Hey guys, I'm kinda new on here, but not brand new. I lost all my previous posts, and the likes that some of you gave me (which I really appreciated), but I have been reading all your posts (in the read only mode) and really enjoyed most of them. I could not get on the Forum this year for whatever reason (long story and I won't bore you with it), but I just found a way to get back on, so I can live with my previous posts disappearing. It's just great to be back, and my only regret is that I lost my place in the OFC, which I was pretty proud of! You have to be pretty old to understand.
Anyway, just wanted to express my feelings (I haven't missed watching a game this year), and try to give hope to some of the negative views thus far. It's been really difficult watching what's going on with the team, injuries, lack of a sense of urgency, and of course, Coach K having surgery. I have seen most of the good and bad over the years with this program, and you all know the good far out-weighs the bad. Please stay positive, realize that as good as they are, they are still just kids!
Now, I have a real strong feeling that things are going to change real soon, and all of us are going to go on a ride that we will remember forever! The season is not lost, and I believe that everything is done for a reason (we just don't always know what the reason is), and if not when Coach K returns, it will be shortly thereafter, everyone in College Basketball is going to be saying "Here Comes Duke"!
Not just blowing smoke, I really feel like these great young kids just need Coach K back, and I believe they are waiting on him, and we will see a relaxed (that's right, no pressure) team that is going to take us on another great ride!! Might take a couple of games, but trust me, IT'S GONNA BE OK!!
Go Duke!
