Terrapin Captain A Dukie?

This is crazy. Almost all college students root for their own school in every sport. In a few cases, you find a kid who sticks to their childhood team despite going to a different school. But an athlete rooting against his own school (not in his sport)? That's unheard of (by me)! To make this even more unlikely, we're talking about a Maryland athlete rooting for Duke. In basketball! It's hard to think of too many more vitriolic rivalries right now than Maryland-Duke, with the bulk of the hatred coming from College Park.

So how does this guy do it? I mean, he's even a captain of the lacrosse team! I think you can find the answer in his size - the dude's 6-4, 240. Who's going to say anything?

Hat tip to the DBR for finding this one.

Good Article. Looks like all 4 ACC squads will get in the NCAA tournament when it is announced Sunday night. I expect both DUke and UVA to make it to Baltimore if the brackets work out.

I'd love for UVA to get a third shot at the Blue Devils in the tourney.
