I was only able to watch the replay yesterday, but two defensive play calls cost us all the momentum, and possibly the game: 1) At the start of the 4th quarter, BC at our 29 yard line , 3rd and 1 . We run a goal line defense- with all 11 defenders within 3-4 yards of the LOS. Castellanos rolls...

I just did some quick research on a few coaches who now seem awesome: Norvell at FSU- first year 5-7 Cristobal at UM - first year 5-7 Smart at UGA- first year 8-5 Sarkisian at UT - first year 5-7 Kiffin at Ole Miss- first year 5-5 Heupel at UTn- first year 7-6 Kelly at UCLA - first year 3-9...

I entered in the summer of '68, lived in Towers dorm on the Interstate side, No AC, smelled the Varsity 24/7. Vietnam was raging, hippies were on 10th street. I was on probation after my 2nd quarter, had to talk my way back in by the spring of '69. Couldn't drop classes and still keep my student...

For me, I think "we" have made some incredible changes in a short period of time ! From President Cabrera leading the way, hiring a competent AD, who seemingly hired the best HC we could afford. Then Key has retained much of the defensive staff, leading me to think he will let Thacker and his...

I was scrolling through some IG posts and came across one from the Baaadgers. They had listed all the players they have currently in the NFL. It was a total of 33 o_O. We have 13 currently. They have not been ultra successful recently. Much better than us, but I didn't realize the margin in the...

When I get discouraged by our success (or lack of same) in football, I always google "Duke Football Record by year". My latest results: From 1999-2007 "BC" (Before Cutcliff), Dook- under Head Coaches Carl Franks 7-45, and Ted Roof 6-45, was a combined 13-90 !!! Feel better now ??

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/vad-lee-maulers-qb-pittsburgh-usfl/i1573hn87wafip0vwhzsokta Interesting article about a VERY talented dual threat QB getting a chance to show what he can do..........and could've done ??? Oh well, water over the dam, right ?

Admittedly, I can be overly optimistic at times. I generally tend to be a glass half full type of person anyway. Regarding the new hires ( so far ), I feel they have been good. Especially factoring in the money constraints we must have. I think Long and Tillman are definitely upgrades, and...

Well, that may be the first of two at Clempsun. Elliot may be new HC at UVA......

This has about as much chance of happening , but while everyone is realigning , why don't we get "elite" by forming our own conference ? NERD CONFERENCE MEMBERS East Division Ga. Tech Vanderbilt Syracuse Duke Rutgers West Division Stanford TCU Northwestern Purdue Rice

I am very disappointed in the way we played today ! I knew it was certainly going to be a close game, but our defense looked like last year. We came out unprepared and flat to start the game.......again ! I really had thought we were past that. No adjustments were made in the first half...

Sports talking head Beau Bock is back on the air after his stroke. MANY years ago he coined the phrase that many of you are familiar with - Grandma Talent. For those of you not familiar, it means having recruited( or inherited) enough football talent that your Grandma could win games coaching...

Josh Heupel was hired by new AD Danny White formerly at UCF Good Hire ?

Unfortunately, this team ( for whatever reason :unsure: ) has 5 very glaring weaknesses : 1) Waaaaay too many penalties 2) Waaaaay too many turnovers 3) Waaaaay too many missed tackles 4) Waaaaay too many missed XP and FG 5) Waaaaay too unprepared to start a game Since we have quite a few...

We were not able to see the game in Wisconsin. Looking at stats, I noticed Clayton had 2 sacks. Great to see him on the field more. How did he play overall ?

Perhaps he is one of those coaches who NEVER shows his anger with a player in public. But almost every successful HC has to reach the point of an angry outburst. Kind of like a baseball manager charging out of the dugout to yell at the umpire. Teams sometimes need a kick in the A**, right ? Like...

I haven't seen this posted elsewhere. I thought the performance of both lines was outstanding ! The FSU DL was top notch and our OL moved them around to create running lanes and also gave Sims a pocket to pass from. Our DL ( without Clayton) put pressure on Blackman and slowed down their run...

Was listening to this blog yesterday. They sound like they expect to be playing their scrubs by the 3rd quarter. A couple of guys expect a blowout for them. They seem to think they are WAAAY ahead of where they were last year. No question they have better athletes at some positions, but I am...
