Duke duo learns the ins and outs of bowties at ACC Kickoff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- ACC players dressed in full suits this year for Day 1 of the ACC Kickoff on Thursday, and Duke’s Thomas Sirk and DeVon Edwards wanted to take it a step further -- sporting a bow tie for the festivities.

The only problem? They had no idea how to tie one.

Edwards had done it before -- once -- but it turned out he was no expert. Sirk was wearing one for the first time, and he was clueless.

The game plan was simple enough. They turned to the Internet, watching YouTube videos on how to tie them well into the night Wednesday.
