Duke Softball...ACC CHAMPIONS!!

6-3 win over the 'Noles.

Duke softball thinks that seven innings is way too short for a game, so they played another 10 tonight, won on a great tag beating slide at the plate by Taylor Burgess.

They are in the finals for the third time, opponent will be FSU or GT.

Duke won their first game of the ACC softball tournament today. It was not easy, won with a walk-off homer in the 10th, final score 2-0 over BC.

Duke will be playing Clemson tomorrow.

Nice mid-week win last night over #6 ECU.

Here's Duke's final tally in the 2024 draft. OL Graham Barton was drafted in the first round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 26 overall). DT DeWayne Carter was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the third round (No. 95 overall). OL Jacob Monk was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round (No...

Jacob Monk to the Packers. Fifth round, pick 163.

Mmmmm...ice cold cheese.

Congrats to our three guys so far!

Another DFB 1st rounder! Graham Barton to the Bucs at 26.

Both QB's throw a beautiful ball. Tight spirals, leading (front) end up so they're easy to catch. (Note: I said the same thing about Gavin Spurrier two years ago...) The receivers dropped too many passes. Regardless of who starts, we know how important it is to have another good QB on the sidelines...

Softball lost their first series of the year yesterday.

See ya, Sean.

Bye

Power portals.

Bye

The Spring transfer portal has opened (as of yesterday) for football. It runs from April 16th through the 30th. With practice ending this weekend, keep an eye out on movement either direction. Duke players should have a better idea of if and how they'll fit into Diaz's system, and the coaching staff...

Goodbye, Jeremy

It's getting so rare to watch a player grow at Duke for four years, so I'm happy that we got to that with him. I don't see Roach getting drafted, but I know another school will grab him quickly. Hopefully nobody we'll be playing against next year.

Baseball couldn't sweep. They should have, but fell apart, badly. Softball, however, did their job and took three from Clemson and retains a top three ranking.

Blakes is leaving….

Bummer. Joys of bringing in highly touted yet untested talent. We'd likely be better off with Blakes and his experience, even if he's not starting.

Thanks for two years Flip!

Thanks for visiting, Jared.
Best wishes to both, I'll remember one of you!

Delighted to see him return. Caleb is rumored to be returning; hoping this doesn't dissuade him. Roach is 50/50.

I'm a huge Jeremy fan, but I don't see how Foster returns with Roach still on the roster, that's too many chefs in the kitchen for one of their liking.

Tyrese returns!

Smart move, and great for us. His experience will be invaluable.

#1 Duke lost their first home game of the season last night to lowly Campbell.

PeeeeEwwwwww

Announced minutes ago: MM goes portaling.

I was really hopeful he'd be back, but given his father's sway I wasn't optimistic. We're going to miss his experience and energy.
