Duke vs Stanford
Someone has to start the thread so it may as well be me. I'm off to North Carolina on Wednesday to join the festivities at Wallace Wade on Saturday. I'm still excited...

Re: Duke vs Stanford
Life goes on! Looking forward to seeing you, Bob!
I'm still thinking over what happened on the field last night, but remain an optimist. Whatever else happens, it will be interesting to see the QB who's mentioned in so many conversations.

Re: Duke vs Stanford
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 first half we will see!

Re: Duke vs Stanford
Any of you all hear any reports on how big of crowd is expected for the Stanford game? I plan to be there early to beat the traffic and parking congestion, and enjoy tailgate of course, but it would be nice to know if a big crowd is anticipated. I can't imagine many Stanford folks making the cross country trip.

Re: Duke vs Stanford
I'd bet about 25K but that's a guess. I'll wager they have some promotion planned like Military Appreciation, youth football or Band Day but no prior knowledge. We usually arrive about 3 hours pre-game and have little difficulty parking. You could always arrive about 7AM and help CB&B, TNTDevil and CowboyDevil set up the tents and grills .Bob Green wrote:Any of you all hear any reports on how big of crowd is expected for the Stanford game?

Re: Duke vs Stanford
The Murky News in San Jose had this to say about the SJSU-Stanford game on Saturday:
The Herald-Sun in Derm had this to say about the Duke-Richmond game on Saturday:
Notice any similarities? Here's another one: Mike MacIntyre, the head coach at SJSU, was the defensive coordinator at Duke under Coach Cutcliffe before heading out to SJC. I hope that our final score this coming Saturday isn't similar to the 57-3 drubbing that Stanford put on SJSU.
Jet lag! I'm hoping that the Cardinal suffers from jet lag on Saturday.

“Which is too many for critical errors,” Cutcliffe said. “The rest of the snaps we played pretty good. Most of our upperclassmen were involved in those critical errors in some form or fashion.

Re: Duke vs Stanford
Did he say anything about the shitty play calling and the shitty clock management? I thought both of those were critical errors.CathyCA wrote:The Murky News in San Jose had this to say about the SJSU-Stanford game on Saturday:

One of the critical errors, Cutcliffe admitted, falls on his shoulders. At the end of the first half, the Blue Devils ran one play with 10 seconds left rather than kick a field goal. The play was a completed pass short of the first-down marker and the half expired with Duke on the Richmond 10.
“The one in the first half was really my fault,” Cutcliffe said. “I had a route called to go to the end zone. But they blitzed and the quarterback did what he was taught to do and threw underneath.”

Re: Duke vs Stanford
That's one of the things I like about Cutcliffe; he holds himself accountable. There was still lots blamed on the team, some of it deservedly so, but I really hated our gameplan on Saturday. He didn't take all the responsibility that I would have liked, but I am not suprised to see him take blame.CathyCA wrote:As a matter of fact, yes:

Re: Duke vs Stanford
This doesn't effect me - right?
http://blogs.newsobserver.com/crosstown ... y-for-good
I believe I can still exit off I-40 West at 279B and onto NC 147N to Chapel Hill Street (Exit 13), but confirmation from you local folks would be appreciated. I don't need to be hunting a new route to Duke on Saturday morning. I remember the old days of my youth and taking US 401 to NC 55.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Duke vs Stanford
You're in good shape. 147 going into town from I40 is a northside exit. What is described in the article has to do with the southern side off of I40.Bob Green wrote:This doesn't effect me - right?
