Dookie | by Jay

We added Duke as a home game for 2007. Scoop is here, here, and here. (Oh, and see those articles for news on the previously noted Gator & Sun bowl arrangements, which are official as of today.) Here's the dirt on Duke, and how our 2007 schedule shapes up:

2007
1 9/1 Georgia Tech ACC
2 9/8 @ Penn State B10
3 9/15 @ Michigan B10
4 9/22 Michigan State B10
5 9/29 @ Purdue B10
6 10/6 @ UCLA Pac10
7 10/13 Boston College ACC
8 10/20 Southern Cal Pac10
9 11/3 Navy Ind
10 11/10 Air Force MWC
11 11/17 Duke ACC
12 11/24 @ Stanford Pac10

• Game
: November 17, 2007

Where: Notre Dame Stadium

Series: 2-1, Notre Dame

Last Game: ND over Duke, 64-0, at ND in 1966

Duke in 2004: 2-9

Duke's record since 1999: 11-57-0 (.161)

Duke hoops since 1999: 189-28 (.870)

    Frankly, I'm not super-pumped to be playing the Blue Devils as a 12th game. They're terrible. Army (the previously rumored 12th game), though also a patsy, at least has some history with us. Playing Duke in football is about as exciting as doing your taxes.

    2007, by the way, is the magic "third year", for what that's worth.
