Florida State Upsets No. 1 Duke


Yesterday, Drive and Dish returned to posting about basketball (sort of) when we explained why we didn't run a blog post predicting a Penn State upset win over No. 16 Illinois, despite the fact that we expected Penn State to win. It's become routine for Penn State to upset Illinois. It happens almost every year. Illinois may have been heavily favored to win Tuesday night's game, but Penn State has had Illinois' number over the years.

Similarly, the mighty Duke basketball program has been upended by unheralded Florida State several times in recent years. Just as Illinois always seems to struggle when they play at Penn State, Duke seems to struggle when they're ranked No. 1 and they play Florida State on the road in Tallahassee. Florida St. upset a top-ranked Duke team in 2002 and upset another top-ranked Duke team in 2006. We never, however, imagined that Duke would have trouble with Florida State this year. Given Duke's previously unblemished record, season-long No. 1 ranking (obviously, having a No. 1 ranking doesn't mean that a team is unbeatable; we cite Duke's No. 1 ranking only because Duke has been the clear No. 1 team this year), and seeming clear superiority over all other teams in college basketball this year, we figured that coach Mike Krzyzewski's Blue Devils would take the Seminoles out pretty easily this time.

We were wrong.

Florida State upset Duke 66-61.

The loss won't set Duke back much, if at all. In fact, it may not be a bad thing that Duke got the "undefeated" monkey off their backs in the second week of January. They won't have to slog through their ACC intra-conference schedule with the added pressure of trying to be the first team to go undefeated since Bob Knight's 1976 Indiana Hoosiers. They weren't going to go undefeated anyway. Nobody does that in today's game. Now they can stay entirely focused on winning the conference, winning the ACC Tournament, and winning the NCAA title.

Anonymous, all that crap you talked about is weird. None of it is ok. WTF!

Cindy said...

I realize this does not pertain to basketball. I have been trying to get a hold of a Dr. Rockso.

Dear Dr. Rockso,

I really like your posts. In fact, they crack me up. You seem like a guy with a great sense of humor. I have tried to get a hold of you, but haven't found the right way. Anyway, you seem totally like the gentleman I am looking for educated, funny, and cultured. I am a SWF Blond, 34, 5'7, Nurse, in good shape. I do understand the rigors of practicing medicine. My hobbies include sports like basketball, cooking, art, my cat Henrietta, and spending time with friends. I would really love to meet you sometime! Please respond with your e-mail address and I will send you some pics.

Hugs,

Cindy

Dear Children of Drive and Dish,

I am deeply concerned about your behavior on the internet. Your mothers and fathers would not approve of your foul language and lude behavior.

One final offer for a chance to attend a retreat at our parish. We strongly urge you to take it. Please write your address and our church van will bring to our parish at no cost. We are trying to show you a better light, a better high.

If I do not see improvements in your behavior, I will have no choice but to contact your parents, school, and authorities.
I do not want to resort to this but feel as if I have no choice.

Sincerely,

Sister Therese

Maaan, how yall 'goin put Golf Mill Ford and Victory Auto Wrekers videos up in here and not show some love for the community, especially on MLK day. Put a damn Moo & Oink video up in this muthaf***a!!

Yall need to establish some community outreach, otherwise I'd hate to see the community boycott your site. You can call the main number at Operation Push during business hours and maybe we can work out an amicable agreement in terms of financial compensation. I wouldn't want to see anything bad happen if you didn't.

Oh, and one more thang...... here's a classic Moo & Oink commercial

how come you put up beavis and butthead's 'couch fishing'??? the best b & b short ever made was their original film, titled 'frog baseball.' frog baseball debuted at the mike & spike animated film festival in 1992 and ran one time on mtv's liquid television. later that year, mtv turned beavis and butthead into a series.

frog baseball's minimalism -- both in animation style and in conteng -- and shock value (remember, prior to beavis & butthead, ren & stimpy was the only mainstream degenerate cartoon) is what set it apart. the characters of beavis and butthead are totally undeveloped in frog baseball. even their iconic voices haven't yet taken shape.

Dr. Rockso said...

Hey Cindy the Nurse.....I'm Dr. Rockso, the rock n' roll clown.....I do cocaine! Dr. Rockso c-c-c-don't like it when his c-c-c-real name gets out to the c-c-c-public. But since you c-c-c-gonna be sendin' Dr. Rockso oxycontin in the mail, Dr. Rockso's real is Leonard Rockstein. Here's Dr. Rockso's Wikipedia entry:

"Dr. Rockso is a self-described "rock and roll clown." He is known for his frequent use of cocaine, excessive lifestyle, and his catchphrase: "I do cocaine!". He admits in "Cleanzo" that not only does he use cocaine, but also huffs paint, uses crystal meth, heroin, pain pills, and OxyContin before stating, "I do it all." Dr. Rockso's real name is Leonard Rockstein; the hyperactive son of a physical therapist. Rockso began his music career as the lead singer of Zazz Blammymatazz, a partying glam-rock band named after the guitarist, Bink Bonk Blammymatazz. The logo of Zazz Blammymatazz is a stylized parody of Van Halen's logo. The band quickly became successful; however, Rockso insisted on being paid in cocaine, and was fired for his violent and erratic behavior. After a short-lived solo career, he began his present life working as a clown for parties.

Rockso talks in a high-pitched voice, which every member of Dethklok except Toki finds irritating. He wears a very tight neon unitard with cutouts that expose almost his entire torso and, in the back, the top of his buttcrack. The rest of his outfit includes a combination cap, long, thick, brightly-colored hair, KISS-like face paint, spiky wristbands, furry boots, and a spiky red nose. The colors of his clothing and hair change between episodes, but are always gaudy and fluorescent.[15][20] It is suggested that he is a ephebophile; he was once arrested for having sexual relations with a minor.

Rockso seems to be a parody of various events and persons. According to Brendon Small, Dr. Rockso was supposed to be an amalgam of every kind of front man from the hard-rock era, including Paul Stanley, Axl Rose, and Bret Michaels. Eventually the animators made him resemble David Lee Roth."


When Dr. Rockso gets that gmail account set up, Dr. Rockso gonna leave a c-c-c-comment so that Cindy the c-c-c-nurse can send Dr. Rockso some prescription meds. Dr. Rockso's gonna crush up them OxyContin pills and put em up Dr. Rockso's clown nose.

Hey Dr. Rockso :)

Love the Wikipedia entry!! Axel Rose was my first crush *blush* Quite creative you are. You haven't sent your e-mail address. I'd love to figure out if you're a true rocker or just a quick opening act ;) A real rocker has his own staff to fulfill his "medical needs." So if you're ready to jam, send me that gmail address ;)

Hugs,

huh! The basketball blog organizer is Dr. Rockso?!?!? What a sham! I had higher hopes!

Dr. Rockso said...

C-c-c-LILLY......I'm Dr. Rockso the Rock n' Roll clown. I do cocaaaiiine!! Dr. Rockso gets drug money from playin' shows (doin' birthday parties). Here's a video clip of Dr. Rockso performin' at Murderface's birthday party a few c-c-c-years ago. Dr. Rockso gonna call your c-c-c-mommy's number so's that Dr. Rockso can c-c-c-get that date booked up and get some more money for c-c-c-cocaine!!

How soon's your birthday party gonna be?? Dr. Rockso needs that money ASAP, baby, know what I mean!!

Dr. Rockso said...

C-c-c-Cindy........You get your comments up faster than Dr. Rockso hoovers up a couple fat lines of c-c-c-cocaiiine, baby. Dr. Rockso gotta use other peoples' c-c-c-email addresses rite now cause Dr. Rockso aint got an email address yet. Dr. Rockso don't got a computer rite now. Dr. Rockso been livin in a car for the last 2 weeks after Dr. Rockso spent his rent money on cocaine. Dr. Rockso been usin' Toki Wartooth's laptop and his Norwegian email address for the last year, but Toki aint been answerin' his phone tonight. He's probly asleep. So Dr. Rockso got the punk computer hacker kids who hang out in front of the 7-11 and always pay Dr. Rockso money to buy beer for em (guess what Dr. Rockso spends the money on......Cocaiiine!!) to hack into the driveanddish@gamil.com email account that's listed on this page so that Dr. Rockso can make money (guess what for....cocaine) using other people's email addresses as spam-bots. Dr. Rockso was in the drive and dish account when Dr. Rockso tried to sign in to leave comments with Dr. Rockso's 'blogger.com' profile. But Dr. Rockso messed up, man, and didn't get Dr. Rockso's name signed in the rite way' b4 Dr. Rockso hit the 'leave comment' button. Dr. Rockso's comment went up with the C-C-C-Drive and Dish peoples' names on it cause Dr. Rockso c-c-ccan't control his hands rite now. Dr. Rockso's whole body been havin convulsions from doin too cocaiiine tonight!! C-c-c-gonna get an ambulance and go to the emergency room before Dr. Rockso passes out. Gonna get a hot ER nurse to sneak Dr. Rockso some OxyContin samples!!!

You kknow what I do baby, and I did too much of it tonite. C-c-c-ocaaaiiine!!!

Sister Therese said...

Young man Dr. Rocks,

It is a SHAME to see you even near young children. You are a horrible influence and a degenerate to society. I have extended my helping hand to you and you have rejected it. You leave me with no further choice than to contact the POLICE!
You refuse help and continue to show disrespect.

Sincerely,

Butler Bob,

Good to see that you're alive and well. Does Bertha Jenny still have a thing for Mark Buckets?

Sister Therese,

Thank you for frequent visits to this site. Your concern for the Drunk Idiot, Dr. Rockso and the other lost children of Drive and Dish serves as a good example for us all. You seem to care more about them than they care about themselves. May you stay in good health and continue to fight to bring light into the world for years to come.

Dr. Rockso,

Drive and Dish has always tolerated your rambling, cocaine-fueled comments, but you crossed a line when you hacked into our email account. Our legal department is now involved in reviewing your illegal use of our account, and law enforcement has been made aware of the situation. Better make sure you don't have cocaine on your person when they pay you a customary friendly visit.

Lionel Richie Forever said...

You should give him a column on Drive and Dish. Dr. Rockso is the shizznizzle! He can do it like nobody else can. Keep on rockin' Dr. Rockso! Don't let no stupid nun or any bureaucracy keep you from jammin.

Dr. Rockso,

Look, I find you really creative and funny. However, I don't want to play games either. Either you send me a gmail account - which you can easily set up in the time it takes to "hack" - or we go our separate ways. I would really love to meet you sometime. However, I need to know how you are feeling about everything. We're no longer in High School so I really believe we can communicate openly and honestly.

Blogpeople: I realize this doesn't pertain to basketball - my apologies.

VLADISLAV VLAJIĆ said...

U rodnom Brazilu je udisao miris mora, kafe i nastupajućeg karnevala, a u Srbiji se suočio sa maglom, zimskom garderobom i čajem posle treninga. Okružen pozitivnim vibracijama i sa uobičajenim osmehom na licu, Gabrijel Kleo je juče pre podne ušetao u „Zemunelo”, u nameri da odradi prvi kompletan radni dan po povratku u drugu domovinu. Na prvi po-gled - ko bi rekao da je reč o čoveku na čiju adresu zbog fudbalskog umeća stižu milion-ske ponude?!
Jesenas strelac 20 golova za crno-bele, kreator plasmana u Ligu šampiona i jedini egzeku-tor u najelitnijem takmičenju, zadužio je opremu od ekonoma Radeta, pomoćnika legen-darnog Gavrana i sa kapom i u šuškavcu izašao iz klupske zgrade i uputio se ka terenu. Uobičajeno javljanje predstavnicima sedme sile i radnicima koji održavaju Partizanovo ve-lelepno zdanje, a onda pažljivo saslušan plan rada šefa Aleksandra Stanojevića, početno zagrevanje i dril kondicionog trenera Dejana Ilića. Kleo je počeo da se sprema za ono što najviše voli i za šta je majstor – postizanje golova!
- Važno je da sam se priključio timu. Očekujem da nastavimo u dobrom ritmu, s kraja pro-šle sezone. Minule godine smo osvojili titulu i plasirali se u Ligu šampiona, sada sve to moramo da ponovimo – zadihano je izgovorila Partizanova „devetka” nakon sedam pretr-čanih kilometara i povremenih provera pulsa.
- Da li ste bili u stanju da se kvalitetno odmorite, kada mediji neprestano bruje o va-šem odlasku, pominju banknote sa sedam cifara i poslodavce od Kine do Đenove?
- Stvarno ne znam šta da vam kažem, sve sam to video na sajtovima, ali nijedan papir i po-nudu nemam u rukama. Mislima sam samo u Partizanu!
- Nije isključeno da još šest meseci provedete u Humskoj?
- Ako ostanem, želim da osvojimo duplu krunu i da se ponovo plasiramo u Ligu šampiona. Imam i lične ciljeve - da postignem što više golova i pomognem timu u ostvarenju ambici-ja.
- Na tom putu najveća prepreka će vam biti Crvena zvezda, a očekuju vas čak tri utakmice sa večitim rivalom?
- Još nisam izgubio meč od crveno-belih i želim da uvećam taj odličan skor – naglasio je brazilski napadač, uz napomenu da će mu biti potrebna još dva dana da se aklimatizuje na uslove u glavnom gradu Srbije.
Da li će se na stadionu u Humskoj i na proleće čuti glas spikera: „Gol, gol, gol” i otegnuto: „Kleverson – Kordova – Kleo”?

Златко said...

Црвена звезда се имбецил! Ми смо већа сила у фудбалу. Немате шансу против нас ове сезоне. Партизан је ембаррасемент да се великој нацији Србија у Лиги шампиона. Тимови са Кипра играли боље. Наша нова генерација ће поврати године слави тридесет година! Црвена звезда у све векове!

Marjorie Wilson said...

Dr. Rockso, I'm a friend of Cindy's involved in Event Planning. She's told me all about you, so I had to check out this "basketball" blog. We'd be interested in talking to you about a comedy event you'd get to speak at. There's dinner involved as well. You'd have to cover your own transportation expenses. Hopefully that won't be an issue, wink wink. Hopefully that'll get you to set up that gmail account, lol.
