Last year

See if we can land a spot in the AP top 25 prior to the Ohio State game.

First 3 games will be especially fun to watch this year, a lot to take in.

if you like cupcakes, sure

(Mensah bolting hurts Duke bad, duh)

if we're not 3-0, that's a fail

hopefully, Lunney keeps it pure vanilla, then unleashes on the Buckeyes

Yes, I'm excited. Regardless of opponent, these 3 games will be full of intrigue.
