Temple is 8-4 and a very solid team. We need to get players healthy.

Temple will be hiring Manny Diaz to be their new head coach. Details still being worked out. Press conference tomorrow (Thursday) to announce the hire. ;;)

Maybe it will rain. :D

Who will be coaching Temple, though? Geoff Collins is off to GT, but PJ is coaching their bowl game on the 26th.

I saw on Twitter Jordan Hayes (#13) is a grad transfer to Central Florida. He is off the roster and will not play for Duke in the bowl game.

I wonder if UCF asked him not to play. A bowl is a reward to the team for a successful season, one would think he would want to be part of it. Interesting.

Uniform: Blue Helmet with Duke in script, Blue Jersey, White Pants.

Tweets by Steve Wiseman indicate Joe Giles-Harris is doubtful to play in the game.

Rained quite hard last night and continues this morning... remnants of the storm which went through Dallas yesterday. Forecast indicates that rain should stop between 10:00 and 10:30 this morning. ;;)

I did my best! ;;)

The weather was balmy with sunshine much of the time. The people of Shreveport are so friendly and glad to have us here. A fantastic time!

Way to go, DITBD!!!!! Good job, Duke!!!!

That second half was really fun.

I have the feeling Daniel Jones will be somewhere else next year, but he went out with a bang. :9f:

That was a very fun way to end the season. So many what-ifs with our injuries this year! The announcers made a great point about the 2020 class of QBs that will be in the draft, and I think DJ made a very strong case for himself in front of a lot of scouts yesterday. He needs to go follow a dream to play on Sunday while the getting is good.

True to Cutcliffe's words, they "never went away". Wake up Durham and Duke students! Fill WW next year. You're missing a terrific time and this program deserves it!
Love, Ima
