Team Welcome Back

[dukebsbll14]

Hey guys,

So me and some friends are putting together I guess kind of a welcome back for the team when the return. We just wanted an opportunity to welcome them back and just say thank you for such an amazing season, and especially Kyle and Nolan for what they've meant to Duke and to us.

I spent all last night sending texts/social networking trying to get the message out there. A lot of people have expressed interest and really wanted to do this. So I ask if you are in the Durham area tonight, to come out to Cameron or wherever the team will be dropped off to just say thanks when the team gets back. I think getting a ton of people there would be really cool. Also, we're trying to get as many people to wear Nolan/Kyle jerseys as possible today, so that would be cool for those guys to see a big crowd of people wearing their jerseys after last night.

As of right now, my friend in the pep band tells me time of arrival is between 5-8 pm, but he's giving me a more accurate time today. If anyone on this board knows a specific time or specifically where they will return I'd appreciate it if you let me know so I could pass it along.

Good idea! Thank you for taking the lead.

Any updates to what time they will arrive? RDU? Thank you

They are on the plane now (or at least the pep band is) and I'm assuming they're all using the same plane, cause they did for the trip out there.

Waiting to hear back for when they take off.

Thanks so much!!! I will watch DBR for your updates. As I PM you earlier. I want to be in Durham when they arrive. Or even RDU!

Keep us in the loop, please! Our team needs our support now!

I wish I could be there - but I'll be cheering from Kansas.

For anyone available in the Triangle or Triad, lets all show up and give our support to the team, coaches and staff. I enjoyed the journey this season.

The airline I do not know.

I found the time of arrival, though. Got this from my friend in the pep band and exchanged tweets with Jose Fonseca the trainer.

They're are up in the air now, might need to stop for fuel, and are expected to land at RDU around 5-5:15. Jose will tweet me when they land, and it usually takes 45 to return from RDU. So expected to be back at CIS around 6:15. So, anytime between 5:45-6:30.

This is a wonderful gesture.

Duke basketball does so much to cheer us fans up. It is rare that the fans have the opportunity to cheer up the team. I suspect this will be tremendously appreciated.

Kudos to any and all of you that are able to attend.

Aren't they on a charter flight? I'd be very surprised if they are not.

I'm all the way in the mountains of western N.C. so I can't make it, but a huge THANK YOU to all of you who go. It means very much to the team. I already feel like a fair-weathered fan because I was there last year for the championship welcome but won't be there this year. Somebody thank them and cheer them a little extra for me please?! Duke fans are the best!

OZZIE, are you going to RDU or Cameron to welcome back the team? I think that is a great jesture.

I am going. Just would like to zone in on the ETA.

Thought about going to RDU, but its Friday, and traffic is crazy. I am only about 15 minutes from CIS.

Lets welcome our Blue Devils back to Duke University. They are our Champions!

For anyone interested, I believe this is the flight the team is on, though I'm not positive. You can track it live here:

Don't know yet. The thought of fighting all that traffic is not appealing at all.

[DevilWearsPrada]

Well, I am going to head over to Cameron about 5pm. And get there before 530, Even with the plane landing, they have to get on the bus, and drive to Durham.

I am going!!!

Here's what the class of 2011 has done already:

"If you can't read it, it says:
We Heart You Guys
It's been a great 4 years
Thank You, Kyle & Nolan & Casey
Class of 2011"
