Unlike some folks, there is diversity in my sports interests. Not everything is about basketball.
My years as a student in the Divinity School of Duke University included many autumn afternoons filled with Duke football! My first year there we went to prestigious Hall of Fame Bowl. Still have a beat up plastic cup to celebrate the occasion. Or I might have used it to scoop cat liter back in 1999. Hmm.
The other seasons were less exciting because we watched our opponents out score us by multiple digits. Mostly, those afternoon games were spent visiting with other students, eating hot pretzels and trying to figure out just exactly what my theology professor was lecturing in class each week. The 'win' was a fun afternoon with friends with a side of mediocre football.
Great news, though, because.. our football team has another winning season this year! We might even be Bowl bound, again!
It is a Thanksgiving miracle.
So here's to Duke athletics: football and basketball! Woo hoo!
