It comes after the William and Mary game, which figures to be a little bit of an easier game.

And then basically from October 10th against Georgia Tech in Atlanta, from October 10th till the end of the season, it's nothing but games, nonstop, game, game, game, game, game, every single Saturday.

That is a really, really tough stretch from the beginning of October to the end of November, where Duke will not get any breaks, where the schedule is very, very difficult.

Like you said, with the exception of that Boston College game and who knows, BC could be

You know, it's not like BC doesn't try to win.

BC's a little power conference team.

With the exception of that BC game, there are very few games in the schedule that you look at and you go, oh, that's going to be one where we can coast a little bit.

It's going to be nail-biter, if not blowout, game after game after game, a really, really tough schedule.

Yeah, and I feel like it's been four years in a row now.

where I feel like Duke has exceeded expectations.

Whatever people thought Duke was going to do in the preseason, Duke has been better than expectations.

I think next year people will probably again think, oh, Duke's not going to be, you know, oh, they're going to be one of the lower tier teams in the ACC.

What I saw from Manny Diaz this past year is a coach and a team that is

all ready to exceed what people think they can do um when you say impossible they go that's our goal so i i'm you know we sat here we talked about how tough that schedule is manny diaz i'm sure is looking at that thing he's like yep i see 10 11 wins on here

I love it.

I love it.
