Duke´s head coach Ted Roof watches punter Kevin Jones (49) during football practice, in this Aug. 14, 2006 file photo, in Durham, N.C. Here´s a bargain for a frustrated Duke football fan. For $50, you can own the Web site where the name says it all _ FireTedRoof.com. That´s a steal, because similar sites calling for the dismissals of Bill Callahan at Nebraska or Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State are five times as expensive. The Blue Devils have been under .500 for 11 consecutive seasons, and are 3-45 in ACC games since 2000. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome)
