Tavern style is traditional thin crust, which is what most native Chicagoans eat. While delicious, deep dish is mostly for transplants and tourists.is that the knee deep variety, or thinner?new neighbor is native Chicagoan who sez he makes great pizza, we'll see.
LOL! I think just to keep this on page 1 when there is no football to talk about, we should turn it into the equivalent of that "The Longest Thread Ever" one that it's in the Off Topic board.
This one has to be among the more prolific threads I’ve ever started, so I support this.
I have been saying this for years! @JasonEvansIt’s January and I’m still seeing Duke Football threads at the top of DBR….am I dreaming or should the site name be changed to Duke Sports Report?
We could give the site a really cool and unique name such as “Julio Vision”
Where is the second pic?
The last time we were ranked anywhere in the final poll of the year, it was a BCS poll.
I did a bit more digging, and Duke was last ranked in the final AP poll at #23 after the 2013 season (10 wins, ACC Championship Game berth, narrow Peach Bowl loss to Texas A&M)…which was indeed toward the end of the BCS era. Before that, you have to go back to consecutive poll finishes in 1961-62.
and I honestly think we deserve to be ranked better than that. But I might be biased.
“might” is carrying a lot of weight in that sentence! (As it is for me too).and I honestly think we deserve to be ranked better than that. But I might be biased.
We were most definitely one of the top 25 teams at the end of the season. On a neutral field, I would take us over all the #19-25 teams in the final poll (UNT, JMU, Iowa, GT, Houston, Tulane, UVA).
Also this is such a beautiful trophy. Man this feels so freakin’ good
Doubt we beat Iowa on a neutral field. Their 4 losses were by a total of 15 points against strong opponents (Iowa State A, Indiana H, Oregon H and Southern Cal A). And they beat a full strength Vandy squad pretty soundly in the Reliaquest Bowl (game was not as close as the 34-27 final would indicate). Elite defense and special teams plus a very strong O-line that allows for them to control the ball despite modest skill position talent overall.
Hey I qualified the Iowa comment in the paragraphs below! But yeah Iowa is good. The others I think are a bit overrated
All good. My wife’s an Iowa grad and a pretty big sports fan so I’m quite familiar with the football team and the Hawkeye Athletic Program generally (we were early riders on the Caitlin Clark bandwagon).
If we didn’t end up making the ACC title game, I’d have always wondered “what if” on that 95-yard fumble. Which as an aside, is the same way I feel about Ross Martin’s misses against VT in 2014. Beating UVA is redemption for all of it, but yeah I’m 100% with you. Except having an Iowa wife. Mine’s UNC. But she went to Duke for grad school so I forgive her. Also UNC girls are hotter. It’s the most underrated part of the sales pitch
