So my wife has had training in Greensboro all last week and this week so today I decided to go to campus and spend the day. On the way there I prayed I could run into Grayson. I get to campus and park and look around the store and go to Cameron hoping to get inside but the doors are locked so I went into the hall of fame. It's completely empty and after a few minutes I hear a door open and then someone pop a bubble and I turn around and it was Matt! We talk for a little while and I get a picture with him and he tells me they're having practice in a little while. So as I'm just smiling from the experience while looking around something gets me to look outside and I see Grayson. So I go down there and he's with White and one of the walk-ons(not sure which) and I ask for a picture and Grayson says yes so I go over and the other two move out of the way and I said no guys y'all too and they both start smiling from ear to ear. After that I shook their hands and told them God bless and they just seemed excited and said that means a lot! Now I'm really pumped so I go back to the hall of fame and look outside and here comes Jeter and Luke and when they get inside we talk and I get a picture and chase flashes a big peace sign and Luke starts just cracking up. Next Obi comes in and we take a picture and he was extremely polite. After that I decide to just sit outside and next Harry comes around the corner and I ask him and he smiles and nods his head and flashes his famous grin which I swear makes him look like the happiest guy on earth. We shake hands and he's VERY friendly. Next Bolden shows up and I miss delaurier as I talk to Bolden and get a picture. Lastly Tatum and frank show up(running late I'm pretty sure) they were the least talkative but seemed to be in a hurry. All in all as a Duke fan I couldn't of asked for a better day. It really got me thinking about our current team and how mad and angry we can get and negative (especially me) but in reality this is a group of kids and really good kids at that. I mean they all took the time to be friendly and take a picture with a short 26 year old that hasn't shaved his beard in months haha! But I'm proud to be a blue devil and proud of the guys we have representing US!

Hahahaha! If I can figure it out I will. Or you can fbook me lol

Pisgah, I made this gif quite awhile back (need to make a better one someday) on how to upload pics to DI. You'll need a 'Photobucket' account, or some other media hosting site (photobucket has free accounts). Make you an account, and start from there. The gif I made was starting with finding a picture online, but as you watch the steps it gets to where you use the pics on your hard drive. Hope it helps.

Well someone has tried to get you to come to a Women's game and he will see them. If I had to bet money you're the one wanting to see them, he's just running cover for you!
You know me well my friend. I'm nearly twice their age and still feel like a little kid at duke and when I see players. My nephew is following in my footsteps I'm afraid.

Other than you looking like you were doing the "mannequin challenge" when Jay Williams walked by you are like a little kid. I'm still deaf in my right ear when you started screaming when you saw Gbinije. Sorry you don't have a pic to recapture the moment.

Raleigh is pretty bad. Chapel Hell is even worse. I try to stay away from that sh!thole of a town as much as I can. One of the major overpasses in Raleigh had about 100 Trump supporters waving flags and holding huge signs for weeks leading up to the election. Still love your avatar. Don't change it!!
