So sorry to hear. Praying for a full recovery for Ray.

I sure hope I am wrong too.  They can beat any of these teams.  Let’s hope the “away” court will bring them luck.

Men's Basketball » Annoying ads » 1/17/2026 11:12 am

Totally agree Phoenix
   If the program is so desperate for revenue, do something creative.  Show the stats much more frequently, have a fund raiser or an appeal, have an interactive player experience (if that’s legal).  Don’t minimize the game experience for the few of us willing to come out for the games.  Otherwise we might as well have ads where the team running player stats are and constantly on the big screens.  THAT would generate a lot of money.   I know that’s absurd but so is not fixing the corner panels and constant ads.  Go Dukes!

Men's Basketball » Annoying ads » 1/15/2026 2:18 pm

After I received the announcement about Mike’s Beer Bar Coaches Radio Show, I emailed Phoebe Bowers back about these  concerns.  Be interesting to see if I hear anything back.  Doubt it.  I hope others contact Harper and others.  I need to do also.

Men's Basketball » Annoying ads » 1/15/2026 10:40 am

Is it just me or is anyone else frustrated with the constant rotating ads on the side panels of the end zone scoreboards?  Having the running stats throughout the game was great. Now they only appear on the big screens infrequently.  I get the need to generate revenue but having to use my phone to monitor game stats is ridiculous.  That feature was one I always liked about the Coop.  Maybe I missed something and this is a temporary thing.  
Thoughts?

Men's Basketball » Board Changes » 2/07/2025 9:13 am

Many thanks to you CLK and to Phoenix and WashpaRick for all of you time and work on the board.  I have had little to offer but have cherished your and others information and insights!  Thanks so much to BluffHunter and FAM for continuing!  Go Dukes!

Men's Basketball » Game Thread - Hampton Pirates (Cayman Islands Classic) » 11/25/2024 9:04 pm

Incredibly disappointing so far.  After having seen the Lipscomb and Milwaukee games in person and hearing about the other losses, it is obvious that the "playing freer" and wide open offense isn't working.  With the players returning,  who had played a more structured, set-play offense under Keith and a number of new players, wouldn't it make sense to stay with the structured offense?  Very surprised Dru let this go on.  Maybe it's just me.  Of course, poor shooting and lousy free throw shooting hasn't helped. 

Men's Basketball » Game Threads - Who wants to take this over? » 10/17/2024 8:59 am

Thank you Phoenix for all of your hard work!  And thanks so much BluffHunter for taking over.  Much appreciated!! 
Go Dukes!!

Men's Basketball » Team Meet & Greet + A10 Championship Trophy Tour at Ross Park Mall » 8/02/2024 10:08 am

Went to the tour at Ross Park.  What a nice event.  A constant stream of folks.  It was fun to see the trophy but most of all to meet many of the players.  They were all very friendly, engaging and said they were very happy to be with the program.  Said the practices have been tough but good.  It was really interesting talking to Jakub and Matus about their opportunity to play for their home country.  They had a great experience.  A touching moment was seeing David Dixon shooting some hoops with some of the smaller kids at the outdoor court.  So nice to see kids, parents and adults getting merch signed by the players.  Go Dukes!

Agree that a redesign of the lion (given our ring) or the Duke but please not the big headed Steely McBeam type. There has to be something in between

My apologies for misinterpreting the invitation

Men's Basketball » Celebration of DU Basketball » 4/08/2024 10:15 am

Just received an updated email stating that the event is a dinner.  Feel better about that opportunity.

Men's Basketball » Celebration of DU Basketball » 4/08/2024 9:22 am

Soooo.... we get the privilege of paying $100 to celebrate a wonderful year and coach’s tenure after decades of supporting a crappy program.  I can understand “strike while the iron’s hot” and doing some fund raising but c’mon man.  Thank you for your support 🙄

Men's Basketball » Anybody know the place and time for Drus press conference? » 4/01/2024 11:55 am

Women's basketball » WNIT game Dukes vs. Monmouth » 3/25/2024 1:55 pm

=19.5pxTotally agree MikeR.  Definitely needs to be a Coop celebration for the men’s team!

Men's Basketball » Mossie Cheer » 3/25/2024 12:52 pm

YES! The wonderful visual of him jumping up and down and the stomping of feet.  I can see it and feel it.  Like we are back there. What a great discussion. 
This has to happen next year.  Keep his spirit alive.

I don’t post much as I don’t know the intricacies of the game like most of you but have thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts and thoughts for years.  Thank you all.  And thank you to coach, players, Dave Harper, President Gormley, alum and fans for an unforgettable year.   Having been at the loss in 71, this has been a dream come true.  Let’s go Dukes!

Men's Basketball » Mossie Cheer » 3/25/2024 10:49 am

LOL you are right kcc.  He would great frustrated and yell it out again.  Of course everyone did not want to disappoint.  It was glorious.  The whole arena would get into it. Some disagree and believe we need something new.  But, It is a quirky, energizing cheer.  Even Mossie’s daughter would like to see it back per FB.  Could it be an individual in the stands (stew?) or a video of Mossie?  Maybe AI could work it’s magic

Men's Basketball » Mossie Cheer » 3/25/2024 9:38 am

Thanks for the memories. Totally agree with CLK’s version of the cheer. My only other recollection was that he would start with “Are you ready?”   Maybe I’m just dreaming that

Men's Basketball » Light blue heart on unis » 2/06/2023 7:48 pm

Anyone know what the light blue heart stands for on the Dukes uniforms at the GW game?  Surprised to see it.  Let’s go Dukes!

Men's Basketball » Game Thread - George Washington University Colonials » 2/05/2023 6:01 pm

What a great game for the Dukes!  Maybe this was asked or discussed earlier but does anyone know what the light blue heart on their jersey signifies?  Thanks
