On Christmas Day, Katie Hnida made college football history. After the New Mexico Lobos scored on an interception return to take a 6-3 lead in the Las Vegas Bowl, Hnida strode onto the field, waited for the snap, and attempted the extra point. With a swing of her leg, Hnida became engraved in the record books as the first female to play Division I-A college football.
After receiving its third NCAA Tournament bid in as many years, the volleyball team will face the Miami Hurricanes in Madison, Wis., in the first round of the 64-team tournament.
R.C. Slocum has a .715 winning percentage at Texas A&M; at Duke, head coach Carl Franks boasts a mark of .111.
Dan Orner had missed field goals of 44 and 50 yards, as well as an extra point. But with his Tar Heels down by two points with four seconds remaining, Orner took a few strides, swung his leg and booted an ugly, left-hooking kick that somehow found its way between the uprights.
Three months ago, I stood on a practice field behind Wallace Wade Stadium, talking to senior linebacker Jamyon Small about Duke's objectives for the upcoming football season.
The world of sports leaves some people unable to predict what will transpire. I'm not one of them.
Expectations for N.C. State are overwhelmingly high this year, and nobody recognizes it better than Julius Hodge.
When Duke defeated Arizona in the 2001 Final Four, Dahntay Jones watched from the bench, forced to sit out the year after transferring from Rutgers. That year, Jones's role was only a vocal one, as the Trenton, N.J., native would often shout encouragement from courtside.
Getting Luol Deng was not simply a luxury for a Duke team already stacked with several veterans and the most talented freshman class in the nation. Rather, the Blair (N.J.) Academy forward's commitment to Duke Tuesday re-established Duke not only as a basketball power for the foreseeable future, but also Mike Krzyzewski as the most prolific recruiter in the nation.
Luol Deng is headed to Durham.
This year's World Series was memorable for many reasons: the Angels captured their first championship, Barry Bonds finally proved that he can play well in the postseason and a rookie became the first Game 7 winner since Babe Adams accomplished the feat in 1909. To make a long story short, this World Series--indeed this postseason--will be remembered simply for the games that refused to end.
This weekend, parents and siblings will descend on campus, eager to spend the weekend with their hard-working undergraduate kids. Dinners at Angus Barn, shopping sprees at Wal-Mart and walks through the Gardens--the weekend will undoubtedly be filled with a plethora of "quality time" before suburbia comes calling and brings its minions back home.
I can handle the fact that she's a Republican. And I don't really mind that she doesn't know much about college basketball. But the absolute hardest thing for me to accept about my girlfriend is simple: She's an Eagles fan.
The news came Monday afternoon: Houston native Ndudi Ebi, one of the top high school senior basketball players in the nation and one of Duke's prime recruits, would be announcing his college decision Tuesday morning. The impending decision by Ebi--who had narrowed his college choices to Duke, Arizona, Texas and Houston--kicked college basketball journalists in three states into high gear.
'Twas the 25th of September, two
On Jan. 17, the Washington Redskins named Steve Spurrier their new head coach, setting off a wave of discussion across the football world. Those with ties to Spurrier's former team, the Florida Gators, certainly made their voices heard. But lost in the hype was the impact that the hiring had on a college football program that was in the midst of a 23-game losing streak.
This evening, at 9:11 p.m., baseball games around the nation will pause to observe a moment of silence and a video presentation.
Maybe it's because it was the first game of the year. Or perhaps it was because I was curious as to how much purple I would see in the stands of Wallace Wade Stadium. To be honest, I have no idea what possessed me to go stand with my friends in the rain Saturday evening to watch what was sure to be a one-sided thrashing of Duke by the East Carolina Pirates.
Reserve cornerback Brian Greene was not on the field for a single snap last season. Nevertheless, he has gone into practice every day this fall with a giant bullseye printed on his back.
