That joke's downright wholesome for this day and age, really.
I'm with you. Very excited about this upcoming season, and I don't think we're alone. I suspect a lot of folks have built a dam to stem their optimism after what happened last season. They're being understandably cautious, for now. But, if Duke beats MSU in the Champions Classic and does it with a healthy team and while playing good defense, the dam will burst. There will be a tidal wave of optimism for this very talented team.
