First LiveBlog of 2013 – State vs. Duke (aka “5 Against 8”)
I suppose I am liveblogging today because I need to exorcise some demons. I am still not over last year’s screw job in Durham. I hope the entire team – staff and players has held onto their rage as well, and lets it out on the darker blues this afternoon. See you in a bit. […]

I will preface this by reminding everyone that I am the furthest thing from a wild-eyed optimist.
