There’s no lack of sports participation affiliated with Duke – the men’s basketball program is widely considered one of the greatest in collegiate history. The Blue Devils recognize the importance of the basketball culture and have frequently attempted to leverage the team’s success to benefit the football program. In the 90s, for example, the Duke president at the time coined the term “Wade Wackos” to describe the student section for Wallace Wade Stadium, attempting to borrow the alliteration used in the more iconic Cameron Crazies. “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada, a tune largely tied to men’s basketball, plays at football games with hopes of bringing similar intensity and excitement.

In a transcript otherwise lined with intro psychology and econometrics classes, you would see some rather lovely classes I took; occasionally choosing buildings decorated with covers of books and posters of movies over the usual sleeker decor choices and flyers for consulting recruitment. The creative nonfiction class from freshman spring. A satire house course. A class about photography and American towns that I occasionally move around on my planner in DukeHub.







Scouting the opponent: Duke football must prepare for Hartman's arm, Estime's lethal ground game against Notre Dame

(09/27/23 11:48pm)

In its last outing, Duke proved that its early season successes are portable, as the Blue Devils traveled up to East Hartford, Conn., for their first road test of the season, promptly decimating UConn 41-7 to improve to 4-0 on the season. Head coach Mike Elko’s squad continues to garner national media attention, as Duke slots in at No. 17 in this week’s AP poll. On Saturday, the Blue Devils will be faced with their toughest test yet, as College GameDay will come to town to watch them host No. 11 Notre Dame.
