7.31.21 - Interview with Mike Ramsay

Former captain and defensive lineman Mike Ramsay took some time from his Saturday morning to talk to us about his current life, his college and pro football career and the start of his fiancé's legal career. One fun fact - he played for the Orlando Apollos and Coach Spurrier! Mike played at Duke from 2013-2017 and experienced a lot of great moments in Blue Devils football history. We covered those along with the injury-riddled 2016 season and the up-and-down 2017 season. And before you ask, yes, we talked about Miami. You've been warned. Beyond the football talk, we had an interesting discussion about financial literacy, the social issues that are tied into our education system and we get into one of the most informative history podcasts ever, the Revolutions Podcast series on The Haitian Revolution. If you're not interested in this discussion, just skip over 8:53-17:12. I enjoyed our talk, but understand that some of you may be here for just the football. If you don't want to listen, that's fine - skip past it. Don't blow me up with negative emails, Twitter mentions and the like. Going back to Haiti's revolution, the first episode can be found here. I can't recommend this series, and the entire Revolutions Podcast, enough. Mike Duncan is a great podcaster - start listening to him if you haven't already.
