Tech favored at Duke

this "CPJ REVENGE OMG" circlejerk needs to die. How'd that work w/ Van Gorder?

What? Nobody said anything about that. Saying we hope/think the team will come out angry and playing to prove themselves is not the same thing as what you're talking about, at all.

I mean in general. Same thing happened last year w/ Duke.

Eh, doesn't bother me much. I've always taken it as saying that given the opportunity, there are certain guys against whom Johnson will not let off the gas. Van Gorder would have been one of those, along with Cutcliffe last year. If we're up by 20 on Duke in the 4th quarter maybe we see a few more deep passes than we might otherwise expect but that's about it.

And I think that's a myth. We're kinda building this fan fiction around CPJ that's not really there. And then it makes it harder when we lose a game. Like I'm seriously thinking about going down to Hudson Grille tonight and asking him how it feels to be in 21st century.

If we're beating Duke by two touchdowns towards the end of 4th quarter, he'll have the second string in. Unless he thinks the 1st string needs more practice. I doubt he'd be worried about petty öööö while getting paid that much money to be a professional.

I think you're saying the same thing I'm saying. We've seen CPJ pass when up big late, doesn't mean he's doing it over petty things. He might make some passive aggressive remark afterwards or something but no, I don't think he's overly concerned with stuff like that in-game.
 
With Duke's loss to NW, there should be 12 fans in attendance in Durham.

Duke did a öööö good job of shutting us down last year, especially the JT/option based version of us.

Does Cutcliffe have the Blueprint?

I'd say we came out flat after an emotional win over Miami. The refs did all they could for Duke. Also, wasn't there a long rain delay? If I remember correctly, even the crowd wasn't much into it except for booing the refs.
 
As much as it pains me to say this, Duke is not an easy out. Even though they lost a key LB in the preseason, Cutcliffe will have them ready to play. The ACC Coastal is still in play and their schedule is far more favorable than ours.

We better forget about last weekend and focus on getting better this week if we expect a win on Saturday.

Agree this is not going to be an easy game. If we aren't a helluva lot sharper than we were in South Bend I don't like our chances. Duke does not have ND's firepower, but they are disciplined and don't normally shoot themselves in the foot.

I think CPJ would take pleasure in hanging 100 on them, but that can't happen with guys blowing 70+ assignments like last week.
