Duke Football 2022 (NINE & 4, Military Bowl Champions; 5-3 ACC)

I'm not making a prediction, I just really want us to win. The chances of them being ranked if they beat us is good, and that irritates the shit out of me.

GTHC!!

How sadly prescient.

And it'll help greatly if we don't get the same PoS crew of phantom flags assclowns in stripes with whistles.

ESPN has an article up grading all of the first year coaches so far this season. The ACC/ND obviously have a few, and Elko stands far above them, thankfully.

The article is behind the ESPN+ paywall, but for our purposes, here's the conference shakedown.

Elko/Duke = A-
Marcus Freeman/ND = D+ (I'm going in descending order, so the first guy on our list shows up as barely passing, ha!)
Mario Cristobol/Miami = D+
Brent Pry/VT = D+
Tony Elliot/UVA = D

What a beautiful turnover party!!!!

The success Coach Elko is achieving in year one proves the performance problems the past three seasons were due to poor coaching and not the players.

Wow BC truly sucks. So of course I will be upset if Duke overlooks them, but more than that, I want to see us put a full stomping on them, and do it early. Take any Eagle enthusiasm out of the game in the first quarter, and have it wrapped up by the third.

Duke moves up to 53 in updated Sagarin ratings:

We finally get a Brunchgate with our VT game. Was hoping for 3:30, but I'm happy that it's not another night game.

Greatly looking forward to items like bizkits, French toast (casserole), an egg casserole, assorted breakfast pastries (but no %^&*ing poptarts), bacon and/or sausage somethings, breakfast burritos/enchiladas or whatever you and the crew prepare. Should be a breakfast stout or three and maybe some of this:

Ouch, Eli Pancol will likely miss the rest of the season with lower body injury, per Elko. Also, no Ham once again for BC.

Bad news indeed. Pancol is one of my favorites.
