SB America's comments on the Duke series
5. No. 10 Virginia Tech @ Duke Where: Durham, North Carolina When: March 13-15 What’s it on: March 13: ACCNX, March 14-15: ACCN What do we want to see: Duke is riding a seven-game win streak heading into this weekend. Over its win streak, the Blue Devils have looked the part that was expected of them this season. Behind Cassidy Curd’s leadership in the circle and Duke’s top-heavy lineup, the Blue Devils could stun the Hokies in Durham. Virginia Tech is a legit World Series contender and has passed nearly every road test with flying colors—so how will it fare this time against an ACC foe?

Yes, it's 15, but apparently that doesn't matter
At least they said VT looks like a World Series team.

I thought D1 SBs comments were more spot on
5. Virginia Tech vs. Duke — Virginia Tech is surging, while Duke has floundered. Now the Hokies will visit the Blue Devils for their own conference opener and Duke’s second ACC series – they swept Cal in Sacramento last week. Both teams are familiar with the ACC’s upper tier, but the first several weeks of the 2026 season have told two different fortunes for these two programs. This series could go a lot of different ways – it could solidify the Hokies’ spot on the conference’s highest tier or it could give the Blue Devils a chance for some ranked wins and a chance to re-establish their own footing as one of the league’s best. I also like their staff picks:

Not sure what you mean by "bint", but in British slang, that's a
derogatory term for a young girl. Sure you don't mean that.

Of course not. I don't speak British.

Bunt sounds too strong for such a small attempt to make something happen on
a diamond. Bunt reminds me if a punt gun which is actually a huge weapon made for bird hunting where you try to kill an entire flock of ducks instead of one at a time. Bint just sounds much weaker, smaller, so @TomTurkey and I "adopted" the word for of his series of pledges in the Poppin' It Campaign. It doesn't refer to the person, it refers to the act.

I recently got to see my cousin Carson at his brothers funeral, and I asked
him about the egg plant, he said that him, and I guess the Coles family ended up selling the farm several years ago to some large company that provided eggs to one of the grocery chains.
