The history of the Duke-North Carolina football rivalry, told through The Chronicle's coverage

(09/24/24 1:53am)

The Cameron Crazies tent every year for a chance to see Duke and North Carolina face off in Cameron Indoor Stadium, but the game on the gridiron is also full of rich history. The two rivals have competed every year since 1922, and The Chronicle has covered the matchup every step of the way.  





What are we, anyway?

For the first month after the new semester starts, my calendar is typically decked out for every meal — plans with friends I haven’t seen in a while and dinners with professors I have to catch up with, brunches with clubs and girls’ nights. A month filled with, “Tell me about your summer,” “Do you think you know what you’re doing after college?” and “Where are you staying this year?” And just as quickly as the calendar fills up, it dwindles. Lunches turn into quick conversations in the hallway and dinners morph into waving at WU. It’s understandable: life gets hectic, priorities change, and the weight of classes and extracurriculars begins to hang heavy. Maintaining friendships gets more and more buried on the to-do list. Most people I talk to on campus are knowledgeable, kind and wonderful — how do I decide which friendships to invest in? Which ones will last when I graduate? Who do I want to see at the ten-year reunion, and who do I want to see over Christmas break?

CARY—It was an all-ages affair at WakeMed Soccer Park Friday evening in Cary, as little kids all the way up to parents and grandparents lined up at the finish line to watch the athletes as they crossed the 6K finish line.

Duke University Police Department responded to reports of an assault rifle in the Blue Zone parking lot Friday afternoon, which was determined to be “parts of airsoft guns, all of which were confiscated” by officers, according to a 2:55 p.m. email to The Chronicle.


Take of the week: Win or lose, head coach Manny Diaz has given Duke football a checklist for success

(09/20/24 5:00pm)

Introductory press conferences aren't normally significant. They’re mostly full of coachspeak, talks of building culture and vague platitudes about performance. But Manny Diaz’s was different. Since being hired, Duke’s new coach has preached the importance of a defense that “gets [opponents] to lose football games.”
