Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 1533216, member: 210"] OOC why wouldn't Duke be our mirror over BC? They are a top 25 program now and they don't't even have close to the football tradition that we have. They made a really great HC hire in cutcliffe and he's turned them around. I'd argue that they are our closest mirror in the ACC not BC. BC's big difference from us is whether they are good or bad they always get the big uglies on the lines year in year out. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are a destination school for the Catholic prep schools after Notre Dame. I think the fact that they always can compete on the line is why they can keep games close and not get blown out... they might not get the skill players that other teams do but they can at least run the ball and/or stop the run. Contrast that with us who have had a shitty oline for a decade or so now. [/QUOTE]
