Bull City Coordinators: A Duke Football Coverage Podcast

While it is hard to compare wide receivers from different eras of football, no one can dispute that Clarkston Hines is one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play at Duke. He has an unbelievable list of records and accomplishments as a Blue Devil that includes an ACC Championship in 1989. If you haven't seen him play, pull up some old games on YouTube and you'll see that he was a true playmake...

Put simply, Dave Brown is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play at Duke. While he only started for about two full seasons, Dave made an impact on the field and in the record books . He stepped in during a crucial stretch of the 1989 season and made the most of the opportunity. Dave had a 10 year NFL career with the Giants and Cardinals after his time in Durham and is now in private equity....

We all remember Anthony Nash from the big plays he made as a wide receiver at Duke.

We don't have an interview, but the Coordinators have a jam session! After a year not being able to watch games together because of COVID-19, we got together to drink beer and watch Duke beat Northwestern ! Consistent with our pre-COVID routine, we played old time music during commercials and halftime and decided to record some songs for the first time in a long while. The track listing is below....

Before we get started, you'll note that I'm titling episodes differently. We'll now be Episode _.__ (season . episode) as opposed the date of the interview followed by the name of the participant.
