College football Week 1 thread: Chasin’ That Neon Deion Rainbow

Can totally see why Clemson wants more money from the ACC now.

 

So five-loss Clemson?

 

Climpson, the only team that can make me root for Duke.

 

So happy those plucky underdogs from Duke get their upset moment.

 

I think there are more fans in the stadium than two hours ago.

 

When the new Vineyard Vines collection drops.

 

Dabo has remained stuck in the past, refusing to look At JUCO players or using the portal or NIL effectively. He’s done this to himself.

 

Always good to see Dabo lose.

 

I don't know how many have left -- but their 2020 class had 5 5 stars and 12 four stars and was 3rd in the country; the 2021 class had 3 5 stars and 15 4 stars and was 5th and the 2022 class had 2 5 stars and 8 4 stars and was 10. Everyone but about five programs would kill for that

 

Duke's most lopsided win over an AP-ranked team since a 37-13 home win over No. 20 Notre Dame on Dec. 2, 1961.
Duke's first win over a top-10 team since a 21-17 verdict over No. 7 Clemson on Sept.. 30, 1989.
And tonight, they brought back the Ol' Ball Coach, who was in the house.
Clemson has spent the past several weeks riding FSU's secessionist coattails. What kind of merit pool money does the conference award for that performance?

 

Meanwhile, this guy threw for three TDs, ran for two and was 20-25, 239.

 

I was in that stadium the last time Duke beat an AP Top-10 team, which was Clemson in 1989.

Soupy day ... my mother, a Duke alum, and a good friend of hers, a then-Duke instructor who has since retired, left the game early in part because of the weather.

IIRC, their first thought when they heard the final score, was "I wonder if [Sam] is in the middle of it." The students had taken the field and I did watch one of the uprights being marched up the stadium steps and out of Wallace Wade Stadium.

Fun memory ... and while I get Bubbler's point, Duke football is not exactly Duke men's basketball. Not even close.
