6 PAX braved the literal gloom (it was raining) for a Floyd inspired, Tobacco Road beatdown. Last week was canceled due to an active lightning storm so the Ode to Duke was pushed a week. It was possibly a little less timely than last week, but still ever so important. The purpose of today’s workout was not only to provide a good butt kicking to the PAX but to also pay homage to the difficult task of winning a national title. It is important not to take them for granted because Duke only wins them once every 5 years or so.
