It won't let me like the OP more than once.

I have looked through DHusks' thread several times since yesterday and I end up with a smile on my face each time. Please keep us updated on how he's doing.

BTW, what's the record for "likes" on this site? Seeing that list has made me like and enjoy CIS even more. We all go at each other other over Al Golden's weight gain or 3rd down coverage, but we still know what the important things are.

look at the class acts on this team and we were the ones being investigated by the ncaa. good call, robinson
 
Thank you for sharing you and your sons story. I saw tweets about this while it was happening. Your son will be in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you all the very best!
 
Excited for today, not so much about the banner, but whatever. See y'all in a few hours.
 
Carter had a blast. Duke in fact gave Carter the ball from the long run. Will post updates later, we are spent.

I mentioned on the game thread but I was hoping he'd get the game ball. Glad he had fun. Wish more fans could have turned out for the game to see him lead the team out.

Kind of a spoiler here, but whatever. We were on the sidelines for the first offensive and defensive series. On the actual sidelines, we were rocking with the players before the opening kickoff. I put Carter on my shoulders so he could see what was going on. After the punt from the defensive series, our escort told us we had to get off the sidelines and up to the box. I was yelling at Duke on our way off the sideline, "Let's get it Duke." Yelled at him twice. He grabbed his helmet and went to the huddle with Yearby running behind him.

At this point they are still in the TV timeout. Finally we get into the concourse on our way to an elevator, and we hear the crowd going bonkers, Taylor (Make a Wish rep, die hard Canes fan btw) and I look for the nearest TV, enough time to see Duke streaking down the middle of the field for a score.

I tell our escort, "Dude, Duke will be looking for Carter, because he said he'd give Carter the ball if he scores!!!!!" He said he had to take us up. So we end up going up, and they started giving us flak about clearances security wise. In the middle of the "this is Carter Hucks" malarchy, our escort gets two calls, one he ignores, the second he answers. He looks at us and says that Duke is wondering where the **** Carter is, and HE wanted us back down there. So we go back down.

On the way to the sideline, I saw the ESPN guy that they had there and told him to follow me, had tell him like 4 times, he grabbed his camera.

All of the players were yelling to Carter as we were coming on to the sideline, "Duke is looking for you!" We see Duke coming ball in hand. They shared a moment that the ESPN guy was able to catch (FOX missed it I believe, and I'll post a pic later). It was epic. I told Duke what happened, and I told him thank you, and expressed how much it meant to us.

He looks me square in my eyes and said, "I told you I got you........." That was Duke's longest career rush at the University of Miami.

Got real dusty.

I'll post the full day tomorrow evening, tired as **** from this week.

What an incredible experience for Carter. So proud of Duke and all the Canes who went out of their way to make it so special for him. Prayers for Carter and your family.

Say no more my brother say no more! This was vivid. Wow. We didn't need any more reasons to love Duke, but this is literally why we love him. Carter is the man. I am glad it all happened like that for him. So special.
