Transcribe →2025 Season Prediction Episode with Lee Rodio
Aug 2501:12:57Tap to summarize#duke #dukefootball #goduke #ddmf #theacc #cfb #collegefootballOur old friend Lee Rodio returns to the podcast for another schedule breakdown. As we go through each game, you'll see that both me and Lee are pretty high on Duke this year, although Lee is a little higher on the Blue Devils than I am. If either of our predictions are close to right, it'll be a fun year in Durham.Also, I got one voicemail that I play at the end of the episode. Who left the message? Why did that person call? What is the mysterious message contained in the voicemail?

Transcribe →Steve Wiseman Previews Duke Football PLUS ... Big Announcements
Aug 401:07:14Tap to summarize#dukefootball #goduke #duke #ddmf #theacc #acc #cfb #collegefootballOur old friend Steve Wiseman stopped by to bring us up to speed on where Duke is at this point in "fall camp". (I know you can't call it a "summer camp", but it's August - let's be serious.) Before we get into the Blue Devils, Steve talks about his recent promotion, how you can subscribe to Inside Sports and our kids and college tours. After that, Steve takes us through the position groups at Duke and what to expect from each this season. Sounds like there's some depth at key spots which is a good thing. And we've got a new quarterback who may be pretty darned good.After we wrap up the football talk, we cover how things fell apart for Duke in the Final Four. You've been warned. And if that weren't enough, Steve makes a big announcement about a project he's working on. And speaking of big announcements ... As I mentioned last year, I will be cutting back on podcast episodes. And while I planned to do fewer episodes this season than in the past seasons, I decided to cut back on them even more significantly. Doing a weekly podcast during football season, along with all the work associated with it by myself, takes up a lot of time. Between work and obligations to my children (they both play fall sports), I need to cut back. What that means for this season is that I'll probably do a season prediction episode, another one around one of the bye weeks and then an end-of-year wrap-up episode. After that, I'm not sure. Doing this podcast has been a privilege and an honor. I appreciate the fans and friends of the pod I've made over the years. Thank you for your support and for your time. I can't wait to see you guys at Wallace Wade this season.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, or on Bluesky.As always, Go Duke!

We cover strength of schedule issues, a new coach in Winston-Salem, and turnover in Durham. The Blue Devils get high marks from Conor, so we're telling you there's a chance. Also, don't schedule weddings in the Fall people. Just don't.And we discuss the most painful Duke losses in the last twenty-five years.

Transcribe →6.14 - Richlandia Talks Predictions, Gator Bowl and the Portal
Dec 18, 202400:54:10Tap to summarize#dukefootball #dukebluedevils #goduke #ddmf #darianmensah #maalikmurphy #graysonloftis #henrybelin #transferportal #theportal #gatorbowl You all may remember, probably because Dad won't let you forget, that he (finally) got a preseason prediction right. In the season preview episode, Dad called Duke going 9-3 and that's exactly what the Blue Devils did. Instead of breaking down what to expect in the Gator Bowl, we talk a lot about the changing face of college football. With the losses of QB1 and QB2 to the portal, Dad and I discuss how the portal is making bowl games entirely irrelevant. While players should be able to transfer, schools can't tell fans that bowl games matter when the calendar forces key players to transfer out prior to the end of the season. Dad and I present differing views, to some extent, on these issues. I also make a prediction that players will unionize to protect themselves and the commitments that schools make to players. Given that the NCAA has become completely irrelevant and can't police its member institutions, courts are going to become the enforcement mechanism for "amateur" rules that apply to the NCAA. When that happens, players will unionize to protect themselves through collective-bargaining. It's the only thing that players can, and should, do. I hope you enjoy this episode. It's an unusual format for Bull City Coordinators. If you don't like it, I blame our Richlandia correspondent and take no responsibility for it.

Transcribe →6.13 - Conor O'Neill Previews Duke-Wake
Nov 26, 202400:50:07Tap to summarize#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?

Transcribe →6.12 - Steve Wiseman Recaps Duke After 10 Games
Nov 13, 202400:48:57Tap to summarize#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.

Transcribe →6.11 - Duke-NC State (Abbreviated) Preview
Nov 6, 202400:07:12Tap to summarize#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!

Transcribe →6.10 - Duke-Miami Preview
Oct 30, 202400:45:39Tap to summarize#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.

Transcribe →6.9 (nice) - Richlandia on Duke and SMU
Oct 23, 202400:58:58Tap to summarize#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.
