Devilish!

"DURHAM, N.C. – Men's lacrosse – the game, not the scandal – made an emotional and triumphant return to Duke University on Saturday.

After a traumatic, abbreviated 2006 season, which ended after eight games following an off-campus party that led to rape charges against three players and cost 16-year coach Mike Pressler his job, many are wondering if the Blue Devils can rise again and chase an NCAA title.

Duke overcame a shaky start to beat Dartmouth 17-11 in its highly anticipated season opener. Judging by the circumstances and hoopla surrounding the game, it was easy to understand the Blue Devils' nervousness." (H/T - Yahoo! Sports)

This may not be the popular, or sensitive (read: hippie) opinion, but this is the best news I have heard in quite a while. As a lacrosse coach myself, I give the Duke Lax boys credit for overcoming the garbage they have had to deal with, and starting fresh . . . by whupping an Ivy League (read: hippie) program. Good for them!
