You shouldn’t make assumptions because you couldn’t be more wrong on that one. Class of 1973.
You are living in the distant past. Duke was GT’s peer for the past decade which is extremely sad and disturbing. Cutcliff came in the year after CPJ so that’s 15 years ago. Elko’s teams were every bit as good as GT’s his 2 years there.
Until GT shows we are better than Duke we are living in the 21st Century not the 20th Century when Duke sucked, as I hope they do again, sans the Spurrier years.
The “should beat” is tired old thinking. As bad as GT has been for near a decade there are no ACC teams currently we “should be” better than.
Until we start beating opponents year in and year out that notion is fantasy thinking and wishing for days that have not existed for a long time.
