Week # 2 of 12 takes Duke University out to Champaign – Urbina for a showdown with the Big 10. Duke 31, Illinois 27 (F)

This game is the backend of a home and home agreement reached a few years ago. Illinois rolled to a victory last year at Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 after Duke committed five turnovers.

Last week, Duke recorded a 17-3 victory over Tulane, a Green Wave team that made the Playoffs last season, and now they face Illinois after they just finished the most successful two years in program history.

Getting out of this at 1-1 would seem like a victory in itself. No ducking in the first two weeks, but any Saturday that includes Duke University Football is a great day !

Saturday afternoon ( 4pm) at Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 versus Stanford University

Welcome 🙏 to the weekend, and we start things off with our Morning 🌄 Brew !

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

We have a few things to keep an eye on today as Cross Country heads to the Star City, Ferrum College plays 🏡 volleyball at Noon and at 3:30, Duke plays football at the University of Illinois.

Vickey Ritchie shared some thoughts and pics 📸 from last night that need to be framed up to tell a touching story. I’m looking forward to that as well.

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇

It’s HOT 🔥🥵 outside in Durham right now, but not as hot as the Lady Cavaliers Volleyball team !

Cindy Edwards and Company move to 3-0 on the season with a sweep of George Wythe in the opening match in the day long Invitational at Patrick Henry – Glade Springs !!!

Our lunch date:

Lady Cavaliers take second match of the Day, over Johnson County !!

90 minutes of a delay pushes the kickoff back to 5:00 pm.

Carroll County High School 🏫 volleyball finished up 4-1 ( more coverage in separate post 📫 ).

Duke marched straight down the field on the opening drive for a 7-0 lead. The first half was all Duke, but only 10-0 to show for it.

The third quarter was scoreless, so now 15:00 remains….

Nate Sheppard now has 223 yards !!!! Average of 7.0 yards per carry…

17 – 3 lead with 6+ left to play….

Saturday 🌄 has arrived, and we kickoff the Labor Day weekend show with our Morning Brew !

Congratulations 🎊 to Carroll County High School 🏫 football for their convincing victory last night 🌙 over at Grayson County !

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Last night, the Blue Devils were the opposition for Seth Greer and Company in Independence, but today, here in Durham, the Blue Devils are the team of choice.

College football 🏈🏈🏈 is back in full force this weekend, and hopefully, everyone can cheer on their favorite team today.

Bill Gallimore was in the stands last night for the latest Cavs victory and sent in some pics 📸 of our crowd…

Thank you, Bill !

Whether you are going to the gathering in town or watching a ballgame, hopefully you will have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏.

I hadn’t seen this one on the schedule until this morning…

Indiana Jones is ready to get back in the saddle for the Colts ! Thanks to Pat McAfee for the knowledge.

It’s not every day that a Zero star ✨️ high school prospect draws this level of attention, but the artist, formally known as Danny Dimes, is once again looking forward to another NFL season.

The Colts were standing atop their division when Jones suffered back to back injuries that ended his best season to date. Getting to be inside Lucas Oil Stadium 🏟 last year for the season opener was a blast as it brought back memories from the years at Duke University.

I have never understood the level of hate that Jones has faced over the years, but I’m still pulling for the best quarterback to wear the colors since Sonny Jorgensen. Bonus fact in that Riley Leonard is on that same list and is back looking to lock down the backup spot.

Yes, Leonard spent his final collegiate season with the Fighting Irish, but can you blame him for making that move ?

McAfee is a Colts Homer, and rightfully so after his playing career. It has to help Jones from this interview process, but let’s say thank you and move on.

My favorite moment wearing Danny’s jersey !

Sunday, September 13th, is opening day, and Lamar Jackson will be leading the Ravens into the stadium 🏟 that Peyton Manning built.
