Duke vs. UNC Game Thread

Who will be watching? I know I will be watching some (gotta catch up on American Horror Story) and I am pulling hard for Duke to win the Coastal. Hopefully they rip UNCheat a new one.

Watching. Duke has a fumble already. But otherwise as expected.

It could be worse.

Plan on flipping between WVU/K State and the Duke/UNC game.. WVU is down 10, so all is well so far

It almost looks like a football stadium tonight.

That's a rarity for the Dukie's, but the attendance wasn't that poor for the tech game either. That probably had something to do with at least 6,000 Hokies showing up though...

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

So between two schools 25 miles apart they can almost fill 33,000 seats.

Ouch.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

I am not rooting for North Carolina, but I think FSU-Georgia Tech would be a better game.

But it would seriously hurt the ACCCG - BofA Stadium will be empty. GT doesn't travel and no one likes watching them either in person or on TV for that matter. Duke still had the feel good story about them coming into this game.

14-0 UNC. 2 fumbles turned into 14.

It could be worse.

Duke is fking up

FiOS is out, Verizon can't figure out the problem, they can't get a technician out until Saturday. WHY?!

Because billing department is still up and running!

It could be worse.

If you have internet you can use espn3 and sign in with your Verizon account.

Gobble Gobble!

Nope. When I called in that couldn't even get a read on my box.
This most likely has to do with my apartment complex changing their electric meters. Somebody crossed a wire somewhere

Well your not missing much... I hate that UNC has to be the team to blow out Duke on national television.

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

...we broke Duke...

"Exit light..."

Tough short week

after a close loss it's gotta be hard to get back up on a short week. I hope duke can getvit back together it's not looking good

tyrod did it mikey! tyrod did it!

Well, they deserved it for breaking us last year!

Duke keeps making mistakes something that they have been good at not doing all year. I don't think they have the firepower to get back into this game. The way duke wins games is by taking care of the football and playing smart. They are not going to win a first to 50 game. Execption: when they played Texas a&m but they still lost.

All Maroon everything

These teams aren't holding onto the ball well this half

then a 15yd punt by Duke...

Williams is trying his best to give keep Duke in this game. I am rooting for UNC because (I think) that puts GT in the ACC championship game and I think they have a shot at beating FSU. Duke has none.

Wait, what?

You'd rather have PJ and his Harry Highschool offense in the ACCCG? With their illegal chop blocking and an offense that even 1930s Notre Dame wants no part of?

The ACC is already an afterthought by the world - do we really want this scenario?

Yes. I want FSU to lose and GT is the only possibility in that game.

Well, I can respect your opinion, but I can't agree with it. Sorry.

For me, Duke is only team in the Coastal that I can tolerate, if we can't win it. And once they become a steady competitor, then I'll hate them, too. And I just can't stand the idea of Paul Johnson winning the ACCCG.

Haven't seen any of the new season yet, but I've heard it's awesome

The last couple episodes have called down a bit, but I can vouch for this. I have very high hopes for the midseason finale

Duke is not coming back in the second half.
Boone just tossed a Int to start the 3rd Q.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

RIP Devils

Dadi Nicolas just sacked Anthony Boone on his way to pick up his helmet.

So we'll have Tomahawk Chop vs. Chop Block O' Clock?

This could really screw with FSU, face GT special style then get ready for whoever they get in either a bowl game/playoffs.

What the time between ACC and first playoff? Bowl wouldn't be an issue.

It could be worse.

Jan 1st then 12th for championship game.

Dec 6th for ACC championship game. So 3 weeks between. Plenty of time to transistion.

It could be worse.

Will end up being less than 2 weeks of pratice, I think spending time getting ready for an offense they hardly ever see then transition to a more traditional offense will hurt them.

Could someone please post the GIF of VT breaking Switzer in half while explaining to UNC the core concept behind spray paint coverage all while integrating the nuances of academic integrity? No such wizard exist...

Although I can't stand UNC I did like their helmets last night.

So someone liked them...amazing.

If there wasn't a big D on the field, I would have no idea whatsoever which teams were playing last night without a close-up.

Two of the most recognizable brands in college sports looking like MAC teams on national TV trying to look hip (ah, if only chrome helmets and black unis weren't so...yesterday). Foolish for UNC, Duke, and the ACC.

....really.... You couldn't tell this was Duke and UNC?

For the record, that UNC heel logo is everywhere in North Carolina. Literally everywhere. And the Duke uniform is one of their standard looks this year, and the same one they wore against us when they looked very much like Duke.

Reading your comments about this kind of thing, I get the feeling you just plain don't like change. I'm guessing you would like it if every team found out one home and one away uniform, with basic colors, and kept that look for eternity.

Fact of the matter is, down here (I live in Raleigh) the fact that UNC had that helmet created buzz. The fact that Duke went with an all black look in recent years, that had created buzz. People like change when it looks good, and these looks were good. And even moreso, they kept their brand identity.

I'm going to assume you were confused about this as well:

The only reason I had to do a double take on the game last night about who was playing was because it was Duke playing a night game. Never did I think they would be good enough to get a showcase game at home on ESPN.

No, on TV, I could not even make out the heel logo.
I don't like the chrome and every team is on the black bandwagon.

I'm not on the black bandwagon. I can see it some but, unless your team color is black, I'd rather see the team colors and some white, some black.

I prefer brown leather, I'm not so much into black motorcycles and cars. perhaps it's just not a color I like.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

so it's safe to say we beat Duke twice in one week!
