[hedevil]

blueprofessor- Thank you !! I couldn't find that link anywhere. My wife hadn't seen it yet, so I had to show her (we get mushy for this stuff). Thanks again.

How's this for full circle?

I was watching the video of J.J. breaking Dawkins' record, and at several times they cut to a shot of the Redick family sitting behind the Duke bench. I won't spoil the surprise, but, well, there's a visitor taking in this Duke milestone...

Can you at least give a time in the video to start watching? It's 10 minutes long...

Edit: whole thing is worth watching, haha, but try the 7:02 and 8:36 marks...

I'm very late to this party - not that anyone cares, but I must register my delight with this team and their title. I was out of town and away from TV. Long story, many details, but some might find it amusing that I had to follow from about the 10 min mark of the 2nd half via a 2/5th strength WiFi signal on my Palm TX, and set the site (ESPN, carrying a CBS feed, apparently) it to update every 15 seconds. It was nerve-wracking! But worth it in the end. I still have not yet seen a single highlight; I tried to arrange to have the game recorded on DVD while I was gone. Hope it worked.

Guess I'll watch the Blue Planet video now.

I liked Boozer comment where he said "The thing about it is, even though we won it in '01 and they won it this year, you still feel a part of it. So it was cool." Says so much about Duke

Thanks. Luckily, my wife and son got it recorded to DVD, and I finally got to see it this afternoon. Knowing the outcome certainly reduced the tension, but it was a great, tightly contested game. Butler is really good. But, for this year at least, we're the best. So happy for our guys!

Just watched both Indy games again and still went yelling out into the back yard when it was all over. Still pinching myself!
National Champs!!!! WoooHoooo!

[YourLandlord]

hopefully duke will be able to string together like 12-13 championships in a row

This made me laugh.

[terrih]

I put this together tonight!

[Welcome2DaSlopes]

That's looks really great. Good work

[proelitedota]

I just re-watched the championship game. I can't believe how good this game was. The tension is palpable as ever.

[DukeDevil]

Dawkins had a tweet yesterday evening "who says you can't win a national championship and go to prom the same week"

If he went to his high school senior prom (which is what i assume this to mean)...talk about being the MAN. "oh...varsity letter? that's nice" (as he scratches his chin showing off the championship ring)

Here are my thoughts on the season and why we won:

I just came across this interesting video on youtube...maybe this is why Coach K didn't want them to have an inbounds

Yeah, except Butler didn't have the "what I tell you, son" guy on their bench.

(Nice find, btw.)
