I'm a Duke University graduate and a North Carolina native.
My first sports love was the Charlotte Hornets...since then, I have become a fan of the Carolina Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, and, of course, Duke. I made a point of attending every home Duke football game during my undergraduate years, and as many basketball games as I could.
I've been in attendance for some truly fantastic finishes: Jake Delhomme's first game as a Panther in 2003, in which he threw a 4th-down touchdown with less than a minute remaining to beat Jacksonville; two incredible comebacks by the 'Canes against the Devils and Oilers in the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs; and, of course, Sean Dockery's half-court shot to beat Virginia Tech in 2005.
