Blue Planet

Everyone talks about the NBA lockout ending, which would mean more basketball on TV here in Canada for those of us not lucky enough to get all the extra sports channels, but I love college ball. Maybe it's because I like the fact that I don't have to try and figure out salary caps and trade dead lines but truth of the matter is I just find it more enjoyable to watch, whatever the reason. More importantly I am a huge Duke fan! It all started, like most sport things in my life, with wanting to be like my brother so that was his team so it was my team too. But over the past few years it has been so much fun being a Duke fan, mostly because people hate them haha. I look forward to another full season of getting chastise because I'm a 'duke-crazy' and don't mind in the least ..... I will love every minute of it!!
Check out their media/fan site - dukeblueplanet - they do a fantastic job of keeping the site up to date!


Quick Game Notes:
On the Women's side - they will be fun to watch because they are so young but they can all shoot the 3 ball and run the floor hard. I think, they will have the rookie of the year in Williams (hope I get the chance to see them at Final Four).
For the already highly talked about men ... Yes Austin Rivers may be overrated but every Duke team needs someone the fans can hate the most and he is starting at a fresh 4 years. Ryan Kelly ... yes exactly "who?" You will know soon enough. Seth Curry, yeah the other Curry, will be a PTP when no one else steps up! And the Plumlees - take your pick, you never know which one will step up but there are enough to choose from!

Just another source of inspiration and sport fun in my life :).
