Hi,

I was looking at the rivals rating service and it appears to me that there is no material difference in recruits between Duke and Boise State University. We both seem to get the same number, more or less, of two and three star athletes. This has gone on for a while (unless I am reading the rating service incorrectly, something that is entirely possible). However, BSU and Duke have not had the same success on the gridiron. In fact BSU's stock seems to rise as Duke's plummets. Is this entirely due to coaching? Is it the league we play in compared to the WAC? In some ways I think the WAC might be harder this year. Nevertheless, I think a lot has to do with having a disciplined football team. I don't think Duke shows a lot of discipline on the field (at least when I look at off-sides and other penalties that coaching could take care of minimizing or can they?). I'm tired and I realize it is basketball season, so maybe nobody really cares anymore and it is time to focus on hoops.

GO DUKE FOOTBALL!

GO DUKE!
