    Duke Football 2024

    Arguably that streak began with our 30-19 win over Pitt last November. Four letter names are scoreboard friendly and balance nicely.

    Not the French—the Midlands Germans gifted us their mustard. My opinion is that good pork BBQ in any sauce beats bad BBQ in any other sauce. Bringing it back to the swine race, I predict SC Q will be the RFK, Jr in any foreseeable sauce war.

    All four members of that relay team played football for Duke.

    2024 Olympics - General commentary

    Rugby 7s and 15s are strikingly different forms of the same basic game. It’s impressive how tired you can get in 14 minutes, especially if you feel fit for the 80 minute games. They feature very different styles of movement and engagement. The Sevens format lends itself well to limited time...

    2024 Olympics - General commentary

    Amazing piece of video—including the opposing forward who simultaneously saves his opponent while trying to steal the ball.

    2024 Olympics - General commentary

    My playing days crossed the line out lifting development, and I think it was a positive change. Lifting turned a man-to-man matchup into a 3-on-3 sport, in which better teamwork could overcome one player’s natural or developed ability. Plus, it’s fun, especially for ordinarily ground-bound...

    2024 U.S. Presidential election

    To some degree it’s the wild card element Trump’s team would hate, after their game plan worked so well against Biden, and most any changeup would be upsetting. A well-coached Harris is bright enough to make Trump look foolish (to non-MAGA Americans).

    2024 U.S. Presidential election

    There’s a lot I’m unsure of about what’s happening over the next several months, but I think Trump and company would freak out over the possibility of having the next debate be against Vice President Harris.

    Light Rail

    I hope this isn't too political a query. Does the current impasse doom the light rail project altogether? If so, how much damage will this do to our community relations? I have a lot of concern. Right now it seems that everyone is against Duke on this one, including many within the...

    Minor Quibble--I think it was Kurt Roper whom Snead was quoting.

    GTHCGTH! Field Hockey Wins!

    Congratulations to our Field Hockey team. Tonight they knocked off the top-ranked Heels in Chapel Hill. The match was tied 2-2 at the end of two sudden-victory overtime periods, and then Duke bested UNC in strokes to win 5-4. The Blue Devils return to action Sunday, hosting Longwood at Jack...

    Booing the Heels

    "At UNC, in state tuition is $3,865 and out of state is $21,753. The math is obvious and easy: over four years in-state, tuition is $15,460; add a fifth year and it’s $19,325. Out of state that works out to $87,012 over four years and $108,765." I'm not really quibbling with the point...
