That’s right my Cane Brethren and Brethrenettes it’s Bench Day and the State Champs have arrived!!

We’ve got a nooner this week so you know what that means:

So tighten up that State Champ belt, put another 45lb plate on the bar, and BUMP IT UP! Its motherfuggggggin BENCH DAY!


So here we are. 8-0 fresh off a complete domination of the tragic FSU Seminoles. My god it feels good.

So far our March to the Playoffs has been riddled with demons that have been exorcised:

1. Florida ✅
2. The refs ✅
3. The comeback ✅
4. Boogeyman Brohm ✅
5. FSU ✅

Manny Diath

(In honor of our lispy opponent IYKYK)

I’ve been reading entirely too much positive energy about this guy this week. Soft *** slumpy shouldered low testosterone posters talking about “oh I think he deserved a participation trophy!” “He tried!”

**** that. This is the guy that was cucked by Butch Davis on national TV in literally the most tragic loss I’ve ever seen (yes worse than MTSU worse than Virginia etc)

**** this guy. If nothing else **** him for forcing us listen to “culture” excuses for the last two years

Go back and look at his 2020 recruiting class (2019 actually worse) if you really want to torture yourself (we did get X)

Dude recruited more busts than Brazzers

Speaking of…

Anyway. **** him and **** the people that stick up for him they’re probably the same ones that hope FSU is good. Now he’s just the next one in our way

THIS is why we hand Duke a prison pounding that would make their Lacrosse team blush:

Cam: Last week might have been my favorite game Cam has played this year. Why? Because of what he said. His speech at halftime about not being happy. His press conference after the game where he said “no one is satisfied with our performance”. THAT is what has been missing here for years. Beating FSU by 22 thoroughly outclassing them was simply not good enough

Arroyo: he’s been quiet lately but he’s still one of the most dangerous TEs in the country. Manny Diaz spreads his defense faster for a TE than Jenna Jameson for a paycheck. His defenses can be exploited on a level not seen since Diddy and teenage R&B prodigies

Martinez: we’ve been waiting for that. Reading our dumbass fans talking about how he lacks vision had to be some of the most absurd **** this board has ever conjured up. Buddy has been trucking people like Nice, France back in 2016. Manny gets a train run on him that would make Annabel Chong jealous

Lofton: Slowly he’s been getting more and more involved and I expect a little gadget dialed up for him this week. Manny will stunt and twist and blitz his way right into an easy score for Elijah


Verdict: I’ve seen people say this game will be like FSU. I disagree. For as much as I don’t like Manny, he’s not a ***** like Norvell. He feels he was unfairly fired and has always been Uber aggressive. I think they come out firing but our talent will overwhelm them eventually

Yeah the score might be similar to FSU but the game will look a lot different

Murphy kinda sucks but I’ll just need to see our defense keep it going before I can put any faith in them
I completely agree, because Duke will try far more aggressive things on both sides of the ball. FSU took the air out of the ball on offense, and also went for broke on 4th down. Duke won't waste time, but they just aren't a good offensive team.

Defensively, we know exactly what Duke will do. This will really determine the final score. On one end of the spectrum, we take advantage of them near 100% of the time, and we score in the 50s. On the other end, they cause tons of TFLs and turnovers, and we have a dogfight.

My score predicts a "somewhere in between" where we score on most of our possessions, but also have a few ****** ones. We will have more than the 9 (yes, nine!) possessions we had vs. FSU.
