Nike To Honor Phil Knight's 80th!

Nike has a cool men's college basketball tournament that they are working on that will occur in 2017 in conjunction with Nike co-founder Phil Knight's 80th birthday! My favorite men's N.C.A.A. D-1 team is Duke, and so I'm excited that they are involved. I guess they're having two 8-team tourneys so as to comply with rules not to put two schools from the same conference (examples: Duke and North Carolina) in the same bracket. I think this has so many neat possibilities, and it will be a super cool way to honor Phil Knight a couple of months before he turns 80 years old. The link above lists all of the teams that will probably be involved.

John Cougar Mellencamp's Son Walking-On At Duke!

John Cougar Mellencamp's son Hud is a walk-on at Duke University this season for the football team. I went to look up what position he plays, and I am a bit perplexed. He is the only guy on the team listed as a defensive back. I have no clue whether Coach Cut wants to use him as a nickel or dime back. The thing is, there are other guys classified as safeties and other guys classified as cornerbacks. He's the only guy classified as a defensive back. That perplexes me!
