I was there when Mike McGee's only option was to give it to Steve Jones..
...when the USSR came to town..
.when Tony Dorsett ran for over 200 yards
.when there were wooden bleachers above the bowl
.when they all boo'd when our boys came home from Vietnam
.when the old ball coach made his OC debut
.when Carl Franks could run fast and catch
.when Shirley Wilson became Red
.when Connor Barth kicked us in the gut..with .02 left
.when they clapped and cheered for man called Bear..
.when streaking was cool
.when Ted's twins were too young to know
.when i was the last person in the stands the day they fired Franks
.when the pelican bowl was played
.when the world record was set in the high jump
.when they smoked grass instead of pot
.when Jamison made the catch
.when we all cried on Sept. 22 2001 our first game since 9/11
.when Cut said 'We are Duke..'

and I'll be there today..what a long strange trip its been..

Wallace Wade I love the place.
