Duke football to play Miami instead of FSU (Game Thread)

[chrishoke]

On the road instead of at home as previously scheduled.

I think that's so they can cancel on us Saturday morning after Duke makes the trip to Tallahassee.

Anyone from this esteemed group know if Duke will allow family members of the seniors into the game Saturday VS Miami?

I have heard nothing about allowing fans and don't expect to.

Maybe they get a cut of the travel costs from the hotel/airlines.

So we're playing FSU to make sure they don't lose 3 games off the season? Wake trades ND for FSU in Winston. The ACC Championship will be evaluated on a 9 game season instead of 10, eliminating the problem I referenced earlier in this thread.

Tickets in Tally are $75 if you want to go. This is probably the best chance you will ever have to see us win down there. It's also the only football or basketball weekend where hotels cost less than $100.

I sure hope we don't get anyone injured in these last, utterly pointless games.

Hope Cut and team don’t view it this way😡

I view this game as an opportunity to win our third straight game against the Miami Blowhards! They accepted their cheating win over us a few years ago, and they deserve another thrashing at the hands of the mighty Blue Devils!

It's only fitting. And fair.

The bigger opportunity if it happens is to finally beat FSU. If Too Soon and Clemson can slay the giant in the 2019-2020 basketball season, why not Duke football?

I'm perfectly happy with a twofer.

In light if our current football woes (to complete your Christmas shopping), I was wondering who might be interested in t-shirts with the following design:

On the front - centered - 2013 We're here to win championships.

On the back - centered - top to bottom - 2020 We're here to: receive kicks
reduce turnovers
stop jumping offsides
turn and look for the ball
improve play calling
avoid blockers when blitzing
catch passes
be smarter
play angry
stop being pushovers

College Football News does a good job of previewing games, they see Miami prevailing 44-20...does not seem unreasonable.

Dunno, a bit optimistic best I can tell...

I shall not be arguing with you on this one.

Add "run to the problem."

Duke uniform reveal format on Twitter has been horrible this year. Best I can interpret, Duke will wear blue helmets, blue jerseys and blue pants today.

Blue is good! Let's Go Duke!

Blue - good

Uniform reveal - bad

I hope we practiced our lateraling and our lateraling defense this week.

Seriously, this one will get ugly quickly, and then get worse.

Funny (not really though), but I was just about to say how ugly this is going to end up being. Let's hope we're all being overly pessimistic.
