Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

I really want Music City. Cool town that I haven't spent much time in and a direct flight from anywhere because Nashville is a Southwest hub.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Based on the ESPN/CBS projections, here are examples of the caliber of opponent Duke would face in each Bowl Game:

Orange - Louisville or Rutgers
Chick-fil-A - Georgia or Mississippi State or Texas A&M
Russell Athletic - Rutgers or Louisville
Sun - Stanford or UCLA or Arizona State
Belk - Cincinnati
Music City - Vanderbilt or Tennessee or Texas A&M
Independence - Louisiana Tech or Miami (OH) or New Mexico or Vanderbilt
Military - Bowling Green or Arizona or Utah State or UL-Lafayette or Iowa State

Texas A&M is a top 10 caliber team, but other than the potential of facing Texas A&M, every bowl Belk or lower is winnable. If Louisville is in the Russell Athletic and if UCLA is in the Sun, then those are winnable as well.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Duke-Vandy in Nashville would be a huge sell for a bowl committee, I'd think.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

I'm hoping Charlotte or Nashville.

Charlotte because of the ease in transportation.

Nashville because the city is a blast. Also we get to play an sec team.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

REALLY want Nashvegas. Nashville for NYE would be an incredible experience. Plus it's pretty close to Atlanta.

Other than that, I'd be ok with being in Charlotte. But who knows if we would wanna play there again after December 1st.

Miami.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Charlotte means I can go.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Wherever we play, I hope our uniforms are just fabulous!
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Sadly, I don't think I'd be able to make any of these

Blech.

Buy my ticket and I'll wear a shirt with your name on it. Close enough right? lol

The Kaplan Test Prep Nerd Bowl?
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

I sadly will be out of the country no matter what bowl we get in to. Anybody know if Jerusalem has any Duke football bars? (Going for a class, believe it or not).
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Obvs depends on winning more, but verrry interesting...



Encouraging sign for our bowl attractiveness in general. Plus, Duke playing in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando would pretty much make my life.

Bomani Jones just gave a shout out to Duke football during his "face time" after winning Around the Horn.

Very cool.
 
Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Well, the good news is that, assuming Wake finishes 1-3 (as they should), Duke won't do any worse than Charlotte or Nashville, even if we lose out. And honestly, I bet we'd get picked over Wake this year even if they beat Vandy to get to 6-6.

Hooray for the ACC being horrible!
