THIS MAN SUCKS AT HIS JOB....Jim Satalin, Syracuse HOFer, Dukes Head Coach 82-89, Director of A-10 Officials, Molestor of Collies, and off-spring of Joseph Stalin and Satan.
I will say this and only this about the Dukes year/final game:
1) The Dukes blew the game. Had chances to win. Didn't execute when they had to. Three possesions after being tied with less than a minute left: Turnover, turnover, bad shot to end the game. Lots of missed front end 1-1's
2) The refs blew, period: How convenient an overturned call goes against the Dukes in the final minute mere hours after Bluff Divers exposed an anti-Duquesne conspiracy. Bet Jim "stalin + satan =" Satalin is smiling somewhere. Please see the Q/A below to know what I am talking about.
3) How nice and tidy it is for the A-10 to have a La Salle vs. Temple match up in the second round. That has to be just a coincidence, right? That couldn't be the league with three teams in Philly wanting to increase attendance, local t.v. revenue, and gambling $, could it? Put your money on an all philly final!
4) I am glad I was unable to watch or listen to the game due to my countless devotion to my ethnic heritage. Thanks for the text messages and updates Bluto and Chancellor. I am considering having you both as guest posters.
5) It was all in all a decent year and I think we have a lot to look forward to next season. We will continue to get an easier schedule (traditionally good teams only once) and we bring a lot of talent back and in with a solid recruiting class.
6) This is only the second year in my lifetime, other than when I was an infant, that I can actually say the Dukes were winners... just not of any close games.
7) I said it a long time ago on a Dukes message board, this season is eerily similar to 93-94...not just in records. So many close losses in that NIT season that could have been.
8) The late season swoon brings Everhart back for at least 2 more years. The 2008 team will be mostly all his players and, more importantly, 3 full classes. He needs to show that he can win close games and take a team to the tourney with those players.
9) LET"S GO DUKES
10) Bluff Divers will be in FULL FORCE for the 08-09 campaign

I thought only Judge Smails molested collies, but I guess I was wrong!
I didn't have a problem with the refs in this game, yes we got jobbed on that one call, but we actually had a few calls go our way tonight too. The Dukes lost this game with their back to back turnovers in the final minute.
Without a doubt the Dukes had every chance to win the game at the end and did not execute...despite the poor officiating...until next year. Its a re-occuring theme I hope is not indicative of RE teams. Twenty wins plus has to be the goal...
