Hey Duke fans! This is Kyle and Casey hanging out watching some baseball at our off-campus apartment, and we thought it would be a good time to write up our first blog. We’re pumped about the S&P 1253 on Blue Planet and just to get this all started we are going to introduce each other a little bit.
Casey: Kyle, in my opinion (and in the opinion of a lot of experts around the country), is the best player in college hoops this year, and is by far the most competitive person I have ever met. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big-time basketball game or a casual game of ping-pong, he is going to bring it. K-Y as a lot of us call him wears #12 for us as you all know, but off the court he is just as talented as he is on the court, which is going to make for a lot of fun throughout the year on the blog.
Kyle: Casey wears #53 for us, and as some of you might know was a manager for us for his first two years here at Duke. Case is an awesome teammate, and we have become really close friends throughout our three years here at Duke (and I even got to show him a little bit of what my hometown South Medford, Oregon is all about last summer). Casey and I have spent a lot of time in the gym together, but some of our best times also happen when we are away from the court.
It is pretty clear that Duke fans are simply some of the best in the world. Obviously you guys get to see what we do out on the court with the Crazies intimidating the other teams, but what we want to do is to give our Duke fans a more behind the scenes, personal feel about what we do in our time when we are not playing, and basically open it up to talk about our day to day stories, and what we like to do as college students. Throughout the season we’re going to obviously be talking a lot of basketball too, but like we said we want to open it up to what we are doing throughout the day, even away from Cameron, like if we found a new food spot that we really like, if we’re starting up a pretty cool new art project, or if someone actual beat Jon in a video game!
We are going to try and update our blog as often as we can, hopefully at least every week, but we also would love to hear from you all, and we definitely will answer as many questions or respond to any ideas that you guys have for us! Also, in addition to all that, we are going to do a weekly section where we talk about our predictions for what’s hot and what’s not for the coming week, in something we’re going to call “Buy and Sell” (hence the title’s spin off on the S&P 500 stock index). A little insider trading tip, definitely BUY Nolan Smith this year, stock is sure to jump up big time!!
Anyway, I hope you all are as excited for the coming season as our whole team is! Like Coach has said, we are much different than a lot of Duke teams of the past, and we all believe that we have the potential to make this an incredibly special year!! We are looking forward to getting our blog underway with you guys, so like we said, all questions and comments are cool. Until next time Crazies…KY and CP
