And I think that even now, I think the guys still feel that way.

You know, honestly, we just try to get out of the way.

I think I you know who knows I mean we talk so much that it's hard to gauge but I'll bet you we talk less in a Duke Carolina game than we do in any other game one what good is talking nobody can hear you it's certain segments of the game and

You know, I kind of have a rule for myself that if I have to raise my voice during a game, then don't say anything.

And there are a number of times when you, you know, they call it laying out where you just, you don't say anything and the director's in charge and the pictures tell the story.

And that probably happens more often in a Duke Carolina game than any other game.

And so for me, it's not so much about trying to convey, hey, here's what it was like or here's what it feels like.

You just let people feel it because it it doesn't need a lot of times it doesn't need explanation.

Like, you know, you have the build up to the game where all we do is talk.

But then when the game starts.

the game does all the talking and you know, you, you have to do something during the game, but it's kind of a get out of the way thing more than anything.

It's, it's almost like you're a, it's almost like you're a guide in a museum, you know, and you can sit and give somebody back, you know, when you get up to the Mona Lisa, what are you going to give background on?

You know, just let them, let them look at it and enjoy, enjoy the art, you know, and somebody asks you a question, you're there.

but I'm not going to get in the way of somebody's enjoyment of that.

And I feel the same way about this.

It's just a, it's, it's, it's an incredible amount of, it's a privilege one, but it's an incredible amount of fun just to, to be there and just kind of soak it in of how cool it is.

And people may not believe this, but like, I don't care who wins the game.

It doesn't matter because there, there's going to be another one at the end of the year.

There'll be one, maybe one in the ACC tournament and maybe beyond.

And,
