In case you are a total sports idiot, Duke finally won a national champion last night! It's been a while for Duke fans. I was literally on the edge of my CPM and in spirit I was jumping up and down. Like me dad said, that game was almost too close for my taste. I'm just so glad they won.
I almost had a major accident as I paused the game to go to the little boys room during the last time out with only a few seconds left. I decided that I was too nervous to hold it because I'd been sucking down vitamin water all night. I tried to wait but I found that I could just wait around to watch Zoubek shoot those foul shots. While I was heading off to the bathroom, I was watching the TV screen and I tripped over my ice machine and landed very weird. To my amazement I actually was able to do the "quick step" with my bad leg and regain balance without injury. I'm just glad I didn't fall back and re-tear the knee again doing something dumb. I just can't imagine the embarrassment of saying, "Yea, I re-tore my ACL in the 2 week of rehab because I tripped over my ice machine while watching the national championship game... while it was paused."
For Duke fans, I have to include these photos. What a year. I knew when I saw Duke play at the first of the year that this year was going to be the year to go all the way. I didn't even recognize Zoubek at the start of the season. He had gained 50 lbs of pure muscle and was a beast down in the middle. He was the key to victory. The final four, especially, the refs called the game like it was a cage match, gorilla basketball. You had to take someone's head off to get a foul. Zoubek and also Nolan Smith were so tough. Smith took some serious punishment and kept on going. Singler was simply on fire. 2010 National Champions - Duke Blue Devils!!!!!
