Thinking (again) about God and sports: Was the Lord of Hosts cheering for Duke?

“So, did God ignore the prayers of evangelical-Pentecostal hoops fanatics and favor those of the theologically hip, fluid, progressive believers at Duke? Does this score mean that God…was pro-Duke?” - GetReligion

....did the fact that ORU had long dry spells between NCAA tournament appearances cause their students to decide that the theological distinctives of their school were useless? And what does that tell us about the 12-13 BJU Bruins? :^)

I'm as much a fan of Duke losses as anyone--Go Vols!--but this is somewhat silly.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
