Cool, a good game before Christmas. And after final exams. Perfect.

 

[semper]

Really looking forward to this. I am very excited about seeing what happens with Chong, too. So up about the season...at least the non-league games, like this one.

I cannot wait to see the message board poll regarding this game. Something like this...

Question: Does Duke lose by...

A) 20 points
B) 25 points
C) 30 points
D) Greater than 30 points, but less than 40 points
E) Equal to or greater than 40 points
F) Beat down so bad the Duke graduates working at waiters at the high class restaurants collectively resign to pursue graduate and professional degrees at UConn
G) Beat down so bad that Coach Joanne P. McCallie will be so inarticulate at the post-game press conference that she will make Honey Boo Boo, Snooki, and Kim Kardashian look like the Yalta Conference in comparison.

hmmmm... Do we detect a note of pessimism?

Great post, redolently spiced with irony...

Looks more like the proverbial "bulletin board material" to me. These damned Dookies, ya gotta watch 'em. They're full of tricks.

I hope somebody actually remembers to pull this back out and post it as a poll next December.

Dukies are a sneaky bunch. Cam posts this here and then in November sends a Boneyard
link to the team providing them with bulletin board material. Thus creating Duke's own bulletin board kerfluffle.

 

[Phil]

Exactly. I'm half waiting for someone to right that the Boneyarders are a bit full of themselves. missing that it wasn't a UConn poster messing with the mojo

 

[semper]

Aw, c'mon, they will at least give us a game. There will be lots of teams that won't, most of which we will play twice. Thank yer lucky stars for this one.

 

[EricLA]

Should be a very good game. This past year the game was a real dog fight until the 2nd half. I really believe Duke and UCONN are the 2 best teams next year by a pretty wide margin, but ND always seems to be sneaky good. The fight for the top of the ACC should be great this year.

 

[huskyblooz]

Didn't Muffett say that Duke will be #1 next year? ... and it is on the road.

Im sure you meant the poll here on The Boneyard...... but this could very well be the poll on our beloved TDD

hmmmm... Do we detect a note of pessimism?

If you asked me my opinion on the 2013-14 matchup..at halftime of this past years game...... I would have been pretty optimistic..... at the end of that game.... not so much .

Im usually a very optimistic person concerning our program.... but something about UCONN..... well..... I'd better get my christmas shopping done by 7pm on the Dec 17.... cause if the game is anything like prior matchups.... nobody will be getting any presents from me

Just don't buy anything glass or breakable or they still might not.

Send a case of red wine to Geno and he will pull his starters at the half!

 

[Outside Shot]

One side note to this past season's lopsided affair was that neither coach seemed willing to clear the bench at the end.
