The Duke Stress
The Duke University men's college basketball team, under the leadership of Coach K, has won the national title in 1991, 1992, 2001, 2010, and 2015, becoming one of a handful of teams to have won at least 5 titles in the history of the field (UCLA, Kentucky, Indiana).
The so-called 'Cameron Crazies' (the nickname given to the adoring and devoted Duke fans who show up at every home game at Duke's wondrous
Cameron Indoor Stadium), make Duke games nearly impossible for opponents and very exciting for televised collegiate sports.
Even if you HATE sports, you have to admit that Duke basketball is America's equivalent of
Eurodisney...

Mummers (in some ways).

COACH K: Yes, it promotes scholar-athlete praise.
BILAS: It's been an honor for me to both play for Duke and serve as a TV commentator.
COACH K: I hope I'll be remembered as the Vince Lombardi of Duke basketball.

COACH K: The biggest threat now to national fanfare is terrorism.
BILAS: We all remember
Munich and now there's a film called
Munich.
