...know I will never have here at Harvard. What I miss most about Duke is its profound sense of community, and nothing reminds me more of its absence here than the Harvard-Yale game. Duke basketball was the unifying force behind the close-knit student body, and the Duke-UNC rivalry was the epitome of this phenomenon. When I compare this rivalry to Harvard-Yale, I want to climb into a hole, puke up my guts until Im vomiting bile, and then...
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.

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 while chanting...

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...
