    Steve Wiseman Previews Duke Football PLUS ... Big Announcements

    #dukefootball #goduke #duke #ddmf #theacc #acc #cfb #collegefootball Our old friend Steve Wiseman stopped by to bring us up to speed on where Duke is at this point in "fall camp". (I know you can't call it a "summer camp", but it's August - let's be serious.) Before we get into the Blue Devils, Steve talks about his recent promotion, how you can subscribe to Inside Sports and our kids and college tours. After that, Steve takes us through the position groups at Duke and what to expect from each this season. Sounds like there's some depth at key spots which is a good thing. And we've got a new quarterback who may be pretty darned good. After we wrap up the football talk, we cover how things fell apart for Duke in the Final Four. You've been warned. And if that weren't enough, Steve makes a big announcement about a project he's working on. And speaking of big announcements ... As I mentioned last year, I will be cutting back on podcast episodes. And while I planned to do fewer episodes this season than in the past seasons, I decided to cut back on them even more significantly. Doing a weekly podcast during football season, along with all the work associated with it by myself, takes up a lot of time. Between work and obligations to my children (they both play fall sports), I need to cut back. What that means for this season is that I'll probably do a season prediction episode, another one around one of the bye weeks and then an end-of-year wrap-up episode. After that, I'm not sure. Doing this podcast has been a privilege and an honor. I appreciate the fans and friends of the pod I've made over the years. Thank you for your support and for your time. I can't wait to see you guys at Wallace Wade this season. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Mastodon, on Reddit, on Instagram, or on Bluesky. As always, Go Duke!

    6.14 - Richlandia Talks Predictions, Gator Bowl and the Portal

    #dukefootball #dukebluedevils #goduke #ddmf #darianmensah #maalikmurphy #graysonloftis #henrybelin #transferportal #theportal #gatorbowl You all may remember, probably because Dad won't let you forget, that he (finally) got a preseason prediction right. In the season preview episode, Dad called Duke going 9-3 and that's exactly what the Blue Devils did. Instead of breaking down what to expect in the Gator Bowl, we talk a lot about the changing face of college football. With the losses of QB1 and QB2 to the portal, Dad and I discuss how the portal is making bowl games entirely irrelevant. While players should be able to transfer, schools can't tell fans that bowl games matter when the calendar forces key players to transfer out prior to the end of the season. Dad and I present differing views, to some extent, on these issues. I also make a prediction that players will unionize to protect themselves and the commitments that schools make to players. Given that the NCAA has become completely irrelevant and can't police its member institutions, courts are going to become the enforcement mechanism for "amateur" rules that apply to the NCAA. When that happens, players will unionize to protect themselves through collective-bargaining. It's the only thing that players can, and should, do. I hope you enjoy this episode. It's an unusual format for Bull City Coordinators. If you don't like it, I blame our Richlandia correspondent and take no responsibility for it. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Mastodon, on Reddit, on Instagram, Spoutible, Bluesky or on Twitter. As always, Go Duke!

    6.13 - Conor O'Neill Previews Duke-Wake

    #duke #dukebluedevils #dukefootball #maalikmurphy #goduke #ddmf #mannydiaz #wakeforest #deamondeacs Friend of the pod Conor O'Neill stopped to talk about Duke, Wake Forest and a big matchup for the Blue Devils on Saturday. Before getting into Duke's chance to get to nine wins and deliver on Richlandia's pre-season W-L prediction, we cover the important story of the 70-80 pound Golden Retriever that knocked me down on my Monday morning run and injured my right leg. I'm still not back to normal, but given that I managed two-plus slightly painful miles this morning, I feel confident in saying I'll be ready for the game on Saturday. During our talk, Conor breaks down Maalik Murphy's "salute" to Jonathan Brewer, the chaotic nature of Blue Devil wins this year, where Wake Forest is as a program and the problems inherent with strength of schedule discussions. Perhaps getting ahead of ourselves a bit, Conor and I discuss what losing Jordan Moore and Eli Pancol will do to the Duke receiving corps next season. In doing so, we learn what it feels like when doves cry (that's a Simpsons reference, people). Now, one other thing we discuss is the two historic things that could happen with a Blue Devil win on Saturday. If Duke beats Wake, Manny Diaz would hold the record for the most wins by a Blue Devil head coach in his first season. If that weren't enough, Dad's preseason win prediction would (finally) be right. Dad thinks that would warrant a special podcast episode with him. Conor agrees. I'm not so sure. What do you all think about this? Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Mastodon, on Reddit, on Instagram, Spoutible, Bluesky or on Twitter. As always, Go Duke!
