As always, GO DUKE!
Update on Elko's replacement - Justin Fuente interested. Likes a school that always struggles with local recruits. It will make it easier for him to ruin relationships with local high schools.
This Jay Wright interview, during the game, while Duke and Hofstra are tied, is really, colossally stupid TV by ESPN.
Crazy thought, maybe let us watch the Blue Devils and Hofstra without an interview that could be played at the half?
There are good thoughts here. The way Elko left is pretty lousy. You can wait until the afternoon, call a conference, meet with everyone and then head out. This is not that.
What a great season for
@jak3bobo
! He was on a winning team at UCLA, got to the Sun Bowl and had a career high 817 yards and 7 touchdowns. I hope we see on him Sundays!!!
Thank you DUKE 💙
Excited to have one more opportunity to represent this great university in the bowl game but..
This long journey continues I am officially declaring for 2024 NFL Draft
I wouldn't say it's an disappointing one. I would say it's an all-time what if. But, if Duke gets to 7-5 with this schedule and these injuries, that's a heck of a season.
Thoughts after waking up:
1. You can't win if you don't score points. Don't give up easy points.
2. We can compete with anyone.
3. Elko is my guy.
4. Hope Riley is okay.
Meet Duke Interim Head Coach, Trooper Taylor! Finishing the 2023 regular season at 7-5 overall with 10 players earning All-ACC honors, Duke finished undefeated at home in ACC play for the first time since 1989. Catch Coach Taylor and the Blue Devils at the 76® Birmingham Bowl!
Update on Elko's replacement - Larry Fedora reached out to Nina King. Fedora says he has the blueprint on how to beat Carolina and points to his time as head coach there as proof.
Just a reminder that Duke FB is 6-3 and bowl eligible. Three different QBs have started for the Blue Devils this year. Mood of the fanbase?

Guys, yesterday was an outright theft. Live and on TV. For the second consecutive year. But let's put the game behind us and hope we get to watch our Duke Blue Devils take it out on UVA. As always, GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!
I will defend The ACC as much as possible, but Wake losing these last two games and UVA looking like it's playing offense in 1934 isn't helping the league's perception.
While I am waiting to hear this from two folks I trust, this is HUGE. It could also mean that
@DukeFBFans
will have to call my Dad about Diaz b/c Feeley worked for Diaz at Miami.
Catching up on Revolutions Podcast during the morning run. Can't wait to read Hero of Two Worlds. But got a few books to knock off the list first.
@mikeduncan
Instead of taking an easy FG, we put unnecessary pressure on a backup QB in a high-pressure situation. Instead of being in control, we let FSU have a chance to set the tone. Explain this to me. The key analytical stat should be scoring the most points. Period.
We got an interview!
@HolmbergGunnar
stopped by and we had a blast talking about being a student at Duke and about Duke football. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks, Gunnar, for coming on the podcast. Go Duke!
Excited to be starting a new journey as the Coordinator of High School Recruiting
@DukeFOOTBALL
Forever grateful to the world class staff at FSU for allowing to me to be a part of their family these last few years. Great days ahead in Durham!
As I am working through another close loss for Duke, here are my thoughts:
1. Loftis has a bright future;
2. Wall needs more reps;
3. We need to go under C in short-yardage plays; and
4. It's hard to win when you're at QB no. 3 for the season.
As always, Go Duke!

Posted totals of 162 tackles and three interceptions.
Jacob Monk said he helped Riley Leonard through the tunnel after the game and apologized to him for giving up a sack. He said as a captain he shouldn't do that in such a critical moment. Told Leonard he always be there for him. Not sure about the severity of the injury.

Ran for 601 yards and six touchdowns this season.
How about those 6-3 Blue Devils!!! Big win for a team with a lot of injuries. The team hung around and made just enough plays to win one. What a great spot to be in after 9 games!!!
He packed up and left in the middle of the night. No presser at Duke. No statement to fans. Just gone in an instant. Think about that. I understand it's the norm these days. It's just so icky.
First thing I said on the radio today was thanks to Elko for what he did. I mean that. He made the players love football again. BUT I also pointed out his legacy is a little mixed here. No wins over UNC, no titles (division or conference) and gone in two years.
3. Mike Elko is NO LONGER a part of Duke Football. Grieve in your own way, but realize we all have to move forward as soon as possible.
4. Enjoy all the things this team has done in the last 2 years. (2 bowls/upsetting Clemson/winning records)
Duke can compete with anyone and I love that. The only thing we need is a coach on the sidelines to say, "Hey, just take the points. Don't try and do too much." Elko is our guy. He'll figure this out.
Manny Diaz took Miami to 3 straight bowls. 5-7 after he was let go. I'm just saying to look at Miami's record since the end of Coker's tenure - the program has had its struggles.
Remember that Cut was fired at Ole Miss and he did well at Duke.
BREAKING NEWS
Manny Diaz has taken the head coaching gig at Duke.
I do NOT like the hire. If he couldn’t win at Miami, why would he be able to win in Durham?
