Re: What does this mean?

2, 3 and sometimes 4 are also called "wings", and next year our wings will be OUTRAGEOUSLY athletic - Rasheed Sulaimon, Rodney Hood and Jabari Parker. A couple of my insider mavens have been drooling over this combination since long before Parker committed. Ever since Danny Ferry, Duke has utilized...

Re: If Duke does Final Four, will You Travel?

Pretty sure a good contingent of Line Monitors will be there! Of course, this contingent is contingent upon Duke's contingent making the Final 4.

Traditionally: 1 - Point Guard (Quinn) 2 - Shooting Guard (Seth) 3 - Small Forward (Sheed) 4 - Power Forward (Kelly) 5 - Center (Mason) K doesn't typically believe in these "positions", per se, but it's sometimes helpful to think about our team in this way. On this year's team, Sheed is more of a gu...

Definitely started an "ug-ly sweater" chant at the women's game on Sunday for Sylvia. My whiteboard that said "Sylvia Hatchell Gets Dressed In The Dark" did not, unfortunately, make it onto the jumbotron.

Had the honor today...

...to meet none other than General Martin Dempsey, the 18th (and current) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He came by and said hello to the Crazies at the half after we cheered for him in the 1st. What a privilege!

Re: Journalism Today

...the recent court-rushing allegations against UNC and the "How's Your Grandma" controversy have led me to believe that truth is no longer factual — it's a perspective.

Especially when supposedly bad stuff against Duke is concerned.

Re: GO TO HELL carolina! GO TO HELL!

Last night, while walking through Blue Devil Alley about 7:00 pm before the game, approaching K'ville and the thousands of students waiting in line, I thought to myself "Self, you need to lead these people in a cheer!" :9f: When I got properly positioned in front of where "Gameday" should have been...

Re: Vibes Please

My Dad who has a long term catheter developed a urinary tract infection while I was visiting. We saw the urologist and I left him with meds, instructions and looking to hear he was on the road to recovery. Not to be--they just admitted him to the hospital as the infection has moved into his kidneys...

Re: Question for those at game last night, you too Native

I am 100% sure that there was no coordinated effort to organize a "How's Your Grandma" cheer. I present the following facts to the jury: 1) There was no mention of Tyler Lewis' grandmother on the dirt sheet. Consider the people who have lambasted the Crazies in years past for not being knowledgeable...

Will you be staying in Cupertino? Tim Cook, the COO of Apple is a Duke graduate, as you probably already know. I know two Duke grads who are in high tech out there. (One is ExLax.) Let me know if you'd like an introduction. :9f: We'll be staying in Mountain View. And not only Tim Cook — 3 of the to...

Thanks, y'all! To clarify, it's a month-long course in entrepreneurship taught at Apple University at their headquarters. Even cooler, Clay Christensen — world-renowned Harvard economist and the father of former Duke b-baller Matt Christensen — is teaching the course. I've heard rumors that Matt wil...

...and heeeeeeeere's the best part. This was sent to a friend of a friend, so naturally I put it up on the Crazie's Facebook page. Pretty damning evidence that at the end of the day, they're just jockin' on our timeless style.
