Duke Doesn’t Count

Florida State’s Travis Johnson was a dominant defensive lineman last year in the ACC. And from the way he’s starting out, he’s going to be a dominant pro too – at least in the postgame interviews. Check out his choice memories of playing college ball:

My first college start was against Duke, but that doesn’t count. I don’t know if we even put in our mouthpieces and taped our ankles. I think we just played in our practice shoes.

Ouch. He followed that up with this:

The Duke players told us, ‘It doesn’t matter what happens today because y’all are going to be working for us in a few years, anyway. What’s your SAT score?’

You think the Duke players really talk like that during games? I’d love to hear that line chatter.
Johnson followed up his Blue Devil bashing with this last nugget:

Man, our coach was so mad that they scored a touchdown, he made us run gassers. I mean, the only way Duke’s supposed to score is on a test.

That’s awesome.
Thanks to the guys at StateFansNation for the link.
