As usual, although the article talks about all three schools, they conveniently left off the word "North" in the headline and led with a picture of our favorite TarHole.:rolleyes:

...that UNC fans may "tremble" at the superior school's success.
May his hands be shaking after the game!

Seems like there's a carolina fan at the Wall Street Journal, but all's good, I thought it was a unbiased and good read.

Kind of a silly article. I'm not sure why they decided to write about the pace of the games in lieu of giving a more complete history of the successes of and rivalries between the Big Four schools. I was left scratching my head when I finishing reading.

Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest, which are all currently ranked in the nation's top seven, are located in Durham, Chapel Hill and Winston-Salem, respectively. Their campuses are so close together that a determined person could visit them all in a single day -- by bicycle.

I wouldn't recommend taking a bicycle out on I-40.

Wait... does the Journal have a sports section?
