Duke/VT Kick?

[letemplay]

Coach K has his standard answer when asked why other teams and programs have so much envy or dislike of Duke, by saying "well, we've won so much", to which I say, "no you keep getting questionable calls". Besides the kick in the OP, I offer:

1) PCF on VT player at about 9:20 first half

2) About 3 min later in a very similar play on other end, block on VT

Now, obviously this had nothing to do with the games outcome (Duke would have been better off staying in Durham and having an intersquad scrimmage), and I may very well be wrong on these, but with only one replay via tv after each play, it sure looked bad. I have not looked back at it this morning, and cannot post a video, but perhaps if JMF is finding the possible foot violation, he can get these "kicks" too

So are you saying that Duke over time has benefited from some active conspiracy to give them favorable calls? That's ridiculous and ludicrous on its face. I think it's just people don't like Duke and remember the calls that go for them - justified or not - and conveniently don't remember or even acknowledge the calls that go against them.

Not a Duke fan and I feel +1000

So 3 calls that went their way in a 32 point blow out are indicative that all of Duke's success over the years is the result of favorable officiating?

NO, not at all...I see Duke's success due to they are generally really good, with very good players and coaches. A little overrated nationally usually, but an outstanding program. I didnt use the word "conspiracy", and I am not thinking along those lines, never have. I just want to see the plays again. If they turn out like I'm saying, it's only fodder for those that will say: Well, that's Duke.

For a guy that wasn't using the word "conspiracy,' your post looks, smells, and acts as one. If you have questions about plays, talk about the plays...don't opine about your perceptions of one team/player always "getting questionable calls."

Ok sorry, I did not realize my post came across that strongly, but guess it's ruffled some feathers. Let me reprhase then please:

Did anyone see the block/charge play that happened around the 9 minute mark where the VT player is called for the PC? Or about 3 minutes later on other end where VT player is called for a block? If anyone could post video of these plays I would like to hear some opinions..thanks.

Letemplay,

Go get them. I think you are welcome to your opinion. When I see them play my beloved Yellow Jackets, they get every call. Phuch Duke!

Enough questioning the integrity of officials.
