My cousin went to Maryland. (Unbelievably, she is smart and nice.) She got 6 tickets in Cole Field House for me and friends to see the 1983 Duke-Maryland game, where we upset a very good Maryland team. So I had to find her 5 Cameron tickets (1 guy, 4 Girls) for the rematch. And I found them (!)- because I knew exactly who didn’t go to basketball games. 5 IDs, 5 semester enrollment cards - and Durham and DC both got a foot of snow. The game was postponed, and made up in the middle of a later week, when they couldn’t come down.

So there are people who don’t go to games that were free to watch. I’ll never understand them.
