And I think you've got to learn how to be a road warrior in this season for Duke.

if I may say, like, throughout all of this, right, everything that we just talked about in the segment before about guys leaving via the transfer portal, how many guys we left, we had some guys come in, and this spring practice could be the most important spring practice in a long time at Duke because there's a lot of competition that needs to happen.

There's a lot of gelling that needs to happen, and they all, if they don't have it already, develop the chip on their shoulder.

People have basically now said that...

They view Duke as a stepping stone to better things.

But they're disrespecting the fact that that stepping stone has an ACC championship trophy sitting in its office.

So we need to come out and understand that people aren't going to roll over on us either.

We got to come out expecting to defend the ACC championship.

I don't care how you think we got it.

But we have it.

And now it's time to defend it.

So with that in mind, sure, it's a tough schedule.

But champions get tough schedules.

In the NFL, if you win your division, you get rewarded by having the toughest schedule in your division the next year.

That's just how it works because that's how they try to level the playing field.

And they're having a level playing field for us.

So let's go out and get it.

Let's go out and play with that chip on our shoulder.

Let's go pick off some wins and make this a season that people say, hey,

Respect to the Devils.
