The main thing in this game is to not get beat like we did versus Alabama last year, because we all know what happened after that! We can compete, we can at least keep ourselves from being blown out like last season! I am optimistic that we can hang around for at least a quarter or maybe part of the...

I was very dissapointed with Saturday nights results against Richmond! We lost fair and square, but I am not ready to give up on this team just yet! People there are 11 games left in 2011, does that mean were gonna bounce back somehow and beat Stanford? Probably not, but we can compete and we can ge...

16 years ago there was an article in Sports Illustrated about why Miami should drop its football program, now I am beginning to think it would be wise after all this again except worse then the Luther Campbell days of Pay for Play! Randy Shannon warned his players to stay away from this guy that he ...

Can we just give $$ to the cooks for supplies and food? :9f: Yes. Definitely. As was said several times last year, if you're too busy or, your heart just ain't in it, simply put the number of folks in your party. Once at the tailgate, you're welcome to donate whatever you feel is right. I'm guessin...

This is the first Panthers thread I have seen on here. I am not really sure what to think about the Panthers, I have a hard time pulling for them for some reason. I do hope they improve from last season, but there is something about that color of blue they wear, and all the Tarhole fans that pull fo...

I hope we have some sort of an inside game this season! I know we have guards, but the post position is an area of concern, at least to me anyway!

Ugh....I guess on a bright side, doesn't that sorta work into an extra redshirt type year? He gets another year to mature physically. Does anyone know if that's the case? Here's a link: http://www.wralsportsfan.com/duke/story/9892522/ He will lose a year of eligibility so when/if he returns in 2012...

If anything else lets at least beat Wake Forest. My friend at work is a Wake fan, and all I hear year in and year out after we have lost to them was how Jim Grobe has never lost to Duke! We need to beat them at home this year and start a streak against them! Then there is winning at UNC, would absou...

Oh yes....I agree Devil in the Blue Dress its hard to ignore the talent no matter which side of the football it is on, and I'm excited about Laken Tomlinson and the possibilites in our running game. I feel sure he will be opening holes all year long for runningbacks to score touchdowns hopefully! :h...

The key for us Defensively will be several things I think. One, we have to generate pressure on the opposition's quarterback, not allowing ample time for a quarterback to sit back and throw the football all day long. It puts pressure on our secondary to make plays and basically leaves them hanging o...

I agree regarding the importance of hiring of Coach Petri. I think Coach Cutcliffe did the best he could once Mike MacIntyre left for the head coach's job at San Jose State, but when Marion moved on, it opened up the possibility to bring somebody special and move some others around on staff. In ter...

http://sports.yahoo.com/investigations/news?slug=cr-renegade_miami_booster_details_illicit_benefits_081611 Does this call for the 'Death Penalty'? John Swofford is jumping for joy as this Miami scandal will take the spotlight off the Tar Heels. I was thinking the same thing today when I was listeni...

I keep going back to the UNC game when Joe Surgan missed that extra point and the interception that Thad Lewis threw against Miami in that 15-20 loss. We really should've beaten Wake Forest at there place, but had a field goal blocked in the final seconds! Knowing how to play football and knowing h...

This is a pretty cool article posted today..very indepth and analytical. (It has lots of charts!) The author doensn't see 6 wins this year, but does see it as an eventuality. The Coaching Graveyard And The Duke Blue Devils A great coach can win -- and potentially win big -- at a resume-killing job;...

The Running Game will heavly depend on what Laken Tomlinson and Takoby Coalfeild are able to do across the offensive line this yearalong with Kyle Hill those guys will assist in helping Duke finally find the running game it needs to be more consistent on offense!

The Victory Bell is coming back to Durham I think!

I believe we will beat Richmond finally, but I also think we will win 7 games as I said before! Tulane, Wake Forest, Virginia, Georgia Tech, Florida International, and I think this is the year the Victory Bell comes home to Durham, NC we will beat UNC to top 7 wins. The important thing here is that...

I guess this thread is as good as any to put this in. Al Featherston asks five important questions as he looks to this year's season. 1. Can Duke upgrade the ACC’s worst defensive front? 2. Is Sean Renfree an all-star quarterback? 3. Will experience, and a better pass rush, improve the cornerback p...

Interesting enough I also think that when the announcement was made that Butch Davis's Cell Phone records were going to be released I believe UNC stepped foward and said that they would look at them first before anyone else did. They found probably alot of stuff in those records linking Davis to Joh...
