As August and football season rushes nearer, I keep grabbing my phone to call my Dad and see what games we are going to. To call him and talk about the upcoming season and our hopes for another 10-win Duke season despite the difficult schedule. August was always the month of optimism. "This is the year that we go back to the ACC championship and a New Year's Six Bowl." He loved last year's team and would have been incredibly excited for this year, this team, Coach Elko and his staff… for Duke Football.
For as long as I can remember, Duke Basketball was on in our house (sadly football did not get a lot of TV airtime).
