perspective on the Grayson Allen tripping incident
I have often thought about setting up a blog about my favorite college basketball team. I discovered "Skeelow Duke Fan #1 " today and I think this will suffice.... check it out at :
SkeelowDukeFan.com
He shares a good perspective of the Grayson Allen tripping incident near the end of the Duke-FSU game Thursday night. Of course Grayson was wrong and it should not happen again, but the other player was probably just as guilty - that is why there was "no call" by the referee. I am sure Coach K will handle this internally and Grayson will learn how to handle his frustrations at being elbowed and fouled (when no foul is called), etc.
#15 Duke faces #18 Pitt on Sunday afternoon at 2 PM and we are hoping for another win as Duke moves up in the polls each week. The regular season ends with Duke playing Wake Forest on Tuesday, and North Carolina plays as Duke on Saturday, March 5th.

Video - must see NBA coach Monty Williams Speech at wife's funeral
I was impressed with the speech coach Monty Williams gave at his wife's funeral. I can only hope I can be this positive if I ever have to go through a trial like this. This video has been viral, all over the internet, so you may have seen it, but I thought is was worth posting on my blog. It is not often that the NBA would post spiritual content like this.

Video of Duke at UNC 2016: The Final Possession
Many people have been saying that the UNC player was fouled on the last shot, by Duke's no. 12 Thornton...but watching this replay in slow motion you can tell it was clean defense with no foul. Amazing end to the game!

Video - "Where We'll Never Grow Old" - The Church Sisters
My mom and dad enjoyed listening the "The Church Sisters" on YouTube today.
Singing an old gospel song "Where We Never Grow Old" - it begins with an original recording from 1927 in Bristol, VA. They say the world was introduced to traditional mountain music with this recording.
