Using grades: (A: Great, B: Good, C: Average, D: Below avg., F:Awful)
Football: TECH - B....DUKE - F
Mens Hoops: TECH - C+ ....DUKE - A
Womens Hoops: TECH - D....DUKE- A
Baseball: TECH- A-....DUKE - D
BTW, I'm not making fun of Duke athletics in general. Depending on who they play, I root for the men's and women's hoops teams. I don't pay attention to the baseball very much.
BUT...Duke Football, IMHO, is an embarrassment to Division I-A and the ACC. They haven't won a game this century and they are 12-57 and 6-50 in the ACC since 1995 (They beat Wake 3 times, Army twice, Rutgers, Navy, a 3-8 Clemson team, a Div. I-AA Western Carolina team, Northwestern, Maryland, and Virginia)
JJ, Duke is a national contender in both sex golf, both sex tennis and both sex lacrosse. Also, Duke baseball is worthy of a C+. Our overall record is 17-12, not too shabby.
Duke blows away Tech in everything but football and baseball.

Tech's women's volleyball team was near the top of the ACC last year, the softball is playing great right now, our women's tennis team is #24 in the nation, and the men's golf team was ranked #1 in the nation earlier this year.
You may be slighty ahead overall, BUT you don't blow us away.
