...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. They shout Whooooa when an opposing player holds the ball, Pass! when he passes it, Shot! when he shoots...
...throughout the game while chanting, Go to jail, Ed Cota, go to jail (to the rhythm of the traditional anti-UNC taunt, Go to Hell, Carolina, go to Helleat shit). Ex-Dukies at Harvard used to be able to reenact such rituals at the Crimson Sports Grille, where former Duke undergrads, now Harvard grad students, and transfers like myself could watch the game as a group. But now that the Grille is gone, we Dukies are going to have to find some other place, and find it we will, my friend...
...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...
...drink a lot of beer (which, by the way, is on the meal planseriously, it is). During the game, the crowd is even wilder than during the seasons normal games and certain cheers are reserved especially for Carolina, such as Hey UNC, who the fuck you come to see? Duke, Duke, motherfucker! Duke, Duke, motherfucker! When we win, everyone spills onto the Quad and builds a huge bonfire out of the large wooden benches that are in front of every dorm...
...first Harvard-Yale weekend is nothing like this. An early indication to me that there is no real rivalry between the two schools was that Harvard students and Yale students seem to actually be friends. Duke students hate UNC students, and more importantly, look down on them. It is hard for Harvard students to be quite as snobby in regard to Yale, although we try to. Our safety school cheer rings pretty hollow given the large number of kids who choose Yale over Harvard or come to Harvard because they didnt get into Yale. At Duke, however, we all know...
