Basketball is Not the Only Game in Town for the Duke Blue Devils Anymore

When people talk about 'the game' at Duke more often than not it is going to be in reference to a basketball game. For years they have been one of the best in the business, and likely will be for many more years to come. Football, on the other hand, has been an afterthought--but not anymore!

This past season saw the Blue Devils finish 10-4 (first 10-win season ever), win their division, and play for the ACC Conference championship. Their game against Texas A&M in the Chick-fil-a Bowl was easily one of if not the most exciting game of the bowl season. The team finished the season ranked for the first time since 1962!

So yeah--I think it is pretty safe to say these guys aren't half bad.

Next season during that window when the basketball and football seasons overlap when fans start to talk about 'the game' they are going to have to specify whether its the football or basketball game!
