History of the mascot:
As World War I ended, Duke's Board of Trustees lifted their quarter century ban of football on campus leading to an interest in naming the athletic teams. Because of the ambiguity, the student newspaper, the Trinity Chronicle launched a campaign to create a new mascot. The Trinity Chronicle editor narrowed the many nominations down to those that utilized the school colors of dark blue and white. The narrowed list consisted of Blue Titans, Blue Eagles, Polar Bears, Blue Devils, Royal Blazes, and Blue Warriors. None of the nominations proved to be a clear favorite. That year, the football season passed with no official selection.

Men?s basketball:
Duke University's men's basketball team is one of the best-known in US college sports, and its rivalry with North Carolina is widely noted. The fourth-Winn ingest college basketball program of all-time, the team has had great success over the past 25 years under Coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Women's basketball
During the 1990s and 2000s, the Dukes women's basketball program has become a national powerhouse. Duke made ten NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances, seven Elite Eight appearances, four Final Four appearances, and two appearances in the NCAA Championship game during her tenure. In the 2000-01 season, the Blue Devils posted a 30-4 record, won the ACC Tournament and ACC regular season championships, and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The 2001-02 season produced similar success. She led the Blue Devils to a 31-4 record and a NCAA Final Four appearance. Duke became the first ACC school to produce an undefeated 19-0 record in the ACC by winning the regular season and Tournament titles.

Football
The football team has fallen on hard times over the past ten years, but still can lay claim to a great history. The most famous Duke Football season came in 1938, when Wallace Wade was head coach and the "Iron Dukes" were born. Wade shocked the college football world by leaving Alabama for Duke in 1930. Wade's success at Alabama translated well to Duke's program, most notably in 1938, when his "Iron Dukes" went unscored upon the entire regular season. In fact, that Duke team is one of three in college football history to have gone undefeated, unscored upon, and untied in the regular season.

Men's lacrosse
The men's lacrosse program has been a recent powerhouse rivaling the traditional four of Syracuse, UVA, Princeton, and Johns Hopkins. The team reached the national championship game in 2005 and 2007, losing to Johns Hopkins by a single goal and accumulating season records of 17-3 both times.

Women's golf
The women's golf team has recently been the most successful team on campus. In the 2000-2005 seasons, Duke's head-to-head record was 796-45-3. The team won national championships in 1999, 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2007 as well as 12 consecutive ACC championships from 1995-2007.
