Perhaps the greatest poetic justice in college sports is Duke. Yes, here is Duke, the academic bastion that somehow recruits the best basketball players in the world to play for a man with a strange last name and they dominate everyone. They're good in women's hoops. Lacrosse. Soccer. I'm sure they're good in tiddleywinks.
But they are baaaaaaaaaaaad in the one sport a majority of the NCAA membership relies upon to fund their athletic departments: football.
Still, the Blue Devils defeated Northwestern this past week 20-14 ON THE ROAD. The first win against a D-IA opponent in 22 games. The last major victory was against Clemson in Nov. 2005. The last time they went on the road to beat a D-I team was even longer--North Carolina in 2004.
