For those who have been living under a rock the past 30 or so years, let me let you in on a little secret: Greg (and his family) is OBSESSED with Duke basketball. The guy reads probably 5 Duke-related stories online about the team each day... in the off-season! During the season, I get a daily report of how practice went, who’s shooting well, who’s hurt, who got a bad grade on a test, what one reporter has speculated about when Kyrie Irving will be returning, etc. I know who all the good freshman in HIGH SCHOOL are because Greg has told me all about them and how they’re considering Duke. I think Greg really thinks that he is part of Duke’s recruiting department. Anyway, he’s no fair-weather fan (although, with Duke it’s hard not to be, they only have fair weather in Duke basketball), this cute little Durham, NC establishment is where Greg spent his first through tenth years.
And this mailbox is the reason for the scar on the top of his head:
Greg was able to return to Durham this week to go to Duke’s last home game against Clemson. His friend is currently getting an MBA there and had a ticket to the game, so Greg flew out for a quick trip. For the 8pm game, they got there around 4pm.

Shoot-around (can you tell how giddy he is?)
This is how close Greg was to the court. That’s his shoe at the bottom, and Duke’s bench at the top.

And the best part of the trip? What he brought home from the bookstore that CANNOT be bought online...
Where’s the blue devil? Oh, right there.

I had no idea Greg was out here, and we saw Stucki's on tuesday night. Unfortunately, that game was the night before Josh's final so he couldn't go. Next time come with your husband, will ya?
geez, i think you just described brandon, except replace duke w/ the university of utah and basketball w/ football. those husbands of ours are pretty good at being obsessed. oh well, better than something illegal right? :)
ADORABLE! Love those pig tails!
It's not normal to get the daily practice update?
We are so jealous. What amazing seats. Maybe we should make this a family affair next year...
I'm speechless. The house, the mailbox, the dead grass, CAMERON, Coach K Court, Duke duds, AND pigtails?!!!! I just don't know what to say.
