Duke's Brodhead fires back! (Sorta)

Bookmark and Share

It's on, now.

As you may recall, UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp stirred the pot something fierce this morning, calling out Duke University and its Krzyzewskiville tent city in the tweet you see below.

Subtle, huh?

Now, Duke President Richard Brodhead isn't on Twitter. But he's also apparently reluctant to let Thorp's gameday taunt stand unaddressed.

So here's his response, which just arrived in my in-box.

"Hey Holden, someone hacked your Twitter account to talk trash. May the best team win. From the land of TRUE Blue, Dick. "

Sounds like they want in on the fun......More power to them both.

and Chanc Thorp replied to the reply ....

Chanc Thorp has since retracted his original comment.   "Tweeting" is a very dangerous vocation for high profile individuals.   :>)
