I quit caring about the Pitt game years ago, probably the year we led the entire game but for about the last 8 seconds and we still managed to lose by 8 points in OT.

We've thrown much better teams against much worse of their teams and we never win.

Chalk up another loss and move on.

Go Dukes

Go Dukes!

I like optimistic people.  If you don't believe you can you won't, or as a friend of mine once said "can't never could".  We are going to find out a little more about this team Wednesday.  When these guys play together as a team they exceed the sum of their parts (as Coach Ferry once said) and can play at a high level.  There may be some ups and downs, but this team keeps getting better because to a man they want to get better and win.  Guys like Jeremiah "Indiana" Jones, Q Winters, and Colter come out and are maturing and taking on bigger roles on this team as freshman which make the future look bright.  A long way to go this season but there are reasons to be olptimistic.  Go Dukes!
