Let's Go Canes!

2nd!

[roachcane77]

I beg to differ on the score... I think we get to the 40s AGAIN!

Go DUKE Go! (Johnson that is... )

[The Dude]

Lets go Canes!

[The Dude]

This is a game we should win every year from now until forever. Coach D'Onofrio will probably make it close because he is a joke of a coordinator. Morris and Dorsett should hook up a few times today over the top. Duke Johnson should be a playmaker today. There is no way we lose. If we do... it will be because we need to fire Mark D'Onofrio.

[The Dude]

I will go with 48-24.

[roachcane77]

Well said Dude... totally agree. (Only D'No will be staying even if the Blue Devils were to hang 100 on us... ) sigh.

[j.w.]

No prediction, we have no idea whether the team tanks it after the bowl ban like they did last year or if Golden can motivate them today. Hope he pulls a Jimmy Johnson and tells them even their own administration is against them, we had the best run ever after that speech. :)

[IraqiCane]

Let's go CANES!!!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

I like The Don, but if Al's got to miscast her as the villain to win the national title, I'm OK with it.

[Skreettz-ain't-not-real-but-I-can't-move-on]

Hai guize! Where da fake gaturd info be?

S pent all day monitoring Canespace
K ept racking my brain to insult the owner
R ealized I'm a loser because
E very post I made got
E rased by the moderators for my own good
T he fact that this is my life and it equals a big fat
Z ero isn't the worst thing about me.

L ittle do I realize
I 'm a desperate shell of a human
V essel that deserves nothing but scorn
E verytime I waste another worthless
S econd of my life doing the same old scumbag routine here.

[raizecane]

I may have missed it but is the game on TV??

[Sinistercane]

Do or die for NO d

[The Dude]

Lets go Canes! Game time!

[Terrance Sullivan]

Miami 38 Duke 24.

[pbcfrcane13]

big crowd at the game! lol First time ive sat home and watched a game since ND in the sun bowl......

[86Cane]

I do not need any more stress today.

Please I am begging U, win, win early and win BIG. I said PLEASE!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Well, Duke is trying to keep the flags on offense rolling like they did to take themselves out of it last year but not as often. You can tell there's no stakes for either side by how listless they're both starting here.

[86Cane]

Defense looking good, two straight stops.

Now offense needs to stirke quickly.

[pbcfrcane13]

Crawford!!!

[86Cane]

Quick strike to Walford baby!

GO CANES!!!

[pbcfrcane13]

Walford....welcome to CFB!!! two weeks in a row.....btw now I know why this board goes crazy during game day. I have something to say after every play lol

[longtimecanefan]

online and early thoughts...

CB's playing 10 yds off the line, but so far Duke hasn't taken advantage...

Duke seems flat, thought they were better than this. A lot of mistakes, bad throws, drops, etc. They've missed some wide open recievers. No running game though.

"O" as usual putting up points.

[longtimecanefan]

walford having a career day!!!

[Canezitis]

Where has this dude been all year, walford is in beast mode

[longtimecanefan]

DUKE!!! what a move!!!!

[86Cane]

Duke will beat Duke.

Yeah, I said it!

[pbcfrcane13]

DUUUUUUKKKKKEEEE!!!

[Canezitis]

Duuuuuuuuuuuke, great move for the td

[longtimecanefan]

that was a NFL type move Duke made on that run....wow!!

[laquinton]

Eddie Johnson suspended again ? Will he ever learn ?

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Jedd not giving a damn today by opening all the pages in the playbook.

I'm pretty sure Morris is tired of Walford woofing at him in practice so he's just going to throw it to him every time he's got a little window.

[longtimecanefan]

CB's no longer playing 10 yds off the los....

[pbcfrcane13]

btw battle of the next ACC team UConn over Lville 10-0

[longtimecanefan]

No"D" is beginning to reappear......
....

[Ohio_Cane]

This is what I'm talkin about, Canes!!!

The future is bright! Get on board or get outta the way!!

[longtimecanefan]

Nice play by Mcgee....may have saved 4 points

[86Cane]

I'm pretty sure Morris is tired of Walford woofing at him in practice so he's just going to throw it to him every time he's got a little window.

Wink, nod.

[pbcfrcane13]

What is up with EJ? Thats why you want to be able to RS as many freshamn as possible to they learn the in's and outs of CFB! I hope EJ and Scott learn what it takes to compete at big time CFB...its not just about on the field(even though that sucks) but about everything!

[longtimecanefan]

Wow....Duke pulling out all the stops early in the game, got lucky we recovered that

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Did I just hear Danny Dillard burned his redshirt on special teams in game 12? WTF?

[longtimecanefan]

Can't say I agree going long on 1st down on this series...low percentage play...

and now we have to punt, waste of good field position

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Except the guy was open and Morris just overthrew him. I don't have a problem with going deep after what amounts to a turnover on the onside recover. It's football play calling 101.

[86Cane]

Flowers got pushed around. Where's Hassan?

[86Cane]

Did I just hear Danny Dillard burned his redshirt on special teams in game 12? WTF?

Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | November 24, 2012 at 01:09 PM

Yeah I heard that too. Can't believe it.

[Canezitis]

Bush just does not a ish about his body. Love the way this kid plays

[longtimecanefan]

who is danny dillard??? wasted a RS for a special teams play?

[86Cane]

DE - FENSE...DE - FENSE!

[IraqiCane]

BUSH!!!

[longtimecanefan]

chant louder 86 they're not hearing you!!!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Double digit lead = D'No calling plays with confidence.

Break out the light it up bag you got on entry.

[Ohio_Cane]

Sad about EJ. He better get his off field stuff together and quick. Got a LOT of promise if he can keep it all together.

Tracy Howard with a BIG lick!!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Danny Dillard is a large freshman RB who has been a special teams nightmare this year but hadn't played until apparently this week. Just another example of bad roster management IMO by this staff, but I'm sure that's chalked up to me personally not liking them by the Kool-Ade chuggers.

[86Cane]

DENO

[Jack]

NO EDDIE JOHNSON = NO GOOD! WE NEED HIM BAD!!!

[longtimecanefan]

No'D is back......

[Jack]

Listen to me:

If we lose Eddie Johnson our LB core is not good! Only him and DP are good! Errrrrrrrrrrrrr

[pbcfrcane13]

Im sick of seeing thurston over run, miss tackles take bad angles when his in!

[longtimecanefan]

tks on the DD info....makes to sense in week 12, and no bowl game, to play a RS freshman.....

[j.w.]

Duke passed or ran right at Gaines nearly every play on that drive. 0 tackles, 0 passes defended.

[j.w.]

Milian says Cornelius recovered that kick, not Dillard.

[SinisterCane]

Come on #34

[YooperCane]

I have seen better defense in high school football than this! Man!! This is Duke for crying out loud!

[longtimecanefan]

good spot JW...... I'll watch to see if they keep it up...

U featuring Duke today, going for the freshman record......

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Wildcat w/ Dallas Crawford?

Someone who doesn't exist according to turds said something about that page in the playbook existing, funny that Jedd digs it out now though.

[YooperCane]

Walford is a beast!

[longtimecanefan]

Did we sign Walford as a free agent or something? Haven't see this all season.

Same for the wildcat look though. If I wish I could figure out our O scheme this season.......

[longtimecanefan]

Can we just give it to Duke every play???

[Canezitis]

Duke gonna get that record easy today

[86Cane]

Duke will beat Duke.

Yeah I said it. Again.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

That TD clinches the LOF on offense for Duke, yes? Morris is his only real competition for it so I guess maybe we'll have to see who ends up with more TD's for the game?

[longtimecanefan]

86 is that your Brittany Spears imitation??

LOL....oops I said it again, Duke beats Duke....

[Jack]

Duuuuuuuuuke Johnson!!!

[longtimecanefan]

Agree, the Duke is the LOF.....

[86Cane]

Im sick of seeing thurston over run, miss tackles take bad angles when his in!

Posted by: pbcfrcane13 | November 24, 2012 at 01:26 PM

Me too. Why he is even in there makes me SMDH.

[longtimecanefan]

Duke QB now 12 of 14.....starting to look like VA game again...

[Jack]

Brandon Megee 3rd rounder??

[longtimecanefan]

wow again!! fake punt, onside kick, 4th down try at mid field, Duke is going for it all today!!!

[86Cane]

McGee playing a great game today. Third round NFL pick?

[pbcfrcane13]

86 he's in their because EJ can't keep himself on the field..AH

[longtimecanefan]

Mcgee round depends on how many CB's are in the draft. Might be to short for the NFL top rounds, but worth a try later on.

3rd is possible, maybe more like 4 or 5

[longtimecanefan]

Duke time......

[Ohio_Cane]

No question Duke is LOF on O

[Ohio_Cane]

#34 needs to relax on the over-persuing. Always gets cut back on and falls down

[longtimecanefan]

I must say...hard to remember Jacory after the season Morris has had....

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Run the ball. Twice.

[longtimecanefan]

Good series by the O with the short field. Plus used up the clock to end the half.

3 score lead....nicely done.

D played well for the 1st qt

Duke really hurt themselves with the onside kick and fake punt failures

[86Cane]

I love me some Mike James. Be like Mike!

[Jack]

I hope Mike James gets drafted!

[longtimecanefan]

Duke needs about 3-4 yds for the record if I have my stats right.....

Do we play him any more once he breaks it? Or let him sit and get ready for next season?

[86Cane]

ltcf...if Morris becomes more consistent, sees the entire field better and developes more touch on his passes he can be GREAT.

Right now he is good, but he could be GREAT.

[pbcfrcane13]

Either way Mike James will be on an NFL roster next year! He is a player coaches want on their team!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Duke moved the locker room closer than a mile? No wonder Wallace Wade isn't a tough place to play anymore for UM!

[longtimecanefan]

86..right on....he's got the tools and poise to take it to the big time level.

Can't wait to see him next season with the WR's back, and the Duke alongside him.

The O will be ready for prime time

[86Cane]

[longtimecanefan]

[ARCane]

Duke Johnson=Beast!

[longtimecanefan]

I'd sit Duke for here out....MJ deserves the playing time as a senior.

Duke has the future ahead of him....

[orange 'n green in the vein]

I count one and a half steps and a football move before the ball was out. Overturned I bet.
