  • 6.13 – Conor O’Neill Previews Duke-Wake
    by Bull City Coordinators on November 26, 2024 at 4:44 pm

    #duke #dukebluedevils #dukefootball #maalikmurphy #goduke #ddmf #mannydiaz #wakeforest #deamondeacs Friend of the pod Conor O’Neill stopped to talk about Duke, Wake Forest and a big matchup for the Blue Devils on Saturday. Before getting into Duke’s chance to get to nine wins and deliver on Richlandia’s pre-season W-L prediction, we cover the important story of the 70-80 pound Golden Retriever that knocked me down on my Monday morning run and injured my right leg. I’m still not back to normal, but given that I managed two-plus slightly painful miles this morning, I feel confident in saying I’ll be ready for the game on Saturday. During our talk, Conor breaks down Maalik Murphy’s “salute” to Jonathan Brewer, the chaotic nature of Blue Devil wins this year, where Wake Forest is as a program and the problems inherent with strength of schedule discussions. Perhaps getting ahead of ourselves a bit, Conor and I discuss what losing Jordan Moore and Eli Pancol will do to the Duke receiving corps next season. In doing so, we learn what it feels like when doves cry (that’s a Simpsons reference, people). Now, one other thing we discuss is the two historic things that could happen with a Blue Devil win on Saturday. If Duke beats Wake, Manny Diaz would hold the record for the most wins by a Blue Devil head coach in his first season. If that weren’t enough, Dad’s preseason win prediction would (finally) be right. Dad thinks that would warrant a special podcast episode with him. Conor agrees. I’m not so sure. What do you all think about this? Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Mastodon, on Reddit, on Instagram, Spoutible, Bluesky or on Twitter.

  • 6.12 – Steve Wiseman Recaps Duke After 10 Games
    by Bull City Coordinators on November 13, 2024 at 12:15 am

    #duke #dukefootball #dukebluedevils #bluedevils #goduke #ddmf #mannydiaz #davidfeeley #thesewer Our old friend Steve Wiseman stopped by the podcast to recap Duke’s big win over NC State and assess how the Blue Devils have done through ten games. We discuss that while it’s defense first in Durham, the offense is starting to click. On top of that, Coach Diaz and his staff have spent time shoring up the kicking teams after Duke lost a tough one against SMU. As you’d expect, we talk about Coach Feeley taking teams into the sewer. With two games to go and a chance to get to nine wins, you best believe that the Blue Devils will do all they can to drag Virginia Tech and Wake Forest there. Now, before the interview portion of the episode starts, I give my thoughts about NC State fans talking smack about how State shouldn’t lose to Duke and how embarrassing it is for Doeren to be 1-3 against the Blue Devils. Let me be clear, NC State fans should get their facts straight. I hope you enjoy my take. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode.

  • 6.11 – Duke-NC State (Abbreviated) Preview
    by Bull City Coordinators on November 6, 2024 at 1:24 am

    #duke #dukebluedevils #goduke #dukefootball #ddmf #bluedevils After losing two straight, Duke looks to get right against NC State on Saturday. It’s a big game for the Blue Devils which I discuss briefly. Why a brief discussion? Well, just like Duke hopes to turn a page after two straight losses, I have to turn a page on weekly podcasts. I’m a little slammed at the moment and will cut back on the frequency of the episodes. I do plan on a few more episodes this season, but you won’t get one each week. Regardless of my schedule, I’m taking the Blue Devils to win on Saturday. Let’s speak win number seven into existence, folks!

  • 6.10 – Duke-Miami Preview
    by Bull City Coordinators on October 30, 2024 at 1:00 pm

    #duke #dukefootball #dukebluedevils #goduke #ddmf #miami #hurricanes #acc #theacc After a heartbreaking loss against SMU, Duke has to turn its head and get ready for a Miami team that is on a roll right now. Aided by Cam Ward, the Hurricanes are having a great season. Fellow College Huddle member Curt of Miami Nights: A Canes Podcast stopped by to educate us about what the Blue Devils should expect on Saturday. As a heads up, I will be at a wedding on Saturday and will have to watch the game later. Please, please do not DM me, tweet at me or otherwise contact me until I am able to watch the game. Unless Duke wins. Then please tell me all about how the Blue Devils got the win! Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode.

  • 6.9 (nice) – Richlandia on Duke and SMU
    by Bull City Coordinators on October 23, 2024 at 12:53 am

    #duke #dukefootball #dukebluedevils #ddmf #goduke #mannydiaz #smu #theacc While Duke is bowl eligible in Year One of the Diaz Era, the Blue Devils are far from perfect. With SMU’s high-powered offense coming to Wallace Wade on Saturday, Duke Nation needs a dose of hope, optimism and balls if we want to see our team get its seventh win. And there’s no better place for that than the wonderful land that is Richlandia. That’s right folks, our Richlandia correspondent stops by to give us his thoughts on this Blue Devil team and what we can expect when the Mustangs take the field. Before we get to the episode, we listen to another very, very close to perfect prediction from Jason and I give my thoughts on the reaction to Tony Bennett’s retirement. Things change, folks. Get used to it. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode.
