Hello Blue Devil Fans!
My name is Ritz (Pratt '12 and Fuqua '17) and along with Eric (Duke '12 and Nicholas '17), we have started a little project to see if we could rethink traditional sports media - everything from how it's produced and delivered to how it's viewed.
Eric and I both helped run the Graduate Student Basketball Committee for Campout and Game Ops during the 2016/2017 season and we've been looking for ways to continue sharing our passion for Duke with everyone. Our prevailing theory behind this is that ultimately, it would be more fun and engaging if Duke Basketball commentary and analysis was delivered by...well, Duke folks, that were free to be totally and unapologetically biased towards Duke and yet still retain the quality of commentary/analysis one would expect from a traditional sports show.
So...we built it, or at least the start of it (and as far as we think we can legally go for now without getting sued like crazy) and we call it The Duke Post Game Report.
We do the ~30 minute show live twice a week based on the basketball schedule. Each show has a segment for highlights and then a deep dive, although the formats vary slightly show to show to keep it interesting.
Here's an example of what we did after the Wake Forest game
Highlights: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/393016952
Deep Dive: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/393016951
Injury Report (with Justin Losciale (Duke Physical Therapy '17)): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/393636442
Full episode: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/392055740
What makes this different than a traditional sports show is the chance for the viewers to be directly involved in the conversation when we're live. Jump into chat, ask us questions, chat with other viewers, spam GTHC, troll us, whatever you'd like.
We'll be live tonight (Monday, March 11th) at 7:30PM PST/10:30PM EST to recap the UNC game and look forward to the ACC tournament. Wait, but Ritz..we lost the UNC game. Yes, we did, but Blue Devil Nation supports its team win or lose.
So join us and talk about all things Duke. Live stream link: twitch.tv/chalupawhale
(We couldn't actually call it "Duke something" as it's not officially endorsed by the school or athletics)
Ultimately this is for all of you Blue Devils out there! We'd like as much viewer feedback as possible and are constantly making changes/experimenting with different segments and formats. The feedback will ultimately helps us make improvements as we try to grow this, especially during the offseason.
Is viewing on Twitch free? Yes! Although if you want to heckle UNC in chat you'll need an account and feel free to drop us a follow if you do :D
Thank you for your consideration.
Go Duke and GTHC!
