    Re: Jumbo's Level of Enthusiasm

    Dear Jumbo,

    My memory may be hazy, but it seems like it's been a long time since you've been this excited about a Duke team. My guess is that part of it has to do with getting to watch them develop within a new style. Clearly we have a good group of young guys who are developing before our eyes, and that's really fun; but that's always really fun. So what's different about this year's team that has you seemingly GGLC?

    Yours in giddiness and curiosity,
    cto

    Interesting. I really don't think I've been any more excited this year than in the previous decade on DBR. Heck, last year I think I was a voice of optimism through much of a painful season. Now, obviously I'm stoked about the Carolina win. And I really want everyone to appreciate how good we have it. But given the fact that some people think I'm excited/giddy/overly optimistic and others get on me for being too critical, I guess I'm doing my job. And when I say "job," I mean that I'm accomplishing what I hope to do when I post -- being analytical while remaining true to my Duke fandom. I'm not sure if that makes any sense. But I'm really enjoying this season, just as I always enjoy watching Duke play.

    The answer is pretty obvious - how many Duke teams over the past decade has Scheyer been on?

    LOL. Yeah, I was thrilled last season. He has a long way to go to reach Battier/C-Well/Hurley levels...
