This song goes out to all the Duke fans in panic mode (link below)...  "Step back from the ledge my friend"...

Step Back From the Ledge
It has been way too long since I have updated this blog... so here we go..

I was able to make 5 games this season...so far.  They were Siena, Bryant, Yale, Buffalo, and Long Beach State.  With this crazy ACC season, I wished that the tourney was in Greensboro but it's not.  The ACC Tourney in DC this year looks to be an epic one with the way the ACC regular season has played out so far.      

Step back from the ledge Duke fans!   Yes Duke has 6 losses now, yes Duke will fall out of the top 25, and yes Duke is fighting to make the NCAA Tourney!   But this is where we will see who are the "true Duke" fans.  Do you really bleed Duke blue?  Scanning the message boards I have seen a lot of "armchair quarterback" coaches thinking they have all the answers.   After seeing some of the Duke fan complaints (look if you were not even alive during the Laettner shot, then yeah... you are young... and yeah your opinion doesn't carry much weight lol) I decided to write the following article below.  Link below will take you to the article at Duke Report.

Look this team has heart!  They will not give up!  And this Duke fan will support them no matter  where the roller coaster takes us!

Maybe some of the Duke fans (that are in worry mode) need hands laid upon them lol...

Duke lost 4 of their starters last year and three went in the 1st round of the NBA Draft.   So yes I see this as a rebuilding year.   But hey... the future is very bright!

Grayson Allen has been an amazing player this season for Duke.  He has become one of my favorite Duke players.  He is a very likable guy.  He was a big part of the reason Duke came from behind to beat Wisconsin in the national championship last season.  Something tells me Grayson is going to help Duke hold up even more trophies during his time at Duke.  We joked about that after the Yale game earlier this season.  You can see that interview link below.

Duke has 10 games left in the regular season.  Here's to hoping Amile Jefferson is back soon and Duke can right the ship.  We as Duke fans have a lot to be thankful for.  GO DUKE!

Anybody that actually read this entire blog post ...here's a couple bonus videos I shot in slow motion.

The 1st video is of the Duke Basketball players running out on Coach K court from an earlier game this season (link below).  *** Turn the volume all the way down!  The loudness of Cameron Indoor doesn't work well with slo-motion on the iphone lol!

2nd video (link below) is of the Duke players giving the Cameron Crazies high fives after a Duke game in Cameron.  Again turn the volume down.
