I can’t explain the degree to which the Duke student body was crushed by losing to underdog-Villanova this weekend. A huge advantage of going to a school with such great spirit is the energy you find around major sporting events like this one. A huge disadvantage is the buzzkill effect that a loss can have [...]

Tonight could not have come sooner. Sweet Sixteen baby! And you know in this case there are no birthday cakes, cute presents, or any of that fancy shmancy stuff. We’re talking hardcore, fast and furious, make it or break it time.

Only 16 teams left. And only 8 spots remain to be filled in the Elite [...]

An article I was reading in Penn State’s Daily Collegian discussing the recent suspension of 3 fraternities on campus, Acacia, Sigma Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. They were all suspended for hazing their pledges in ways that the school does not allow, or for a number of hours per week that it doesn’t allow either. [...]

Yet another loss to the Tar Heels. Sigh.
And after an awesome first half, too! We led them by 1, 39-38 after the buzzer signaled the end of the beginning of what looked to be a hopeful ending. But sadly, it came out to what all the ESPN analysts expected: another Duke loss to UNC.
The final [...]

The Blue Devils know it won’t be easy to replace two of the best players in lacrosse history.

But they’re ready to try.
After losing the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer Matt Danowski and the NCAA’s all-time leading goal scorer Zack Greer, No. 5 Duke (1-0) has begun its season with several players in different positions. Fifth-year senior [...]

With the recent growing number of arrests on campus for students producing and/or using fake forms of identification, many people are looking more closely at the issue of whether fakes are a top concern in the UNH community. Yet, while owners and bouncers claim that it’s common-place on a college campus and is dealt with [...]

New Jersey Nets foward, Sean Williams, was arrested on Sunday for trespassing and resisting arrest.
At Boston College…
A school he attended for two years…
But was kicked out…
For smoking too much weed…
Williams was at the BC basketball arena before their basketball game against Duke and was promptly arrested near the college’s garage on Commonwealth Avenue.  Last May [...]

The Boston College Heights Ira Berman just reported on the school’s stunning upset of the Duke Blue Devils on Sunday night.

Euphoria set into Conte Forum before the final horn even sounded.
After four years of close calls, near wins, and heartbreaks, Boston College finally knocked off a top-ranked ACC opponent at home. Using tremendous second-half defense [...]

I am tired of Duke fans cheering “safety school” to other teams if we lose to them. Some Dukies need to learn that GPA and SAT scores should not be shared at the beer pong table. Do not get me wrong, Duke is the “jock ‘ivy’” and it sure beats those New England school, but [...]

C’Mon Duke. Tenting for the UNC game ended in an epic second half loss. Not only did we not win, my favorite basketball shorts were ruined because I dumped paint on UNC fans while waiting in line for Cameron. Also, Meningitis and pink eye were spreading through k-vill up to the game to make matters [...]
