I Met Bobby Hurley!

'Tis true, I favor the darker shade of blue. And perhaps no player in Duke University's storied basketball history can claim as much success as Bobby Hurley.

March Madness in full effect, I thought it would be OK to digress slightly from my usual communications and public relations topics and boast about my personal meeting with the star point guard of the early '90s.

To shake the hand that dished out an NCAA record 1,076 assists, hoisted two national championship trophies, and cut down three nets in four years, including ACC and NCAA championships. One of the Top 50 ACC Basketball Players of all-time. In a word: Awesome.
