by Laura Long time fans of The Daily Triangle (and really, who isn’t a long time fan?) will remember my discovery of InsideOut Body Therapies in Durham last fall. At the time, I was just happy to find a new pilates studio with classes affordable enough to preserve almost all of Noodle’s food budget. Now [...]

One way UNC is better than Duke
By Harold I think we can all agree that indoor soccer isn’t the most popular sport out there. It’s not ingrained in the culture, no one played it growing up, there’s no school teams, there’s no professionals to look up to. Still, the UNC intramural program offers men’s, women’s and co-rec indoor soccer. And within [...]

It’s okay to root for Duke on Saturday
By Harold I have to live with the fact that, through no fault of anyone, my school will always be hated. Wherever I go, there will always be more people rooting against it. Even in Durham bars, since there are far more UNC and NC State graduates who stay in-state than Duke grads. But is [...]

Here We Go Devils, Here We Go!
by Laura Duke basketball is easy to love, and tonight I was reminded of a few reasons why: 1. Fellow Duke pride runs deep enough that season ticket holders were willing to sell a couple of seats at face value to two very happy alums! Thanks for saving us from the creepy scalpers!

The Olympics Are Here!!!! OMG!!!
by Laura I really, truly love the Olympics. In fact, I can now admit to my friend Julie that when she got to attend the ’96 Atlanta Games, I was not a little bit jealous. I was a whole, giant bit jealous. Someday, that will be me! But, for now, I plan on using up [...]

The Duke-UNC rivalry
By Harold An interesting article came out the other day about how fewer than 20 percent of Duke and UNC fans actually hate their rival. Even Ol’ Roy and Coach K are liked more than hated by opposing fans. This shows something I’ve written before. The best thing about the Duke-UNC rivalry is really the [...]

What a juxtaposition
By Harold Duke and UNC played back-to-back on ESPN last night, and the results were as good as it gets for a Duke fan. Not just the outcomes, which were somewhat predictable — Duke beat unranked BC at home, UNC lost to No. 19 Clemson on the road — but the margin (both 20-point games) [...]

Two games, 220 minutes, no goals
By Harold The NCAA Division I men’s soccer tournament — the College Cup — was played in the Raleigh suburb of Cary this past weekend, and I followed top-seeded Akron for the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Go Zips! Beat UNC!
By Harold I need everyone to root hard against UNC Friday — and it’s not because I went to Duke. The Tar Heels are playing the Akron Zips in the NCAA men’s soccer semifinals in nearby Cary, and I’ll be covering the game for the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. Basically, if Akron loses, I only get paid [...]

C-A-R-O-L-Is it Okay to Cheer for Duke, Instead?
by Laura Greetings, erstwhile readers. Harold’s already given you his take on local basketball, but I’m sure you’ve also been looking forward to my expert insights. The moment is upon us – this week, I ventured into the stadium thing and enjoyed college sports. When I won the student lottery to attend the UNC-Michigan State [...]
