WRL's Mark Bergen here outside the iconic Cameron Indoor Stadium

and over my shoulder you can see it'sheyville

The Duke students put up a tent city in advance

of Saturday's game against North Carolina

Duke has always been a part of my life

So when I got in here it wasn't a question

it was I I knew I was gonna I knew

I would be here because it's really random but I

feel like it's representative of Cayville

In order to hammer down these stakes here um it

frozen the night before so we found an old banana

and we smashed the steaks in because it's frozen

And so it was hammer-like and that's the Caville chart

I've been a part of Cayville all 4 years

I tended my freshman year and then I became a

line monitor after that

Um I I'm just deeply uh motivated by the team

My parents met tempting for the 1992 UNC basketball game

uh so it means a lot to me personally and

I'm I'm happy to continue making Caville a place where

people can meet each other and and have fun

We did the Scion King 2 so we could do

like this like sinless pride

And um I say Evanston is um slim

Coming up right here we have what does it It's

not as clear anymore

At the beginning it was very clear

It's like a little walkway over a boat and so

we have like a little drawbridge here and then we

made this sort of Lion King-esque sign out of boxes

We had an inflatable lion who has since passed away

unfortunately but

And then we have yeah yeah yeah it was a

little bit rough

Are your sleeping bags in there and we're this concerned

Yeah

This is my Duke experience to be honest I wouldn't

have it any other way

And so explaining it to people whether they understand it

or not I love to be called crazy

You can call me crazy anytime

I am crazy and I love it
