I was at Duke 30 years ago. "Same as it ever was".
Thank you. This notion that the college students are out of control and something must be done just irritates me.
College students that go away for school have always drank and been rowdy - that's just part of the college experience.
This reminds me of when the Bush twins were charged with underage drinking. Someone in the media tried to claim that their "obvious alcohol problem" was a "cry for help". Geesh - they were just normal college students having a good time.
I was at Duke 30 years ago, also. Well about 30 years ago. And I was at Wake before that--even met Brian Piccolo.
But I was just a young thing back then-My father's HS football coach went on to coach college football and was at Wake and Duke. As liberal and elite as Duke is, I have a softspot for the football team--I used to love to visit them, even named my youngest son after him.
That son LOVES Duke Basketball. When Duke lost we were ready to give that 15 yr boy away. He has that same intensity thatI Sam had.
Oh well, enough memory lane.
