Around Azeroth: The championship factory
In a secret basketball shrine deep beneath Cameron Indoor Stadium, Mike Krzyzewski uses his laser beam to turn another leper gnome into a forward for the Duke Blue Devils. Sadly, the gamma radiation wears off before any of the experimental subjects can obtain success in the NBA. (This screenshot brought to you by Aelyras of Bloodhoof and my own semi-irrational hatred of Duke basketball.)

Hatred of Duke basketball is in no way irrational.

I never thought I could love this site more, but anti-Duke sentiment puts the cherry on top!
Go Heels!

See also the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys(?), Red Wings(?)...

It's okay, people like to hate on the best. And for you Heels fans... NIT failure ring a bell? Maybe you can see the promised land again if you get Hansbaby to come back as a grad student. I'm also expecting hatred against my Cowboys as well given my name, but most people can't talk because they probably cheer for the Lions, or worse, the Redskins...

Funny, this makes me think about Professor Farnsworth and his Nuclear Atomic Supermen. Well. They're mere superboys, really. Who wants to go gather some chronotons?

Basketball meh.
Wake me up for hockey game between the Stormwind Pumpkins and the Undercity Dead Things.
Tony Romo Sep 4th 2010 8:01PM
Why does the Undercity Dead Things sounds like it came from Mutant League Hockey/Football for the Sega Genesis?

That's what I was going for.
Desfarten of the Cadavers (Eric Desjardins of the Montreal Canadiens) I still remember that one.
