It's called Duke University - Not Douchebag University.

I'm tired of being the punching bag for lazy male journalists who are rapidly approaching middle age. Come join the group. It's all about the positives, well mostly.

Is there a "Duke was better 15 years ago when I went there" group?

I find that complaining about being mocked usually precipitates more mocking.

Perhaps you are right. But the problems have moved from the sports page and it's no longer really about the sports teams, it's about us, Duke grads, and I think it's harmful to the university.

I want to establish a subgroup for the "It's all been downhill since they closed the Dope Shop" gang.

Which Dope Shop?

Which Dope Shop?

The Dope Shop that closed in 1981 or '82 that was located in the basement of the Student Union Building.

There was also a Dope Shop on East Campus.

Hallowed subterranean "Grotto of the Miraculous Root Beer Milkshake"...

Chili dogs and milkshakes from the Dope Shop . . . one of my earliest childhood memories.

[Bostondevil]

And cherry coke, I've never had another quite like the Dope Shop's.

Ah yes, and pre-eight o'clock class ham briskets. I greatly miss the place.

And don't forget those marvelous chili cheese burgers late in the evening when studying required an energy boost!

I haven't forgotten them, nor (according to my cardiologist, decades later) has my cholesterol count.
