    Front page "Bowl Streak" article

    Y'all should pull it down. There's already a comment noting one error (4 straight bowls, not 3 straight), but there are tons of others: we don't play BC this year, we play UVa and Army at home rather than away, and we don't follow UVa with a trip to South Bend...

    I know copy editing has become obsolete, which is not the same as unnecessary. Fact-checking, however, is absolutely necessary. I mean, Duke football fans know the number of regular season wins the past four years: 6, 10, 9, 7 and also the bowl outcomes (all winnable, but only one win). This article would get savaged if it were a post on the EK Forum.
