Students seeking a late dinner in the Marketplace Monday night were surprised with another class at the end of the day-but this one didn't require a textbook.
The seven maxims were still there after the game, the ones David Cutcliffe had written on the whiteboard in the team meeting room before Saturday's game with James Madison-his first as Duke's head coach.
The David Cutcliffe era at Duke opened with a bang.
Most major schools around the country can treat a week one matchup against a Division I-AA opponent like an NFL preseason game and still cover the spread.
For 33 years, David Cutcliffe has worked as an offensive football coach, rising through the ranks because of his everlasting creativity and thorough knowledge of the sport. He's an all-business, all-the-time man, but just ask him to draw up some plays, and he'll show you the little boy still inside that fell in love with the game so long ago."Oh Lord, [I knew I wanted to coach football] when I was about 14 years old," Cutcliffe says. "I love the X's and O's and love to talk offense."
After a disappointing sixth-place finish in the ACC last year, head coach Norm Ogilvie is confident that Duke's second consecutive top-10 recruiting class will help Duke bounce back -this season.
The Chronicle last's day of weekly production in the summer was July 2 and, naturally, there has been plenty of news about Duke Athletics in the last two months.

First-year head coach David Cutcliffe and his staff have certainly used the winter, spring and summer to move this program in the right direction for future success.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Some have tabbed it one of the biggest upsets in college lacrosse history. But perhaps Duke's loss to Johns Hopkins in the NCAA semifinals shouldn't have come as such a shock.

Students trying to sleep in Saturday might get an unusual wake-up call.
After surrendering a season-high 12 runs Sunday at N.C. State, Duke responded with its best pitching performance in four years.
It's hockey on grass. It's basketball with sticks. It's soccer with hitting.
Duke's 11-goal blowout win Saturday over Johns Hopkins-arguably the best program in college lacrosse history-has people wondering: Just how good are the Blue Devils?
In a contest that Duke expected to come down to the wire, the Blue Devils destroyed perennial powerhouse Johns Hopkins in every facet of the game. But it wasn't necessarily because they were faster, quicker or stronger than the Blue Jays-although it often appeared that way.
Growing up in Duxbury, Mass., sophomore Max Quinzani made the morning headlines by attacking the net head-on, dodging and shooting better than anyone else on his high school team-maybe even the country. Before coming to Duke, Quinzani set the national high school record with 577 career points.
