If you wait four days you're gonna miss it. It's three days away.

Back when I lived in the dorm, we had a way of counting the days until big events. We didn't count today and we didn't count the big day itself. Using that method, there are only TWO days until the first game!

Blast, nevermind! I suppose today is already over.
I like Devil in the Blue Dress's way of counting.

I said it at 8:30am, so I was counting the day in front of me.

From a confidential PM from a current FB manager: (paraphrased and summarized)- Expect some REAL surprises/changes from last year when our Devils take the field on Saturday evening... ;)

I'll tease you some more later today and Friday and reveal some possible scenarios after about 4 PM on Saturday...

All of my life, some friends and family have complained about my "infernal" optimism, especially related to Duke football. I've started every season thinking this is going to be the one that takes us out of the terrible, dark valley the program slid into over several decades. This year really is going to be that season! I can't wait to see some more teams fall to Duke's rise from the ashes!

GO DUKE!

On another football note, did any of you read on another web site the front page stories among the football links? It's the front page with a great picture of Art Heyman.

The Duke - Carolina game is Carolina's Homecoming game! The UNC student gov't president is organizing a street parade for the first time in years. Though the grand marshal's name wasn't included in the article, he will be a member of the 1959 team.... that's the infamous team who came into then Duke Stadium to beat Duke 50 - 0 on national TV. (Their inspiration was the death of their beloved coach Jim Tatum from Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever following a hunting trip earlier in the year.) That game is going to be a great opportunity for Duke!

The opening ceremonies in a nearby stadium take place an hour before Duke kicks off. That should be enough time to clear away the debris! Maybe we should keep an eye on the sky until we're sure they've kicked off over there.......

Having it happen two years in a row would be just way too funny. One can always hope!

A parade? For some reason, the parade from Animal House came to mind.

We don't want any of our players injured while they warm up! Imagine you're warming up on the field for the first game under a new coach and skydivers start landing unexpectedly........

Perhaps a contingency of us Dukies should show up to the parade decked out in Duke paraphernalia.

That could be more dangerous than Halloween night in Chapel Hill!

I'll start with one of the more innocent statements: The freshmen who will be playing/in the rotation are highly deserving of their roles and are GREAT ath-a-letes.

More later... ;)
