People will surprise you. Just when you think you have someone figured out, they do something utterly unexpected. Sure, it’s not always in a good way, but every now and then it’s something that makes your jaw drop and maybe even restores your soul.

A Duke University football player has gone viral after singing to his teammates during training camp. Not just any singing. Opera. Chance Lytle may be a 6-foot-7, 329-pound offensive lineman, but he has the voice of an angel. Oh, and he also plays cello, violin, piano, and mandolin.

According to his profile on GoDuke.com, Lytle came to Durham after playing offensive line at Colorado, where he earned dual degrees in music & voice performance and psychology. He’s currently pursuing a master’s in management studies from Duke’s Fuqua School of Business.

The impressive Lytle sang a bit of opera to his fellow Blue Devils at a team meal last Sunday night (8/7). The Duke football team posted the TikTok video below. The looks on his teammates faces are priceless! Even though I have a sons at UNC and ECU, I kind of want to root for Chance this season. Don’t tell anyone.

It’s almost the greatest time of the year. That’s right, football season! From NFL to college football, the atmosphere during this time of year is always amazing. From tailgating to hosting watch parties to being in the crowd, nothing gets us more hype than enjoying a great game. But, even more amazing is the time of game your favorite team plays and what that brings to the experience.

A crazy, loud, and bright late-night game brings chills to everyone in the stadium. This year, you may wonder what team has the best nighttime experience. Well, the South Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson Tigers made the rankings for the most insane nighttime game experiences in college football. Do you have tickets to see one of your favorite college teams this season? Find out if they made the list and if you’ll get to experience it firsthand this season.
