Nolan Smith injured in Dukes win over Loyola

Duke played Loyola at 4:00 and continued the nation-wide record of non-conference home wins (65 games) with a 92-51 win.  Nolan Smith injured his knee early in the game, which is some cause for concern, but from what I’ve read afterwards it was just bruised and it shouldn’t [...]

Little Big »

Not too much to talk about today.  Work was really busy and the dogs were driving me crazy.  They kept running around and tussling with each other while I was trying to get stuff done.  I’d let them out but then Harvey would start barking and Bruce would join in.

2008 Annual Day After Christmas Get Together »
