The Blue Devils had it within grasp.

With No. 3 Duke and No. 1 Notre Dame cruising into their highly anticipated matchup with minimal losses on their schedule, the sold-out stage at Koskinen Stadium was set for a clash of giants. The game marked the first meeting between the two teams since they met in the 2023 national championship game, and a sour taste still lingered in the Blue Devils’ mouths from a title that slipped away.

I’ve been swimming a lot recently — and, no, thankfully not in Brodie. This behavior has perplexed me, as it’s not because I enjoy swimming (I don’t) or that I’m particularly good at it (I’m not). But, as I mentally composed this piece while completing my decidedly mediocre laps, I realized my urge to go to the pool is not about the physical act of swimming — nor the five kudos I will receive on Strava after — but rather the necessary detachment from the less-than-waterproof world inherent to being in a pool.
