The Duke football coaching staff and Department of Athletics want to thank you for creating an amazing atmosphere in Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday night. Even more so, you have our utmost appreciation for staying in the stadium throughout the inclement weather and the delay. On this particular night, we were so grateful to have the best student section in the country. It was a very special night for Duke-one that marks a new beginning for our football program-and it would not have been possible without you.
You certainly did your part. We tried to do ours as well by playing to win for four quarters and raising our performance level to match the intensity you provided from the stands. Simply put, without you, the atmosphere would not have been the same, nor will it be as we try to build a championship football program. We hope to see you again next week-same time, same place-for the Northwestern game.
Thanks again, and Go Duke!
