Dukeghazi - Just What's Going On With the Duke Williams Situation and What Are the Possibilities?

What's the latest? What might happen? Where do we go from here? Why is the sun orange and the sky blue?

It seems like everyone erroneously uses "-gate" at the end of anything describing any sort of scandal or big story, nowadays. Auburn has a "-gate" in the past with the 2003 "Jetgate." Why is this an erroneous use? Well, because it all originated with the Watergate situation with President Nixon. It wasn't a scandal over a water issue, but rather revolved around the name of an actual location. The Watergate Hotel in Washington DC.

WarRoomEagle was the first to point out on Twitter this morning that we should be thankful no one has used "Dukegate" yet for the Duke Williams situation, and, of course, someone else suggested "Dukeghazi" as an alternative.
