Duke Football – Cool Again?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009 by DBR

One of the cooler things to come out of the ACC football media extravaganza was Vince Oghabaase’s statement that it was now "cool" to be a Duke football player.  It definitely hasn’t always been the case.  David Cutcliffe is grooving on the transistion.

Thursday, July 30th, 2009 by DBR

In Andrew Jones’s latest coaching matchup in his fantasy ACC coaches tourney,
