On Jan. 2 1978, Gene Banks freshman year, we played Virginia Tech in the Roanoke, Virginia Civic Center and beat them 86-79. I remember because this long suffering Duke fan (we sucked in the 70's) drove up from Durham with two of my high school friends home on Christmas break from college to root on our Devils. After the game we went to get something to eat at a local dive and the team was there eating. I got to shake Gene's meat hook of a hand. I haven't washed that hand in 43 years.
