Some of you might have seen this article in the Washington Post: “Wake Forest’s Jim Grobe achieves beyond the numbers” (written by John Feinstein, a Duke alumnus and sportswriter.) If you haven’t, it’s a good read. While I am by no means a confidante […]
Happy Tuesday, Deac families! In case you missed it, we had a monster win this past weekend over Florida State. If my sports facts hold true, we were the only team to upset a Top 25 ranked team this week. The Quad got rolled, everyone […]

The Old Gold and Black is the student newspaper, which is published online. It comes out each Friday, and I thought I’d give our Deac families a sampling of the articles. Of course, you can also go online to oldgoldandblack.com and read the […]
