Well, Duke lost ANOTHER heartbreaker last night, this time to archrival UNC.  The young Duke squad jumped out to an early lead, which they maintained for 3/4 of the game, but then the bigger and stronger Carolina team inched ahead and won the game by 6 points.  My poor 8-y-o, an avid Duke fan, is definitely experiencing the "agony of defeat" ( remember the Wide World of Sports?).  I keep telling him to hang in there ~ when you are a fan, you cheer for your team when they are up and when they are down.  He's gone to bed in tears three games in a row now. Hopefully there will be an "up" soon.
