I have a 13 yr background as a college basketball coach (NY area/Northeast), and am also a hardcore ACC & college hoops fan in general. In the last yr, I’ve also been Hosting a college hoops & recruiting Talk Show called “Off The Boards”
(providing a secondary “fix” for the hardcore fan that is pretty active on team website & national recruiting message baords)
One of the new elements to the niche heading into this season is Hosting Post Game shows for a few highly recognizable programs with high volume fan bases.
Duke is the latest one I am trying to get up & running. I’ve been promoting the idea through various outlets & have recieved some good feedback about the potential

The main reason I reaching out to you..is I am looking for a credible individual/hardcore Duke follower, who might have interest in
co-hosting the show with me or being a couple of VIP callers (bringing credible insight)…after as many televised/online broadcasts as possible

would you have any interest to join me ?

the show logisstically & in nature is pretty easy deal. It airs LIVE . I’m able to Host it from my house using phone & computer.
I’m able to take calls..as all callers comeinto a switchboard that appears on mt computer.
The show can last up to 2 hours.
My precedent & plan moving forward, is to start the shows about a 1/2 hour after the game ends.

Jim (Oliver) is looking to contribute to varying degrees moving forward.

Hope all is well..and to hear back from you a.s.a.p.

I am from North Carolina and yes grew up in the days of Duke being the underdog to NCSU and UNC. I really became a huge fan, not only because of my dad, but in the Gminski days. I can remember hanging out in my room and listening to Duke play on AM radio with the station was fading in and out. Meanwhile UNC was on most of the FM stations that came in loud and clear.

Currently I live in Virginia (moved here only for work) and really miss watching Duke play live and in person. My best memories are of the 1998 season when my dad, who is an Iron Duke, was able to score season tickets for the both of us, where I saw Shane Battier and Elton Brand play in thier freshman seasons. My dad surely could not afford season tickets in any additional seasons but that will always be in my fondest memories of Duke.

As a positive, one of the few nice things about living in Northern VA is not having to deal with the annoying UNC fans.

On a recruiting note, I went to the Montrose Christian/St. Stephens basketball game last night in Alexandria. Got to see Josh Hairston and Terrence Ross play. They both are amazing athlete’s where I believe Ross could make a great addition to the team (since he has not chosen his final destination yet). Hairston seemed a little non-agreesive, but should take over for Lance Thomas nicely and include a better offensive game. He even hit a couple of 3 pointers in the game last night.

Keep on posting – I really enjoy your site.

Thanks,

I am from NC but currently live in Virginia. The nice thing about that is not having to deal with the Tar Heel fans anymore.

I have followed Duke since the Gminski days and have always been a real fan that keeps up with recruiting and every other aspect of the basketball program.

That’s pretty funny to say actually. Anyways I was wondering if it was okay to add your site to my drop down lists of sports blogs on my site. If you like mine I’d love for you to add mine as well. I’m a Duke fanatic so I love reading your stuff. I’ll start writing Duke content probably near the Pfeiffer game (that should be a thriller). At least Harrison is supposed to be there.

Anyways, good articles,

Gene

Glad to see Duke fans with BIG DUKE BALLS!!! I am inspired tostart my own website. It was the classless Tarholes post that did it for me. You know as a nc native I really want to be happy for them, but the Duke fan in me wants to drive up there and paintball the hell out of that place. I do have a request! Can all Duke fans attend the football games. I would love to see a winning group of fans with the NEW Duke football team.
