Tenting is for everyone

(11/21/06 5:00am)

Thanksgiving's right around the corner, which means just one thing for you right now. I'm going to write a column about things in Duke sports that I'm thankful for, and you're going to read it (if only because you're sitting in the airport and your flight is delayed by six hours, and you really don't want to walk over to the book store to shell out $12 for the new Mitch Albom book, which you definitely would buy except you're totally broke and it's a good thing that you're going home so you can eat something heartier than Cup O' Noodles).




Our house

The players: Head Line Monitor Mara Schultz; Vice President for Athletics and Campus Services David Snider; Vice President for Academic Affairs Jimmy Soni; Chief of Staff Paul Slattery; Senator Anthony Marzocca; and senior David Earley.




Ballin'

(11/13/06 5:00am)

So far this year, Duke sports have yanked me around better than a $5 hooker. The highs and lows have been unbearable. At the moment, we stand as the best men's soccer team in the country and the worst football team. The best moment of the year for our football team was almost beating Wake. How embarrassing is that?




There's something about a man in uniform

(11/06/06 5:00am)

This past weekend, Duke played host to our aquatic friends from just north: the Naval Academy. In case you didn't notice, these are the dashing young men in uniform who have more discipline in their pinkies then I have in my entire body. These are the boys you bring home to your mother with pride and-you know what?-everyone likes them. I always have the utmost respect for someone serving my country, and now that I'm actually older than many of them, my respect has only increased.









Junior Year

(05/01/06 4:00am)

Days after President Richard Brodhead took the reins of the University, men's basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski was offered a position as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers-a series of events that would prove a portent of the news that would come to characterize a monumental 2004-2005 academic year.


Reflections from down the road

(04/18/06 4:00am)

I'm writing my final column at the beach in Charleston, South Carolina. I'm here with three new friends from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, none of whom I knew at the beginning of the semester. It took awhile to feel at home at UNC, but now it is hard to believe that my time studying eight miles down the road is almost over. I've met amazing people, taken some great classes and grown to love the relaxed, laid-back feeling that pervades the Chapel Hill campus.
