Almost Famous: The Bootleg Cut, Dec. 4 ($26.99) Cameron Crowe’s sweet, semi-autobiographical fable about a teenage writer covering a band for Rolling Stone, features a separate DVD for the extras as well—as a stand alone CD with six Stillwater songs. The original film was already wholly engrossing; the director’s cut—36 minutes longer—will only make burgeoning writers more jealous of Crowe’s life...
Duke students go to great lengths to get seats at regular, non-UNC games. Students wake up at 8am on a Saturday to get a bracelet in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium, go back to sleep, and then get up at 2pm to get on line for the 7:30pm game. Once the game starts, there is no time to rest. Dukies are always on their feet and cheering constantly. When the opposing team dribbles, fans say Boing, boing, boing.

Some enterprising Blue Devil fan got the idea of distributing thousands of copies of a fake Cota mug shot to the crowd, who held them up throughout the game...
...really understand the Duke-UNC rivalry, you have to understand tenting. Starting in January, groups of students camp out in tents in front of Cameron to get seats for the March game, creating a small community called Krzyzewski-ville (K-ville for short). For the next two months, there must always be at least one person from the group in tent or the group forfeits its place in line. As ridiculous as this sounds, it used to be worse. People used to starting camping out before winter break until the administration restricted tenting to spring semester only. During my admissions...
