I'll admit, K-ville and the Crazies have its fair share of people who would like to be on TV, but that's not why I have been out since Dec. 6 ("No country for cold men," Jan. 14). Most of us are there for the team. Duke has a rich tradition of having the best fans in the country and we want to continue that. We aren't called the "6th Man" for nothing. Coach K and the players truly believe our presence helps them on the court. Once I leave Duke, I won't be able to cheer on my team from the front row and be so close I feel like I'm in the game-so for me, it's worth the two to three months of sleeping in a tent or on a sidewalk, and I'll never regret it. David Distenfeld doesn't have to like us and doesn't have to join us, but he could at least respect us.
