Do we look Canadian?
LOL, low blow, OPK, to our friends north of the border. But, hey, they were just emulating Bill Belichek and the NE Patriots. I mean, it worked for them, right?

A couple of recent photos I saw shared on twitter seem to indicate that the work has only just begun on this project. The end zone box and its small scoreboard are still there, but are in the process of being removed. This seems like a big project to complete in a month.
That really looks ridiculous and poorly engineered. I can't believe they would be doing something like this in one month after having spent so much on the recent renovations.

I bet Chris Pollard agrees.

A rebuilding Duke football team is picked to finish 11th in the ACC Preseason Poll, announced earlier today.

Edited to add: Duke also finished 11th in possibly a more important metric, distance from an In-N-Out burger location.

LOL at the BC 1st place vote
Just wait until the ACC merges with the B1G and the SEC. 11th place will be in the top 5%.
Duke has 7 games against teams ranked above them and only 1 below (@Wake). While some of those rankings don't make sense to me, it's going to be very hard to finish in the middle of the pack with that much imbalance. UNC didn't get a first place vote but BC did?

Love that word. First use I can find is from 1897.
"American Diplomacy on the Bosphorus" in The Outlook (April 17, 1897), who writes (with no hint of sarcasm), as follows:
In what feels like the upset of the century, neither of the 2 California schools ranks as the closest to an In-N-Out. This is almost like if a North Carolina school was not ranked #1 closest to a Cookout or a Bojangles.

Duke Kicks Off Preseason Camp Tuesday - Duke University
Duke opened its 2024 football preseason camp Tuesday with its first official practice at the Brooks Practice Facility.

The word was rejuvenated (intentionally or not, who knows) by one George Walker Bush, our former President. I kind of like it.
