Duke vs. NCCU

[Tizu]

I know, I know but I'm a fan regardless of how bad they are. I'm taking my oldest and middle son to their first college football game and they are super excited because they love Duke. Either way it should be a good time for us to go to a football game together. Just us 3

Duke should win this one fairly easily, but I'm interested to see how they do as the season goes...I expect them to be better each and every year now, whereas before, I knew there was little to no hope. I've got some excitement about the season but expectations are realistic. This is the last year of the "horseshoe"...as the upgrades begin next year. Should be fun!

Since the season starts tonight, I was wondering when somebody would start a thread about opening games in the Triangle. This isn't the one I expected would be first.

haha, I almost started the S. Carolina vs N. Carolina thread, but I figured there's enough hype...we can start a thread tomorrow when the game is in the books and give analysis then.

There was a decent crowd at the game....wasn't full by any stretch though. Duke blanked the Eagles 45-0. Of course the competition was nowhere near what they'll play in the coming weeks, but they looked pretty good. Defense is much improved though the secondary still could use some work. Hard to tell if they are good or if the competition was poor.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.
