Heard this line on the practice tee at my golf club (which is way overpopulated with old turtles wearin' them red hats):

"There's an identity problem in the ACC. Virginia and Carolina both want to be Duke, but Maryland just wants to be Virginia."

You say that Duke fans sometimes get out of line. That wouldn't be surprising; most college students do that to some extent. However, I have never read editorials in major newspapers urging a crackdown on vulgar and obscene chants by Duke fans at basketball games. And I don't recall reading about the State Attorney General's office having to address formally the authority of Duke's administration to ban obscene signs and T-shirts. Can't say the same about Maryland, unfortunately. You guys need to clean up your act before criticizing others.

There is a difference between chanting, "Duck Fuke!" and chanting, "Crack-baby" or "Aids-Baby" to individual players.

BTW, I agree that Maryland needs to crack down on that type of behavior and I do not or did not go to UMD.
