In just a year and a half, head coach David Cutcliffe has taken a school that some argued shouldn’t be playing FBS-level football and has done the improbable—by insisting this team has bowl...
It was a funny way for David Cutcliffe—the brains behind Duke’s football program—to begin preseason media day Aug. 11. “Do you guys know that 70 years ago today, the Wizard of Oz was released?”...
I had looked forward to this day for several weeks. As I walked to Wallace Wade Stadium to watch my first sporting event as a college student three years ago, I was overflowing with enthusiasm. I...
What a long, strange summer it's been. Duke Basketball died when Elliot Williams moved closer to home, then, it came back to life, all because Andre Dawkins decided to leave home. Oh, and Greg...
After a season of waiting, it finally happened. It had been said in media rooms throughout the year that for a photographer to capture a Shelden Williams smile in a picture was the equivalent of a...
My fan relationship with Duke Basketball is based (almost entirely) on four players: Redick, Shelden Williams, Sean Dockery and Lee Melchionni. And now they're leaving.
Dear Josh McRoberts: If you come back, you'll be the star of this team.
The new coach must demand realistic expectations from the Wolfpack faithful
It is about time that someone was made accountable for all of this.
Innocent or guilty of the alleged rape, it is known that lacrosse players were rowdy on the infamous night of March 13, as yelling expletives at passers-by during a stripper party would suggest. I...
Now that the players' attorneys have said that DNA results do not match any of the players, however, the topic must be discussed-how fair was the punishment President Brodhead meted out?
The allegations surrounding the men's lacrosse team have brought to the forefront many of the issues currently facing Duke, not the least of which is the school's attempt to maintain a top-tier...
So ends The Train's journey-it's time to say good-bye.
But as President Brodhead said Tuesday night, "Sports have their time and place, but when an issue of this gravity is in question, it is not the time to be playing games."
If there is one thing we should learn from this year's NCAA Tournament, and if there is one main reason why Duke lost, it is this-today, winning the Tourney is about having athletes. Look at every...
Despite what Billy Packer may think, the gap between the BCS conferences and the mid-majors is shrinking.
I believe what Roy Williams has done this season-on display in Saturday's win at Duke-is pretty doggone impressive.
After four years of watching basketball in this cathedral called Cameron, and after realizing that the days of doing this regularly have come to an end, you come to understand that the W is not all...
In lieu of an update from the Road to Indy, I thought I'd take a look in The Train's mailbag for some (completely made up) questions.
The real question is whether the Landlord will receive the same honor. At first glance, it seems questionable whether Williams belongs in a group that includes names like Battier and Laettner, but...
