Week 2 - Duke-Northwestern - 9 p.m., 9/6

ConorONeill
Alright, Week 2 arrives with Duke at 1-0 and headed to Northwestern. A small note: The gametime listed is eastern time but the start at Northwestern is 8 p.m. local.

A programming note: Manny Diaz's presser will be Monday afternoon and I'll be there with a quick news story to follow. I have one more story off of Friday night's game that I want to get posted either tonight or tomorrow morning and that link will be in this thread. Hopefully will have a Q&A with somebody from the Northwestern side of things later in the week.

I'm not traveling for this one, so I'll be watching at home and will have a story up on the game late Friday night (technically Saturday morning).

Just to catch you up on some links:

Duke baseball -- 2025 season

Is Duke going to offer the full 34 baseball scholarships?

That rule doesn't start until the 2025-26 academic year, so it has no bearing on this season.

As to whether Duke will in the future ... I'll try to get a specific answer from Duke, but it's very much up in the air for the whole sport. The one thing that everybody seems to agree on is that nobody in college baseball will offer the full 34 scholarships as soon as it goes into effect.

This story from D1Baseball explains better than I can.

You're trying to assign me an hour-long homework assignment for something I have already declared complete crap.

I've told you: The term BIPOC isn't going anywhere. History is going to remember you like old people who still use the term "colored."

LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964. A few months later, the South flipped. Period. Several of them went for George Wallace in '68 -- George frickin Wallace!

I'm doing something a little new this year, posting Pro Football Focus grades for each game.

Here are the grades for Duke's offense | Here are the grades for Duke's defense.

A note: I've skewed from doing these in the past because PFF contorts itself as an exact measure of performance, purely statistical, and yet it's very much subjective. I've pointed out some times over the past couple of seasons how even their counting stats are wrong.

But there is *some* value in posting their grades, I think, with the context that comes with them and making you aware that it's not an exact science.

Also, here's a short interview with Bryce Davis from Friday night.

It's the truth of how the right tokenizes the rare BIPOC who agrees with them. Just like your orange hero (I guess that's BIPOC, in a way), if you like what they say, it becomes Gospel, which goes along with the idolatrous thinking on the right perfectly.

I'm just the messenger.

BIPOC is the lowest of terms you loons have adopted. Some white liberal woman who never lived an hour in diversity probably coined that one. So dumb.

The great party switch is real. You're essentially promoting the next "Lost Cause" to claim otherwise. No point debating.

HE is indeed a free thinker. YOU are using him as your token. I've never heard of him before and I don 't hate him. I think that's fairly evident the way I shrugged off the anti-choice component.

It's not real. Certain people switched affiliations, parties largely remained the same.

I am not using him as a token. I am simply sharing the video, as he and many people like him want. The video is an hour long, you should give it a watch.

It will certainly trigger you, but maybe you can learn something from it.

The great party switch. Hahaha. That is the biggest lie ever. You're ignoring all of the FACTS that he talks about after the big lie about party switch. And that is a very racist thing for you to say about a black man who is a free thinker. He is nobody's token. He does in fact call people like you out for being a fake Christian. That's probably why you hate him. Outside of the fact that he is a black man who isn't tethered to the Democrat plantation.

i agree with devilinside. i have gone back and looked at the box scores and loftis was meh
vs wake
7-19 86yds 1td 1int
vs unc
16-28 189 yds 3td. we ran the ball for 179yds. maye passed for 342yds so how loftis outplayed him i dont know. WE GOT ROBBED
vs uva
26-45 270yds 2td 1 int.
vs pitt
20-37 248yds 2td 1 int

i like loftis but he is no riley. he went 69-129 for the year so he barely completed above 50% of his throws.
belin is in the same ballpark but his one full game he played with a busted shoulder so he is also an unknown
murphy is also an unknown. he started 2 games and in his big game he threw 2 int.
potential potential potential we have and i hope someone steps up

Sorry DI, surf, but after Elon I am still a Loftis guy. Surf you posted some very good stats from the Duke-UNC game to support your point. However the most important stat is Duke led the Cheaters VERY LATE in regulation behind Loftis. We just couldn't hold 'em and got hosed by the refs.Agree to Disagree.

Duke had 67 plays for 350 yards. (5.2 yards/play)
Elon had 60 plays for 140 yards. (2.3 yards/play)

1. FCS and overmatched G5 teams go into games against P4 teams intent on winning TOP because it's the only way to stay relatively close.
2. Duke's offense wants to be up-tempo and that's going to mean some 6-10-play drives that only take 2-3 minutes off the clock.
3. If you're a defensive player, would it be harder to be on the field for 10 snaps that occur in 2:30 of game time? Or 10 snaps that occur over 5 minutes of game time?

Good analysis. You have enlightened me. Thanks. OFC

Yaaay! You found your next token to trot out alongside Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, Thomas Sowell, and David Clarke!

Disgusting propaganda. He ignores the great party switch -- which is real -- then repeats transphobic rightwing lies. It's no secret that certain Christians of every race are pro-life and anti-LGBTQIAQSAE+. And his hot take is that Dr. King was a bad dude. 🤣 🤣 🤣

How can you call anyone else a sheep, a parrot, of having an "inability to be a free thinker" when you promote garbage like this?
