ESPN College GameDay arrives for Duke-UNC on Sat. 3/6
February 26, 2010
Given that Duke is favored to beat UNC badly enough next week as to have them qualify for demotion to Division II, it's quite fitting -- hometown hubris aside -- to have America's 24-hour sports net on West Campus next weekend.
Yes, there's visitors in town next Sat., March 6 -- and not just those of a Chapel Hillian variety:
Join ESPN's GameDay crew of Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Digger Phelps, Hubert Davis and legendary coach Bob Knight live in Cameron Indoor Stadium from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. and again from 8-9 p.m. in the Krzyzewskiville courtyard. ESPN College GameDay is open to the general public with the doors to Cameron Indoor Stadium opening at 9:30 a.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early as SportsCenter will be producing live cut-ins to Cameron Indoor Stadium from 10-11 a.m.
Now, what's that ranking again? Oh, fifth-ranked Duke takes on (cough cough) unranked but much-rankled Carolina.
Tell your mom and dad back home they can watch you on the pre-game, and come out to campus to see the ESPN stars roll through town if you get the chance next weekend.
Barack Obama was a State Senator the last time Duke won an NCAA Championship. 'Nuff said.

Hey, I think a lot of your readers are Carolina fans. Considering we're the second winningest program in America, I think we can take a building year.
:p

Plus, no one on Duke's current roster has EVER beat UNC in Cameron, so let's not count those chickens just yet.

Will Duke be retiring Hansborough's jersey before the game? He never lost in Cameron and deserves to have his jersey up there...

Not to mention that probably 70% of Durham is made up of Carolina fans.

Don't be so harsh, guys.
Besides... the past few years have just been "rebuilding years" for Duke anyway, right?
I expect Mark Kleinschmidt to be wearing Duke blue on March 8 at the CH town council meeting...

@Mark, Duke beat UNC in Cameron last year...
