was embarrassing.

As a Terps fan I concur, their “effort” earlier this year was an abomination. Hopefully the win over UNC will give them a little confidence going into tonight’s game against Duke.
The crank call might have been a little lame, but at least it wasn’t scripted.

a friend and i used to work in a cemetery during the summer when we were home from college. we would smoke weed before work and during lunch and then make prank phone calls behind the mausoleum.
needless to say that was my favorite summer job ever

I would agree with all that, but one team at least tries to take charges, the other team just watches. I’ll take the team who tries to draw charges any day. The great irony is, the three examples the ‘prank caller’ used…none of them were called charges. So I guess Duke doesn’t get all the calls?

It’s not a charge if you jump clear over the guy trying to undercut you like a pussy.

Love the Georgia and Georgia Tech baseball team battles from last year.

That’s the point, Sterlin…the three examples the writer used to show that Duke gets all the calls, are three examples where Duke DIDN’T GET THE CALL!
Have you seen any of the three moments being discussed? None of them consisted of Paulus undercutting anyone. In all three cases, Paulus, trying to get a charge call, set up too low beneath the basket and got dunked on with balls in his face. In each case (and rightly so), the ref didn’t call a charge.
My point is, I’d rather have my 6-foot guard at least TRY to get a charge (risking balls in his face), than do what Maryland players do – which is nothing. In fact, if the Terps actually tried to play defense, they might have only lost by 30 against the Devils last time.
