That's OK with me though. No need to have Duke competitive with GT.

Short sighted comment. We need all ACC teams to be competitive (or at least the top half) .

 

[SoMsJacket]

Only those who have not taken more than one course in Econ could make that statement. Kong Chu about did me in with advanced Econ.

The only thing Dr Chu ever said that I could understand was "equibrum point".

Duke needs to suck in football. Be the Vandy of the ACC

 

[cpf2001]

The ACC needs some more strength at the very top right now but Duke ain’t gonna be that team and we don’t want them being it anyway, fanbase-size-wise.

So they can be one of the bottom teams that needs to be bad instead of pulling off annoying upsets to create logjams at 5-3.

All ACC teams just need to win their OOC games and not lose to FCS, MAC, and Sun Belt teams.

I was illustrating the absurdity of suggesting any major field of study is somehow easy.

Former GT OC Chip Long at Southern Miss

Glad he has a job.

Depends on the program, just like sociology.

Today people share stories in bars, read some on the internet, put too much faith in their own experience, and listen to some strong opinions by fringe “experts,” and honestly believe they are an expert on everything from epidemiology to psychology to theology to investing in the stock market. Every field requires discipline and rigor if taught in a reputable way.

We’re talking about majors designed to protect athletes from having to be student-athletes. In that context, your last bit pretty much negates your entire post.

Good get for Manny Diaz.

Can’t figure out why he’d leave BYU for UVA, do ok with them, retire, then come back to New Mexico

They had an ESPN article on him within the last 6 months. Why he left BYU IDK. Reasons for leaving UVA - He did move back out West with his horses and land so that was part of the reason but also wanted some time off. He is a pretty intense guy and said he needed a break.

There are some ways to run in political directions with this article and the way it’s written. I think the bigger thing it talks about is Elko turning his back on his Duke players in a callous way.
Most of his former players found out he left via news or social media.
Some players may follow him. Others feel betrayed
He didn’t leave as badly as Petrino left the Falcons, but it was similar

When we are betrayed: Who to be and what to do?

We must also honor that we have invisible, moral injuries from how former Duke Football Coach Mike Elko left us.

I haven't read the article yet, but I will. College football is definitely at a crossroads.

I remember back to when Franchione left Bama for TAMU. I was in AL at the time and knew a player on that team. They were very upset with the way he left. Didn't even come back to tell them. Left that to an assistant coach. This after sitting with all of the upper classmen and persuading them to stay through the probation, saying that he was in it for the long haul. Just a bad, bad look.

I had heard he did a zoom meeting.

I had heard he did a zoom meeting.

For four whole minutes.

 

[Techwood Relict]

For four whole minutes.

Elko: So, let me tell you about this great opportunity I have......(describes wonderful opportunity)...... And in closing, I'll be leaving for that great opportunity post haste..... Are there any questions??

 

[g0lftime]

Elko: I secretly hit the coaches transfer portal after talking with my family and the NIL money was just too good to pass up.

Powerful and full of wisdom.

But integrity is not a valuable commodity in today’s college football scene.
