I voted for both DeMarcus Nelson and Kyle Singler for NABC's all region team.  They were both officially named to the team today.

ESPN's Gameday will be held in Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first time.  Details on when, where and how to get there are in the link.  BDN Premium will be on campus all afternoon tomorrow and early evening to report on the happenings shortly after they take place.  The atmosphere is sure to be rocking!

Duke Baseball is off to an 11-0 start and they have a three game series at home with their rival North Carolina this weekend.  The first game is today at 3:00.

USA Today refers to the big Duke-UNC game as a melodrama.

President Brodhead comments on the untimely, horrid death of UNC student and class president, Eve Carson - 

"I have called Chancellor Moeser to share my great sorrow at the tragedy the UNC community has endured with the loss of Eve Carson. The death of a student is always a grievous loss on a campus. In this case, the loss is particularly senseless and appalling."

"Duke’s counseling and student affairs staffs are working with their counterparts at Chapel Hill to offer whatever services we can. The hearts of everyone at Duke are with our colleagues at Chapel Hill at this hard time."

The Chicago Sports Review calls the Duke-UNC battle the greatest rivalry in sports today.

We just put up the name of another 2009 prospect that will visit and we are more often than not way ahead of the corporate sites.  There are no smoke and mirror techniques at BDN Premium.  There is just hard work where we cover events in person gladly and willingly.  The people that cover the events and happenings at this site bleed royal blue, having been to more games in a season than most who cover Duke from a premium angle have in a lifetime.  We know what you want as fans and have been around Duke University for a long time.

Come on in where the passion is!  Paypal links are in the menu to your right.  Three months of premium is 36.00, six months 60.00 and one year is a deal at 100.00.
