Not so Crazy

The Cameron Crazies are not showing up to watch their beloved Blue Devils. An article in The Duke Chronicle pointed out that the student section of Cameron Indoor Stadium has been on a steady attendance decline. So much so, that the athletic department has been selling tickets in the student section for about $65.

“It has nothing to do with the revenue. We just want it to be full,” Director of Marketing and Relations Mike Forman.

The only time the Crazies filled up the student section last season was for games against North Carolina and Michigan State, and that was coming off a national championship.

Coach K has been seen gesticulating during home games this year, and not at the refs.

“The enthusiasm hasn’t been there,” Forman said. “Head coach Mike Krzyzewski has had to drum up enthusiasm himself, which he shouldn’t have to do. The students should be doing that themselves… whether 500 or 1,200 of them are there.”

So, whats up Dukies? Bored with the blue body paint, and choreographed chants?

But still Duke being Duke, they’re are some things they wont do…

“Every other school in the country is playing canned music during timeouts, doing cheesy promotions,” Forman said. “We try to stay away from that.”
