There's no off-season in the Duke-UNC rivalry ...

... not when someone's around to record your words on a blog.

That was the case for Roy Williams, who spoke at the coaching clinic of former Tar Heel and current Auburn coach Jeff Lebo. Here's the link to the blog entry.

I can save you some time though and provide the juiciest quote right here:

"In our situation, it's not changing very much because North Carolina is such a good school and the requirements to get in are pretty darned difficult. I don't think any other school in the ACC has as much difficulty as we do getting kids in, even Duke. They talk a big game."

Looks like Roy is talking a pretty big game as well, now. And man, if you ever wanted to get under the skin of a Duke fan, start picking at its reputation as the academic flagship program of the ACC. Make fun of Duke football all you want, label K an egomanical dictator if you wish, but going after the Blue Devils' admissions standards? Them's fightin' words.

Just check out the response by the Duke Basketball Report.
