If you're my age or older, you know who Robert Brickey is. If you're a youngster, you missed out. Robert Brickey was a great player at Duke who was a lot of fun to watch.

Turns out that Robert Brickey isn't just a former Blue Devil basketball player, he's also a Duke football fan. Robert was kind enough to take some time out of a Thursday evening (we recorded this on October 7, 2021) to talk about basketball, the legacy of his jersey number, number 21, finances, life and football. This was a fun talk with a great Blue Devil. I know you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

We don't have an interview, but the Coordinators have a jam session! After a year not being able to watch games together because of COVID-19, we got together to drink beer and watch Duke beat Northwestern! Consistent with our pre-COVID routine, we played old time music during commercials and halftime and decided to record some songs for the first time in a long while. The track listing is below. Consistent with our tradition, we renamed the songs based on good moments in the game!

Track one - Last Steam Engine Train or Holding on by the skin of our teeth

Track two - Big Scioty or Gunnar to Durant

Track three - Walking Up Georgia Row - A whole lotta interceptions

Track four - Fanny Poer or Touchdown Duke

Tim played lead (mandolin and guitar) and I played rhythm guitar. If you guys like this, we'll keep doing them throughout the year.

Can't wait to see you all at Wallace Wade on Saturday! Go Duke!

Before we get started, you'll note that I'm titling episodes differently. We'll now be Episode _.__ (season . episode) as opposed the date of the interview followed by the name of the participant. I'm sure you all immediately caught this and are riveted by the change.

Ryan Wolitzer of The Wolitzer Group stopped by last week to talk about NIL and his work advising athletes through the NIL process.

We also discuss my ongoing desire to have our show sponsored by Karhu. That company makes the absolute best shoes you will ever find. Seriously, Karhu, let's talk!Karhu, let's talk!

We close out Season One with a BANG!

Former Duke captain Koby Quansah stopped by to talk about his time as a Blue Devil, the "What if" seasons that are 2016 and 2018, two great bowl wins and how COVID-19 has affected the draft and and free agency process. I had a lot of fun talking to Koby and getting to know more about a guy who always made an impact on the field. This was a great discussion with a Duke legend. I know you'll like it.

We also talked about the Jump Pass. You've been warned.

We also give a shout-out to Ryan Wolitzer of the Wolitzer Group who runs a consulting group for NIL issues. Best of luck on a great career, Ryan!

Thanks to all you guys for listening. We couldn't do this without an audience.

Former captain and defensive lineman Mike Ramsay took some time from his Saturday morning to talk to us about his current life, his college and pro football career and the start of his fiancé's legal career. One fun fact - he played for the Orlando Apollos and Coach Spurrier!

Mike played at Duke from 2013-2017 and experienced a lot of great moments in Blue Devils football history. We covered those along with the injury-riddled 2016 season and the up-and-down 2017 season. And before you ask, yes, we talked about Miami. You've been warned.

Beyond the football talk, we had an interesting discussion about financial literacy, the social issues that are tied into our education system and we get into one of the most informative history podcasts ever, the Revolutions Podcast series on The Haitian Revolution. If you're not interested in this discussion, just skip over 8:53-17:12. I enjoyed our talk, but understand that some of you may be here for just the football. If you don't want to listen, that's fine - skip past it. Don't blow me up with negative emails, Twitter mentions and the like.

Going back to Haiti's revolution, the first episode can be found here. I can't recommend this series, and the entire Revolutions Podcast, enough. Mike Duncan is a great podcaster - start listening to him if you haven't already.

You all remember our first interview with Lee in which we discussed, among other things, politics and sports.

Lee was kind enough to return to discuss Spring football, Duke's coaching staff changes and what to expect from the Blue Devils in 2021. You'll get some good insight into the life of a Duke football student-athlete and what the team tries to accomplish in the "offseason". Lee also gave us his thoughts on NIL laws and the Blue Devils' new AD, Nina King. This was a fun talk that we hope you'll enjoy.

What else do I need to say about why you should listen to this interview?

In this hour plus interview, Coach Latina discusses his career in football, some of the great players and coaches he's been around, why he retired and we get into one of the worst blown calls in officiating history. And we also discuss Duke-Miami 2015. I can't thank Coach Latina enough for taking time on a Friday night to do this interview. I had a blast and I know you will, too. (And thanks to Jenn Holmberg for making this happen!)

You'll notice the date in the title is for Friday, 6/25, which is when we recorded it, and not today, 6/26, when I posted it. That's because we wrapped up late on Friday and I edited it this morning. Enjoy!

We hope you enjoy a really fun talk with Joe Ajeigbe. I'm sure you remember Joe from his time at Duke. He was on the team from 2013-2016 before transferring to Sacramento State for his final year.

During our interview, we discuss the transfer portal, the business of football, the life of a student athlete (after listening to him explain the football schedule, I don't know how you guys are able to balance football and academics. Hats off to you guys for doing it because it sounds close to impossible) and, of course Blue Devils football. Joe's in law school, so I apologize for the, at times, esoteric discussion about legal communication. Oh, and we talk Miami.

This was a very informative talk that we know you'll enjoy. Thanks, Joe, for taking time to do this interview. It was a blast.

Former Duke quarterback Thomas Sirk took some time out of his Saturday morning to talk with us about his current life, his time with the Blue Devils and his recovery from three Achilles injuries. As you might expect, we covered some great wins including the Pinstripe Bowl and the 4 OT victory against Virginia Tech.

Thomas also shared his thoughts on Duke's new AD, Nina King. Turns out he's impressed! This was a good talk that I think you'll enjoy. Thanks again, Thomas, for taking time to talk Blue Devils football with us.

You all remember Takoby Cofield from his time at Duke where he was part of a talented and hardworking offensive line that sent four players, including himself, to the NFL.

Takoby was kind enough to take some time out of a Saturday morning to talk about his professional career in the NFL and CFL, his current job coaching and developing offensive linemen through both TC3 Performance and being the OL coach / running game coordinator at SE Raleigh Magnet High School, the Duke experience as a student and a student-athlete and, of course, Blue Devils football. We do a deep dive into how the program turned a corner in 2012 and his thoughts on what to expect from Duke next season. Not to give away the ending, but I'm excited.

This was a really fun talk that covered a variety of topics. We hope you enjoy it.
