From my Facebook post last night:
I've been going to Duke football games since September 1972. I've seen mediocre, bad and horrible teams. But today was the BEST football game I've ever seen! You have no idea how happy I am right now! 8-2. WOW! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/happy/bouncyblue.gif
From Julio's article on the front page of the DBR
It's part of succeeding, more people want to be part of it, and really it's a good thing. But even as the fan base grows, you have to remember your core. And the core are those people who sat their butts in the bleachers for dozens of Saturdays without the slightest hope of anything other than a flukey win.
We're just going to name a few here at the risk of offending some we may know and not list: Buddy Womble, Jersey Mike, Lizz Wall, Mike Rosen and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Robins.
But these fans are the best. Duke should in some way acknowledge their remarkable devotion to what often seemed like a pointless cause.
No offense taken, Julio! See the above quote!
It's time for everyone to get on board. http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gifThe train of Oztimizm is leaving the station! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif
