Bill was a Duke graduate who loved his alma mater and he loved Duke football.
I understand the frustrations this season has brought. I’ve experienced them, too. I love this team, and know many of the players and their parents well, but I also know my own identity is separate from that of the team. Watching this team play isn’t just entertainment for me. It’s like watching my own kids play. If the other team has more talent, I still support my kids.
