Angela, Meghan, Julia, and Shalini can spell!


So can Jen and Laura
 

And I helped

Proud to be a Cameron Crazy


Yes, Angela is carrying soy milk. I'm still not sure why


I sure felt welcomed... especially by the handout sheet that all students got, which included Wake-Forest-player-specific taunts. We probably have the most organized trash-talk network in all of college sports.


The student section was packed

People tented for three days to get tickets for this game...
I just sort of came 3 hours early... and still got great seats.

For all you Lebo friends, this is the famous Katherine,
A.K.A. Playmate Veggieheart


It was she who provided the hair dye.

Conclusion:

Final score: Duke 84, Wake 72

Best taunt: "SAFETY SCHOOL, SAFETY SCHOOL"

Best student fan: Tie between the guy dressed as the gorrilla (it's HOT in Cameron) and the people who brought the 30 foot Texas Flag (Texas recently beat Wake Forest in an embarrassing upset)

Strangest occurence: The Wake Forest fan who held up the sign that read "4.5", prompting several hundred Duke students to chant "What's that mean?" Aparently it has something to do with a Julius Hodge quote. Whatever.

Best non-student fan: Tie between Crazy Towel guy, an adult who comes to all Duke games and waves a towel whenever people chant "Crazy Towel Guy", and the 100+ year old guy who plays a trumpet, prompting the students to all yell "Charge".

Life-goals accomplished: Attend a major Duke Basketball game (#511) and see Dick Vitalle in person (#391).

Better ways to spend an afternoon: ......... Hmm........
