YouTube buried treasure of the week: 1995 - Jerry Stackhouse dunks on 9300 nerds
Welcome to the newest feature here on this idiotic blog, as if an infrequently updated blog with virtually no readers needs new features.
Every week, I'll be posting some relatively obscure video that resides in my YouTube favorites folder.
As Duke and North Carolina get set to renew their rivalry on Saturday, I thought it would be appropriate to look back on one of my favorite moments from that long-running feud.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that I was a Duke fan back in 1995, like many of my fellow white suburban pricks. Given my heterosexuality and incredible handsomeness, actually attending Duke was out of the question as I failed to meet their primary criteria for admission. As such, my Duke fanhood ended and I came to hate Duke with every fiber of my being, just like everyone else with a soul.
Now that that's out of the way, let's all laugh at Cherokee Parks and the other four clowns Duke had on the floor for Stackhouse's display of awesomeness. Parks is joined by Eric Meek, Trajan Langdon, that little runt Wojo and the incredibly obnoxious Chris Collins. In case you've forgotten, this was a Duke team so horrible that Mike Krzyzewski suffered from a case of "exhaustion" and petitioned the NCAA to dump the team's horrible record on longtime assistant Pete Gaudet rather than have his coaching record besmirched by a laughable 2-14 ACC season.
The Tar Heels, meantime, were loaded with talent. Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace were the primary weapons, and were joined by sharp-shooter Donald Williams, and Jeff McInnis, who (rumor has it) spent his leisure time nailing the wife of Carolina assistant coach and legend Phil Ford. They would eventually reach the Final Four in Seattle, before losing to the defending champion Arkansas Razorbacks in the national semis.
As it turned out, this game would go down in history as one of the best between Duke and Carolina, with Jeff Capel's desperation three forcing a second overtime, where the vastly superior Tar Heels finally prevailed.
