    duke football news

    Great article in the Chronicle. Really makes you appreciate what it took to get the program to where it is now. https://share.google/kjne3YCiP6a3TN8oe

    Hot Seats

    NIL has leveled the playing field. Lots of kids are no longer going to a school just because it’s a traditional power or has a great coach. Virtually anybody can do what IU has done in football (not to denigrate Cignetti, because I think he is a great coach), because their money is as green as...

    This board is on life support

    Until last year, Brown didn’t have any significant injuries. I can’t label him injury prone at this point. I expect him to get lots of PT, won’t be surprised to see him and Pat on the court together a lot. OFC

    The switch

    And it shows me as new member as well. Not impressed with On3’s transitioning skills.

    Mine transferred over, but I had to recreate my avatar.

    Duke baseball -- 2025 season

    I’m somewhat concerned about who Pollard takes with him via the portal. Tallon, Gracia, Nard, Johnson, Winslow, Proksch and Zatkowski are all underclassmen who played big roles this season. Not to mention we had a highly rated freshman class, most of whom didn’t get much PT, but would have...

    Duke baseball -- 2025 season

    I agree. Do what Northwestern did with their football stadium rebuild and make a temporary facility for 1-2 years. OFC

    Duke baseball -- 2025 season

    Miller hit a couple of balls right on the screws but right at somebody, so I’m confident he’ll be fine hitting today. What can you say about Johnson (our own Dusty Rhodes, for those old enough to remember or know who he was), Prosch and Easterly? So clutch! Hopefully Gracia’s return will add...

    Duke baseball -- 2025 season

    So boiled down to its basics, we may be without our 2 best offensive players tomorrow. Gracia will be back Sunday, but Miller still sounds like a day-to-day case. Oy. OFC

    Duke baseball -- 2025 season

    You’re correct about the “why”, but the rule classifies it as “runner interference” because he touched the wrong bag. That suggests it wasn’t necessary to touch him as he ran back to first, but i can’t confirm that.

    Duke baseball -- 2025 season

    Perhaps the most surreal inning I’ve ever seen. Highlights for those who didn’t see it: Duke down 2-0 in the bottom of the 8th. Star CF Gracia hits a HR to make it 2-1. He gets to wear a construction helmet with “Duke“ on it. Harris hit a 2-rbi single to give Duke the lead. Duke players run...

    Off-season thoughts

    I said the same after ‘99, but we managed to win 3 Nattys after that. And if i died tomorrow, i would go to my grave saying our 2 best teams were the ‘99 team and this year’s team. You just never know. From where I’m sitting now (not dead yet), i think we’ll be in the mix. Remember, last year...
