Errherm, better now. Like lambs to the slaughter (see what I did there Chris?), it will be "The Ewes" into the Devils' (secret, underground, liquid-hot magma-filled) lair. Ok...maybe not so good right this moment...
Anyhoo, the Hurricanes blow into Durham and, because it's Duke, the game has no real meaning. Our offense sucks. Our team gets sucked into the Bermuda VORTEX (BA-ZINGA! Chris!
) by the winds of November and we can't win. Nothing to play for...why bother? Sigh...so glad to have basketball. 
NOT
This game is BIG. BIG in every way. For once, and it pains me to say this, but, the game might...just might...be bigger than the Tailgate. If GT loses Thursday night- scratch BIG, think HUGE! (Did y'all see where I said "might"? It's gonna' be close.)
So, we're gonna try to keep pace with this Duke Team with a Tailgate worthy of their efforts. Our tailgate punched State right in the grill (KA-POW!) when we roasted teh Pig. So...Miami deserves the same effort, we're gonna take-away what Miami does best-- Surf-n-Turf.
Weather looks awesome! Right now 18C (64F) with scattered clouds. The clouds should trap the heat of the day and temps will fall slowly after the sun sets.
