HBO filmed a special on the UNC-Duke rivalry. Looks like it will be pretty good, not that I will see it given that I don’t get HBO.

Update: The best line in the whole trailer is the Duke fan saying:

“I would root for the minions of hell before I would root for Carolina.”

Interesting. I thought rooting for Duke was rooting for the “minions of hell.”

I’ll be at the premiere at the Carolina Theatre in Durham this Sunday thanks to Bomani Jones and my boy Alex. I’ll sneak in a video camera and hook you up with a bootleg, THF.

I just got free HBO for three months from DirecTV for moving of all things. Good timing, I guess.

Looks interesting. I’ve got HBO but the question is, is it a regional thing?

I can’t wait until the 23rd. I still have HBO for now:) I may cancel it after that. Cable prices are absurd. Go Heels tonight. 15 min till tipoff.

HBO usually gets it right. I like that Dean is in there, too! What’s up with Laettner saying he got “bloodied up a few times”? Also, Laettner’s shot at the end of the clip…UK 1992, not UNC. Again, nice job Pitino…no defender on the in-bounds pass so that you can have three defenders watch Laettner catch and shoot a free-throw. Pathetic. And I like Pitino.
