Countdown to Craziness: Hold Your Horses Duke fans…Just Breathe

So Countdown to Craziness ends and I’ve never seen such doomsday predictions from a scrimmage. I get it that last year was a different kind of year, we were spoiled with a team that was far and away the perfect storm. The perfect confluence of intellect, skill, talent and togetherness. For some reason we as a fan base are beginning to measure every practice, every scrimmage every recruiting class against last year – it’s not only unfair it’s not smart.

Teams and players need time to grow, they need to opportunity to learn. No player from yesterday is the same player he will be a week from now, or a month from now.
