Dear ABC News,
I wasn't surprised to see that the lowly and overrated Buckeyes lost the national championship. But I must say that I was disappointed in your headline.
As shown above you used the word Duel as Inigo Montoya would say, I do not think that it means what you think that it means.
du·el (dū'əl, dyū'-)What you should have used is Dual. Tut, tut, tut.
n.
- A prearranged, formal combat between two persons, usually fought to settle a point of honor.
- A struggle for domination between two contending persons, groups, or ideas.
v., -eled or -elled, -el·ing or -el·ling, -els or -els. v.tr.v.intr.
- To engage (another) in or as if in formal combat.
- To oppose actively and forcefully.
To engage in or as if in formal combat.
[Middle English duelle, from Medieval Latin duellum, from Latin, war, archaic variant of bellum.]
dueler du'el·er or du'el·ist n.

Oy.
Though I'd think that two teams of 40 some players going after each other with six guns would be more exciting than a football game. And bloodier.
MIL,
Oy is right.
SD,
That takes ultimate fighting to a whole new level.
Buckeyes still rock!
how embracing, oy I mean how embarrassing!
I saw an advertisement on the bus today, by a law firm, seeking business from folks going through "seperation" and divorce.
That's one law firm I would not call. I doubt they ever completed their duhgreez.
buckeyes suck. ;)
JS,
Very.
Stephen,
duhgreez.
