Some of y'all are being snowflakes about Elko. He's the coach at Duke. What's he supposed to say: "I hope we can get back on the level of Wake Forest, who goes to the ACC championship game once every 15 years" or "Duke has elite academics, elite basketball, and we're going to have elite football too on the level of Notre Dame"? Of course he's going to pump up his school. Is it largely bs? Absolutely. But he has to sell a vision to current players, recruits, fans, boosters, etc. And now Clawson needs to get his guys ready to go piss on that vision and kick their ass.
I'd feel differently if he trashed Clawson personally. But I believe he acknowledged and thanked Clawson and then stepped on Wake when talking up Duke.
