Duke football lost 21-14 against No. 11 Notre Dame after a last-minute touchdown by the Fighting Irish.
In a primetime matchup against Notre Dame Saturday, Duke football fell short of victory in a thrilling heartbreaker. The Blue Zone is here with three key takeaways, stats and a look ahead following the Blue Devils’ loss:
This year, I’ll make about as much as the average American. I’m 20; I’m not old enough to legally drink. I don’t have a full-time job. Shortly after I graduate, I’ll make more money in a year than the largest amount my parents made combined when they were both still alive and working. This will most surely happen before I’m old enough to rent a car. I used to think the idea that, at some point, making a six-figure salary would be amazing — now I usually don’t apply to jobs if their TC is only 100k. I guess it’s always easy to get accustomed to the idea of having more.
Following a heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame, Duke football dropped to No. 19 in the AP poll. The Blue Zone breaks down the movement in the poll after a tumultuous weekend of football:
With Notre Dame facing fourth-and-16 in the final minute Saturday night, the Duke student section pushed down through the bleachers, excitedly filling in the gaps in anticipation of a second field-storming in a single month.
I have been active in the campaign to get Duke to fully divest from fossil fuels since I was a freshman. I went into it knowing it would be frustrating and that the work would rarely yield any significant results. Still, I’m graduating in less than a year, and I cannot stand the fact that I will likely be leaving having made no impact on Duke’s investment practices despite the years of hard work by Duke Climate Coalition’s (DCC) campaign. I have tried my best to be patient, to understand that the bureaucracy of a college administration can often hinder rapid change, but I am sick of being patient. As I write this, many island nations are facing the threat of becoming uninhabitable in the coming decades, millions of people are dying annually because of climate change and we have already passed the point of no return. Now is not the time to slowly let things happen at a pace that our current system feels comfortable with.
Gameday in Durham brought it all and then some.
In front of a sold-out crowd Saturday night at Wallace Wade Stadium, No. 17 Duke has struggled to put up early points against visiting No. 11 Notre Dame. After 30 minutes of play, the Blue Devils trail 10-0.
Duke’s Engineering Master’s Programs' Dance Club and Music Club hosted a talent show in Gross Hall Sept. 22. The event was open to all graduate engineering students, giving participants an opportunity to share their unique skills with the greater engineering community.
In less than a week, Duke’s main campus has transformed from a construction zone to a full-blown television set. The reason? College GameDay.
As ESPN’s College GameDay made its first appearance in Durham, the Blue Devil faithful made sure to take advantage of the experience. Students lined up in the early morning hours to represent No. 11 Duke football on the national stage.
Sometimes, all you need is for a couple of things to go your way.
Earlier this month, the Blue Devils defied odds and took down then top-10 Clemson at home. On Saturday night, No. 17 Duke faces its second major test of the month against No. 11 Notre Dame at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Chronicle's beat writers are here to offer their predictions about whether the Blue Devils can stay undefeated against a talented Fighting Irish team:
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.
Duke and Durham community members met 12 Durham City Council and mayoral candidates Wednesday evening.
The Duke Program in American Grand Strategy hosted a panel about the changing landscape of college sports and the role sports play in the United States’ foreign diplomacy, as part of the Ambassador Dave and Kay Phillips Family International Lecture Series Thursday evening.
I’ve fainted three times in my life.
If its Week 1 win against then-No. 9 Clemson was the official start of the ‘Elko Era’ in Durham, Saturday’s matchup against No. 11 Notre Dame has the potential to be Duke’s declaration as a national contender. However, to be a contender they have to beat a contender, and the Fighting Irish will challenge the Blue Devils in every facet of the game.
As Duke looks to keep its undefeated streak alive against Notre Dame, the Blue Zone is here with a key player on each team to keep an eye on:
I have a confession to make. I didn’t wear concealer to class today, and somehow, I haven’t spontaneously combusted yet. I know that doesn’t sound revolutionary, but for me it is.
