The banned gesture was swiping across the throat. Wiping your nose should be ok.

also banned. It was 5 days ago, we gotta get over it.

I don’t understand this debate. We know that the NCAA said no slashing motions or 15 yards. Just like when Rosa got flagged in ‘22 against NC State for the flip after doing the TD, they had been told you can’t do something. If the NCAA says you will be flagged for doing something and we do it anyway, ….

The Neider one was particularly infuriating

That was before the fake punt right? In hindsight, that fake actually gave us a ton of momentum and fired the fans up. But still a terrible penalty call

Yes, that’s where I was parked. Didn’t know that lot existed either.

Where did you guys go to? Klondike? If so, it used to have a hydrogen facility? I had a test stand out there once.

I had the same feeling. I was praying for a win but even if we lost, hoping that the atmosphere would entice better attendance going forward.

Yes Mensah was the second best on the field Saturday. And he's getting paid $8M over two years.
“Duke quarterback Darian Mensah reportedly received an NIL compensation package valued at up to $8 million. The $4 million per year for two years, matches the highest annual average in college football history, makes Mensah one of the highest-paid college football players under the NIL system, and is cited as a record-breaking deal for both Duke and college football.
There are various performance incentives based on achieving specified on-field milestones such as starting a certain number of games, team win totals, postseason appearances, and individual statistics. Additional bonuses are triggered by participation in team promotional events and donor functions, completion of community service projects, especially those with Duke partners, academic eligibility and remaining in good standing for the duration of the contract.
Mensah’s deal reportedly also includes major lifestyle upgrades, such as a new residence, vehicle, and charitable initiatives, reflecting the transformative impact of NIL opportunities on athletes’ lives. This NIL package far surpasses previous deals at Duke and in the ACC, signaling both Duke’s investment in football and the rapid escalation of NIL agreements nationally."
So what's Joe worth?

Actually going to class and learning something?
