DISCUSSION
Have you ever wondered how
gameday in Cameron has
changed over the years? Or
how K-Ville grew into a na-
tional phenomenon? Someone
who knows better than most is
Kim Reed, one of the original
founders of K-Ville in 1986 and
a season ticket holder who
has not missed a Duke Final
Four appearance since. Kim,
who appears in HBO’s recent
special on The Duke-UNC
rivalry, was kind enough to an-
swer our questions before the
Duke-UNC game this year...
FOUNDING K-VILLE
BP: What was the policy like to get into games back then?
KR: There wasn’t really a policy. Basically, the first people who get here would get in first. So people would start
lining up a few hours before the game and there were kind of preferred seats. At that time there was a fraternity-
like organization called BOG, which stood for Bunch of Guys. They were really loud and obnoxious and would
sit right behind the visitor’s bench where there was no buffer at that time. The visiting team had to take their
team out on the court during their timeouts because of BOG. That’s why the buffer zone was instituted. The BOG
guys would all get there really early so that they could take their place. The students wanted to get center court.
When I first got here we got killed by Virginia my freshman year with Ralph Sampson. Then every year we got a
Krzyzewskiville then...
