Re: Goodbye Carrick Felix, we hardly knew ye!
All the stories about Felix refer to him as Coach K's "first juco recruit." Wasn't Roshon McLeod a juco grad who came to Duke? Help me out here, people...I love to prove the media wrong!!!

Cameron Indoor Facelift

It's charming in its old age, but unlike some old-and-charming sports venues -- Wrigley Field immediately comes to mind -- Cameron is actually in good enough shape that you don't feel gross when you go. Th...

I've watched his dad and his brother play. I'll bet Seth is "the real deal," too, and he will light up any arena....especially Cameron Indoor Stadium!!!

You should never, ever lurk in the background when it comes to compositional and orthographical missteps.

Re: Allow me to play a bit of Devil's Advocate
What Duke will "look like" next year is whatever kind of team Coach K puts together! I look for a three-guard configuration, but, hey, I'm going to leave all that up to the one who put together this year's team with changes and changes and changes! That's why Mike is the coach and I am the devoted f...
