    Time to shock the world. (Or, pleasantly surprise the fan base)

    Anyone know when fall camp begins?

    Go Duke.

    We've got 'em right where we want 'em...and I say this only half jokingly. To quote a line from one of the greatest all time cult movies Army of Darkness, "come get some."😁

    If memory serves me, even in our good years we were always picked to finish toward the bottom. If the sportswriters were that good at prognosticating they would be professional bettors.

    I wouldn't bet against them this year, though.

    Its always fun to root for the underdog! If I were a betting man, Duke may do well against the spread.

    I did a little digging and it looks like the last time Duke was picked last in the Coastal was... 2013. Of course, we were coming off of a bowl appearance and had some genuine star power returning in Crowder, Vernon, Cockrell, etc.

    I'm confident Duke will finish behind Miami and that lot down the road. We also look to be behind Virginia/VT/Pitt, although there's no reason we shouldn't be competitive against those teams. And then there's GT and Duke, who unfortunately appear to be on opposite trajectories. With modest improvement, avoiding the cellar is possible. With significant improvement, moving into that middle tier should be the goal.

    Duke football isn't for the faint of heart. We try to enjoy the games, but we keep expectations very low. Once again we're breaking in a new QB, even though it's his fourth year in the program.

    Low expectations; that’s the key to being Duke football fan. That way; any win is celebrated (maybe goal post worthy) and losses are ho-hum.

    Durant named to the All-ACC Preseason team. He's the only Duke player to make it.

    I’m looking forward to seeing Durant as the starting running back. On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Josh Blackwell is a player to keep your eye on. He has had injury issues but when healthy he is a playmaker.

    I wish Bobo had more speed because the guy can sure catch the football. Great hands and good route runner.

    GoDuke!

    Duke has added a fifth-year senior running back for the 2021 season.

    Nakeie Montgomery.

    Prepare to be shocked.

    Nakeie Montgomery's Football Stats (High School)
    https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/nak...ball/stats.htm
    One season of varsity football at Episcopal School of Dallas. Ran for 88 yards on 7 carries in 2 games. Also 4 receptions for 21 yards. 1 TD.
    One run of 97 yards... so the other 6 runs netted -9 yards. Clearly he only scratched the surface so there are many unknowns.
