1 Day Away...  Go Duke!  #GTHC

We are 1 day away from one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports.  Duke vs Unc.  Plans are still on for us to make the game in Chapel Hill even with the possible weather coming.  This past summer, I was on my way to see a Dave Matthews Band concert in Charlotte but somehow (for a friend's request) made a stop at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill.  Next thing I know, I'm taking a tour of the UNC locker room and basketball facilities.   I realized one thing...I must reenact the Rivers shot!!!  However, there was a camp going on in the Dean Dome.  I thought I was out of luck, till I walked in the UNC Basketball Museum.  There it was... a half court set up inside the museum for me to reenact the Rivers shot.  I had watched the video several times off my DVR the night before of the game with the Rivers buzzer beater.  I knew where the exact spot was.  I set up for the shot and had a friend take the pic.  I left the Dean Dome that summer day with a priceless pic and with an even better realization of the history of UNC basketball.  I knew that I would one day have to check out a Duke Unc game in Chapel Hill.


I'm guessing very few people have been in both locker rooms of what is one of the biggest rivalries in all sports.  With that said, I might even do an article in the future of visiting heaven and hell...aka.. the Duke and Unc locker rooms.     

Last season I made the Duke vs. Unc game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.  It had been on the bucket list and I finally did it.  We all know that is one of the toughest tickets in all sports.  Students camp out several days just to get in that game and fans drop over a $1,000 to get in.  With the game in Chapel Hill only 1 day away... here is something to hold you over....here is some links on some of my work I did documenting my experience of Unc at Duke last year.   

1st link will take you to my article for Duke Report on my Duke vs. Unc Game Experience. 
2nd link will take you to my short movie I made documenting the Duke vs. Unc game experience. 

Rivalry week is finally here!  Go Duke and GTHC!
