    Time to re-re-re-kickoff our weekly discussions of where to find the ACC Network in everyone's location, including (and it never gets old) some good old Comcast bashing.

    Might be more fun than watching the game.

    Last night was the first game I can ever remember in which I turned the TV off a halftime...may watch some of the second half at cocktail hour on fast forward, get the agony over with quicker. Can't be many Duke highlights without any points.

    To be frank, I'm very much getting the same thoughts I had back in the Roof/Franks era, which is that I feel sorry for the kids on the field. They're in a crappy situation that really needs to be improved, one way or another.

    My wife often asks me why I am watching. Against Miami, I had no answer.

    Duke opens as 4.5 dogs to FSU.

    I’m not sure which is more impressive here- loyalty to the program, or being a glutton for punishment.

    a bunch of us on the board have been season ticket holders for a long, long time (since 1985 for me)...which completely defies logic...it requires a particular mindset, it really does.

    58 years for me - granted I was eight at the time and my dad was purchasing the tickets.

    Is your decimal point in the correct place?

    I snuck in with my no longer valid Student ID in 1977, then they changed the style in 1978, so I bought season tickets. Mike Dunn was an exciting quarterback to watch!
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    My dad took me to my first game in 1966 when I was seven. I’ve been to a bunch more over the years.

    Sadly, this may be our best chance to beat the Seminoles in my and most of our lifetimes (at least under current division alignment). Just hope our attitude and effort is all in; can imagine FSU doesn’t give a s——- about this game.

    Oh, I imagine they have no interest in losing to a poor Duke team.

    If the line is 4.5, I'd wager HEAVY on FSU - if I were inclined to such things.

    Minor correction. Cut's presser was Monday. Some players talked today. Should be up soon.

    Takeaway quote from the press conference:

    We all saw the obvious. You can’t turn the ball over. Too much penetration by the defensive front...
    Turnover Margin is -17. Duke ranks 126 out of 127 teams at -1.70 per game.

    Go Duke. Salvage something from this season by ending the futility of Duke Football v FSU.
