Surprised at the 3:30 KO, Bob Green will undoubtedly be happy. (I know I am)
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Thanksgiving weekend means lots of empty seats.
It's not confined to Duke. Private schools as a rule do not care for hosting on Thanksgiving weekend. Your fan base is too scattered. A large state-supported school generally has students, alums and subway alums who live within reasonable driving distance of their school. That's just not the case with a private school, with a smaller, more geographically dispersed fan base.
Process of elimination has our game on ESPN2.
I will be in the midwest visiting granddaughters. This accomplishes two things:
1) Spending time with 4 princesses.
2) Not being tempted to go to the game.
Note to Refs: This is Thanksgiving . . . NOT Halloween! No need for tricks this time!
You can preach about excuse all you want, but that doesn't matter. It was clearly a factor IMO...so whether it's excusable or not, or somewhere in between, is not the point. The point is, it hurt us in that game and it is killing recruiting. Period. Shrink the stadium seating. Shrink the security nightmare. Have the band play between plays like the SEC bands do. Have some creativity on offense. Etc.
Miami is a 6 points favorite in early betting lines.

And #40 Miami is 5.88 points better than #75 Duke in the SRS: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb...9-ratings.html
