0-11, 0-7 ACC

we need the "research triangle trifecta" of coaches fired

but it could be worse, Roof could have had big bitch tits and promised the world before he put the program in the shitter

11/18/2006 6:02:13 PM

looking bad

11/20/2006 8:37:52 PM

4-0

Duke played like a bunch of freshmen

11/20/2006 9:05:48 PM

Great defense tonight. Air Force is a really good team that ^ isn't giving any credit.

11/20/2006 9:07:17 PM

tonight, we see how good this team really is

11/21/2006 9:54:59 PM

Air Force beat a great Texas Tech team tonight for those of you who aren't claiming that was a quality win and a great first test (cough NCSUStinger cough)

11/21/2006 9:59:24 PM

like i said, this is the first real test for Duke

11/21/2006 10:30:38 PM

prepare, everyone who hasnt talked shit will now flood this thread

11/22/2006 12:11:07 AM

4-1, 0-1 in real games

11/22/2006 12:20:42 AM

stop padding troll...you can edit your post

duke will get it together...they can't win with 20 turnovers though

11/22/2006 12:29:29 AM

O dear, the sky has fallen. Good teams never lose! This is the end of Duke as we know it.

im not a troll, and even if i am thats still better than being a fag like you

11/22/2006 1:03:41 AM

im still pretty confident that duke will win 25 games this year

11/22/2006 1:07:14 AM

im sticking with 23

11/22/2006 1:19:08 AM

The A-list is:
Gonzaga

11/22/2006 11:38:25 PM

im sad that duke lost,

but the unc loss makes up for it

11/23/2006 1:24:50 PM

Let's get back to the original topic, Duke football.

I think that Duke would be better off if they went to an offensive scheme that relied on a sort of deception, something like the flexbone system that Navy runs. I don't think they would win a championship with this, but they could compete for a while with this sort of scheme. If Duke were to get a quarterback from the high school ranks that could really run this offense and execute all of the fakes that it requires then they could actually win a handful of games every year.

Bottom line, I don't think Roof is the problem, I think the offensive system is the problem (Remember, Roof is a defensive guy).

11/23/2006 3:37:28 PM

0-12, 0-8 ACC

fuck roof, fuck the special teams coach, and fuck whoever gave him more time on his contract

5-1, 5-0 against shit teams

im having a pissed at life day, cant you tell

11/25/2006 11:47:09 PM

hah. Duke would have kicked our asses today.

11/25/2006 11:48:23 PM

6-1

not pretty, but a win

11/28/2006 11:21:29 PM

11/29/2006 2:15:10 PM

^is that a graph of where has been or something over that time??

the only reason i guess that is their recruit singler is from oregon or washington and there is some red up there

11/29/2006 2:18:27 PM

probably have an extra ticket for the Georgetown game tonight....PM me if you want to go, I won't be back on until later this afternoon. The catch is that you must actually be a Duke fan.

12/2/2006 1:01:43 PM

fuck man, why you always gotta do that shit when im out of town

12/2/2006 3:08:16 PM

New Jersey

12/2/2006 3:09:38 PM

7-1

this team isnt graceful at all

but they won

12/3/2006 7:42:15 AM

i thought it was pretty awesome of coach K at the end to get the crowd going and get them to really congratulate this team. it wasnt pretty but man they beat a really good team and played really hard to do it.

12/3/2006 11:38:01 PM

8-1

another win

12/6/2006 9:55:14 PM

If by win, you mean gift.

12/6/2006 9:55:41 PM

yeah that too, im more worried about this team than i have been in recent years

12/6/2006 9:56:37 PM

Paulus is going to get eaten alive when hes having to guard the likes of Lawson and Singletary. He's not creating anything off the dribble either on offense.

12/6/2006 9:56:48 PM

I'm glad we've got the defensive end going great. I'm confident the offense will come around.

[Edited on December 6, 2006 at 10:09 PM. Reason : great defense]

12/6/2006 10:08:43 PM

holy shit, way to "handle" holy cross

12/6/2006 11:21:28 PM

very much a sign of this team playing to the level of its competition. they got to find a way to open up the offense some.

12/6/2006 11:26:01 PM

Holy cross is not a bad team. Definately the type of team that has been beating powerhouses all season. See: oral roberts and Gonzaga.

12/7/2006 1:58:58 AM

are you comparing gonzaga to oral roberts and holy cross? gonzaga is hardly on their level in the bball world.

12/7/2006 4:23:44 AM

where is jamal boykin(sp)

12/7/2006 6:29:32 AM

^LA with mono

^^other than media hype and morrison, who is gone.

12/7/2006 7:45:57 AM

will he be back anytime soon

12/7/2006 10:46:19 AM

other than media hype and redick, who is gone.

12/7/2006 10:57:26 AM

When Redick was her you guys said he sucked and now that he's gone you guys act like Duke was just a flash in the pan all because of JJ.

Oh yeah, and the multiple Sweet 16s and Elite 8s and handful of players they put into the NBA the last decade. Holy Cross is a fringe Top 100 team with a chance to win the Patriot League this year.. nothing more. Duke is in a world of trouble when they play good, athletic teams if the offense doesn't wake up.

You can talk about the great defense all you want but when they play a team that has an athletic guard tandem they are going to be in a lot of trouble unless McBob and Paulus decide to start playing like McD's AAs on the offensive side...

12/7/2006 4:12:12 PM

9-1

good win, but things still need to improve, Nelson bailed them out tonight

12/9/2006 10:12:11 PM

Anybody hear about Boykin? He got mono and went back home to LA to "recover" and this week he called coach k and said he's not coming back. I know he wasn't going to get any playing time but the way he did it just seemed like a baby move to me.

12/9/2006 11:11:51 PM

Quote :

"DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke's inexperienced front court just got even younger. Duke announced Friday that sophomore power forward Jamal Boykin has decided to leave the school. Boykin, 19, came down with mononucleosis in late November and has missed the Blue Devils' last six games. The 6-foot-7 forward played in Duke's first three contests this season, averaging 1.3 points and 4.0 rebounds. "Jamal is a great young man, and we wish him the best in his future," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We're friends and we totally support him through his illness, his impending transfer and whatever family concerns he has." Boykin will leave a Duke front line comprised entirely of sophomores and freshmen. Sophomores Josh McRoberts and David McClure and freshmen Lance Thomas and Brian Zoubek have seen the majority of the playing time up front. "

sounds to me like there are things going on that make him want to stay close to his family

12/10/2006 1:06:38 PM

his mother is really sick back home, he realized he is not going to see much playing time if he stayed around, especially with the incoming class for next year. And, if he leaves, he can redshirt this year, go ahead and start school near home, and be playing by mid-season next year. There was basically no reason for him to stay.

12/10/2006 1:51:54 PM

coud have been 2-4wins if the basketball team played football

12/10/2006 3:41:51 PM

Ya, I never knew Nelson was a better qb than paulus until yesturday. Everyone wanted him.

12/10/2006 3:44:14 PM

nelson wasn't a better qb...paulus was the #1 qb and #1 pg in the country

nelson was all-state and all-america his senior year

paulus on the other hand,

Quote :

"was heavily recruited by the nation’s top football programs as well ... a four-time all-state, All-CNY and all-league selection as a quarterback ... held six New York state records, including career passing yards (11,763) ... had 152 passing touchdowns in 45 career games ... led CBA to a 42-3 four-year record, including a 13-0 mark and the NYSPHAA Class AA championship as a senior ... named the 2004 Gatorade National Football Player of the Year ... collected All-America honors from U.S. Army, Parade and Student Sports ... second team All-USA Today selection in 2004 ... starting quarterback for the East squad in the U.S. Army All-America game ... New York Class AA and CNY Player of the Year as a senior ... named MVP of the Class AA Championship game ... named the National High School Coaches Association senior athlete of the year."

don't believe everything an announcer tells you, but i've never heard anyone say nelson was a better qb than paulus (it's a moot point anyway, but paulus is > )
