This afternoon, a new twist emerged in the story about the Cameron Crazies' alleged chants at Tyler Lewis. At some point this afternoon, a petition appeared on the official White House website asking the administration to classify Duke's student fans as terrorists. The petition reads as follows:

2012 was an exciting year for Duke sports and two plays stood out to us as the most exciting of the year. Today, two of our writers will make the case for why each was the most exciting of 2012.

Duke 69, Winston-Salem State 43 (0:45, in the second half): If Duke had been able to hit from outside, the score might have been very different. As it was, the Blue Devils missed a lot of open shots and made a blowout feel a lot closer than it needed to. The second half did not feature any of the killer runs that the first half did. The bright spots from the game were the performances of Amile Jefferson and Mason Plumlee. The lowlights: poor rebounding and poor outside shooting. Check tomorrow's Chronicle for more coverage.
Fourth Quarter (Duke 42, Virginia 17): Just three plays into the quarter, Boone hit Vernon for a 45-yard touchdown. Trailing by 18, Virginia was forced to attempt a fourth down conversion on the ensuing drive. After Cockrell picked off Sims' desperation heave at the 10 yard line, Duke began the process of running out the clock. Juwan Thompson tacked on the exclamation point with a 34-yard touchdown run that provided the final margin of victory.
