Andy Katz has a new Pre-Season Top 25 Poll up and he lists Duke at #11.  Meanwhile, Kemba Walker, a 6'2" point guard and the overall #36 player in the Class of 2008, has given an oral commitment to UCONN.  And NMSU, who will play at Cameron in November, lost their Coach, Reggie Theus, to the Sacramento Kings of the NBA.

Watzone loves old school!  Before Coach K and Foster, there was a heck of a coach named Vic Bubas leading the Blue Devils.  I want somebody to win a six month membership to the Blue Devil Nation Premium Newsletter!  To do so, you must do a little research or have lived as a Blue Devil fan in the sixties.  I realize that many of you were yet to be born in the sixties, so I have made the question one that you can figure out if you dig out the record books.

You are looking at a 1964 Final Four program, signed by the Duke basketball team.  For a closer view, go here!

You will notice that athletes in the day signed their names in a clear manner.  For a three month membership, name the players who signed this program who went on to have a career in professional basketball?  Who were the final four teams and what was the teams record versus arch rival UNC during he 1963-64 season?

The first person to answer the three questions correctly, gets the subscription.  But wait!  You can extend the membership to six months by naming all the players that played professional basketball in this oh-so cool link to a letter from Vic Bubas which is signed by the team?  Can you tell me the year by looking at the names?

Also, can you tell me the assistant coaches name who signed the letter and his claim to fame?

If you get all the questions right, I will gladly grant you a six month membership, so you can keep up with recruiting and happenings in Duke athletics.  You will earn the crown and be the King of the sixties.

A very young Watzone is reaching out to a player for an autograph in 1964.  Can you name this player and his current occupation?  Do so, and I will give you a month of premium access.  Hint, he was Italian.

Check out the kid waving a Duke pennant Yep!  That's me!  But as I have told an assistant coach, don't call me old if you can't beat me in "horse."
