Video I shot of the Adrian Clayborn and Orange Bowl trophy presentation at Carver Hawkeye Arena during last night's Ohio State vs. Iowa game.

Great vid. Thanks. Im really gonna miss Angerer. Gotta love him coming out in a flannel shirt and wearing a pair of sh!t kickers. priceless.
 
I heard Clayborn was talking to some the the OSU basketball players; he said something like "Tell TP I'm coming, and hells coming with me!"

Illinois and Indiana both have significantly more "fans" at their football games. Although it is a pathetic showing, I think they have at least 2-3 times the attendance at football games than basketball. I have no idea about Duke and don't really care.
So, I agree that every school is a football school.

Not a fair comparison...number of fans in the seats is directly related to size of venue in some cases. I'd call Kentucky a basketball school.

Generally, football stadiums are bigger than basketball arenas, so it makes sense that a football game would have more fans. Duke probably gets more fans at their football games than they do for a basketball game, but you would never consider Duke a football school.

That what I am saying, Yes I would. Personally, they way I look at it is simply this: If there are more people attending gymnastics than field hockey, than the school is more of a gymnastics shool than a field hockey school. Just the way I look at it.
The reason football stadiums are bigger than basketball arenas is because more people go, therefore that argument is silly.
Anyway it was cool to see the team recognized. I was disappointed I didn't get to see more on BTN so it was good to see this video. Thanks!

So you're saying that in your mind, Duke is a football school? I just want to be clear on that.
 
Duke basketball capacity: 9,314
Duke football capacity: 33,941
So yes, since they have >3X capacity for football, they are a football school.
They averaged >20,000 in attendance for football.
Edit:
I just saw that Duke sold out every basketball game last year. Granted its a small stadium and its easy to do when your winning, but still pretty impressive.

I don't recall anyone running a story on students camping out around Duke's football stadium to get a seat for a game. Just because your football stadium holds more and tickets probably cost less, thus making your attendance higher, doesn't make you a "football school"...
