However, us Duke fans courted all the Wake and State fans to vote for Duke. The final vote; Duke first and the tar cheats second. I wish that was the end of the story. Guess what the new team name was? If you answered The Falcons, you won. I guarantee if the tar cheats had won, that ugly ram would have been our mascot. Just another reason I dislike those Cheats.
    Just to beat a dead horse today, I googled schools with blue devil mascots and shocked as to how many we have.

    A lot of Duke-trained teachers back in the day, is the reason.

    I count three in NC (apart from Duke) which is three more than I expected. LOL

    Actually 4; Brevard, Maiden, Mooresville and South Lenoir. And from my experience these are heavily weighted toward Cheat fandom. Hope they all stay Blue Devil schools.

    The evening update indicates that the game will be played tomorrow at Noon.


    I suppose that is subject to change if the haze worsens unexpectedly.

    Virginia is -190 with the total of 12. Surprised that it's that high.

    Healy is the starting pitcher for Duke today vs. Virginia. All other starters are as expected.

    Healy looks sharp. Hope our hitters settle in and stop being so anxious.

    They called that a catch?!

    The ball rolled out of the UVa left fielder’s glove!

    Wide strike zone from this ump, assisting the pitcher with the 3-1 and 3-2 strike calls to Albright.
