douggie, With all due respect I think your dream might be a tad bit inflated since we've got to make a trip to a place called Death Valley in few days and that #16 AP ranking might be a distant memory.

I guess we will have to put that ACC Championship game on hold for another season.

douggie, At least your Blue Devils didn't get blown out like my Wolfpack did.

A pathetic performance by the Red & White!

I don't know, I felt the butt kick from my seats, then came home and watched the butt kicking from Death Valley and it looked pretty similar from my vantage point. In four seasons against UVA Duke has 13 turnovers, which is very difficult to do even if you try.

douggie, I hear you man about UVA owning Duke in football in recent years and their basketball program isn't too shabby either. BUT, my Wolfpack didn't even belong on the same field with Clemson yesterday.

I guess the only good news for both of us is that Carolina cannot buy a win.

douggie, I realize that AP pre-season basketball rankings mean nothing but congratulations to your Blue Devils for being ranked 4th anyway.

Word! Pre-Season means nothing, nobody will speak up in April and say, "In Pre-Season we were ranked thus and such". I'm happy about the season starting soon!

douggie, I guess I'm out of order even discussing Duke basketball in your Duke football thread even though I'm guessing that Duke basketball is close to your heart. You're right, many people in April won't even remember who lost the national championship game last April and some won't even remember who won it.

@ douggie,

Our football teams are fading fast mainly because neither one of them have any defense.

The ACC remains so out of balance with Clemson continuing to own it.

Pitt ran over Duke today and scoring 54 points was an embarrassment. I'm afraid the Pack is going to drop out of the Top 25 after today too, overall not a good day.

Since there are so many bowl games now for just about any team that goes 6-6 or better maybe our teams will get invited to one of them.

Once again, there is I bright spot today since the Tar Heels go down again!
