You probably won’t find this on an injury report. The Duke Blue Devil tweaked his knee jumping off the surfboard, but nobody appeared to take it seriously because…well, it’s a freaking mascot with a goofy look on his face. For all we know, he was trying to be funny. We wish the Blue Devil a speedy recovery. Oh, there was a game last night? Sorry, I’ve got the above video on a loop. Gerald ... [link]

The Weakest Mascot Injury We’ve Seen This Year
Published 2/28/2008 by TheBigLead at The Big Lead
... While we were only half-paying attention to the Gerald Henderson dunking exhibition last night in Duke’s 71-58 triumph over Georgia Tech, we missed a classic injury (and not Matt Causey’s - that looked painful). The fellows at 850 the Buzz alerted us to this video of the Duke mascot leaping off a surfboard and spraining his knee. Pardon the schadenfreude, but that’s hilarious. Will Coach K discuss this injury? ...

Published 2/28/2008 by Mark Williams, Jr. at The Jaunt
Duke basketball has suffered a major set-back as their their mascot tweaked his knee following a surfing stunt atop the Cameron Crazies.

I don't know what I can say down here that isn't already said in the headline.  Apparently Duke's mascot -- THE Blue Devil himself -- got some fan help in order to execute his most eXXXtreme stunt yet: stand on a surfboard while Duke students laid on the floor and pushed the Devil-surfer along at a vertigo-inducing height of 12 inches.  Annnnnnnd then he sprained his ...
