About

Big time Duke Blue Devil fan. I've been a Dukie since birth pretty much. I was raised by a Duke grad in my father and grew up watching the Wojo years, Langdon years, Battier years, Boozer and Williams years, all of those. My biggest memory from that time growing up what when I was 8 years old and Duke faced UConn in the NCAA Championship. I have hated the Huskies ever since then, with a burning passion. Don't even get me started on UNC, actually, the fans are infinitely worse than the actual team to me. But anyway, I am an avid fan who gives every attempt to stay as current as possible on what's going on with my boys and I am using Bleacher Report to help me with it.

    Hey Sam,

    I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.

    I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.

    Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!
