DURHAM, N.C. A large framed photograph is prominently displayed in the reception area of the building that houses the Duke men's lacrosse program, and it speaks to a happier and less complicated time. Players are gathered around a trophy that sits on the turf. Above them, a scoreboard proclaims the Blue Devils 14-13 winners over Virginia for the 2002 ACC championship.
There are grins all around.
It was before ominous clouds formed and a thunderclap struck.
One notorious incident and much scrutiny later, the most famous/infamous lacrosse team in the sport's history is about to get cranked up again. Practice begins next Saturday and the season Feb. 24 at home against Dartmouth.
The Blue Devils are planning to be good.
That's on the field and off.
Their 2006 campaign was scrubbed after eight games and their coach forced to resign in the aftermath of an exhaustively chronicled off-campus party that resulted in rape charges against three players. Those charges were dropped last month, but sex-offense and kidnapping indictments are still pending.
