Five straight shutouts. WOW! 16-0.

Duke records its 5th shutout in the last 6 games. Can we take some of today's runs and save them for future games when we might need them? The final of 16-0 seems a bit cruel.
Final: Duke 16, Air Force 0
Falcons had bases loaded with no outs in T9 but did not score.

Duke’s team ERA down to 0.153 through 8 games which is just...WHAT?
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But then again, I never really took off
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Are you sure all 11 runs were earned runs.
Edit: It appears 6 of 11 we’re earned runs. Team ERA is .75

The offense and pitching ERA will rise with the temperatures and more game experience.
Big weekend in Minneapolis. All 3 Triangle teams are making the trip. I can't cheer for NCSU as long as we have a chance to host. Of course 9F, 9F, 9F.
<devildeac> anyone playing drinking games by now?
7:49:36<Wander> drink every qb run?
7:49:38<loran16> umm, drink every time asack rushes?
7:49:38<wolfybeard> @devildeac: drink when Asack runs a keeper

Well, the games themselves will be played in good conditions in U.S. Bank Stadium.
From Wiki:
U.S. Bank Stadium is an enclosed stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Built on the former site of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the indoor stadium opened in 2016 and is the home of the Minnesota Vikings (NFL); it also hosts early season college baseball games of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers (NCAA)...
U.S. Bank Stadium hosted Super Bowl LII won by the Philadelphia Eagles on February 4, 2018,[15] the ESPN X Games on July 19–22, 2018, and the NCAA Final Four won by the Virginia Cavaliers on April 6–8, 2019. The stadium is also expected to host the 2020 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
I am confident that Jarvis and Duke would be prepared to play outside against UMN. UNC and NCSU? Not so much because they cancelled on Friday.
as long as Jerry Lundegaard isn't pitching for the Gophers, we'll be fine.
