duke lacrosse 2007 champ shirts?

[lax-crazy]

i know they didnt win, but I also know that who ever makes the shirts. Makes 2 championship shirts, 1 for each team. So does anyone know how i could get my hands on a duke 2007 championship shirt? I've talked about this with my brother about other sports.

why would you want one if they didnt win?

All those shirts essentially get boxed back up and are sent overseas to 3rd world countries as part of clothing drives (there was a report done on ABC new following the Super Bowl this year about what happened to all the Bears shirts that were made). The shirts (and other clothing) are given on good will, but also on the good faith that they are never to be sold outside of where they are handed out or can make their way back stateside.

On that note, a friend of mine from Rochester does have some Buffalo Bills memorabilia he picked up off of eBay a few years back touting the Bills "win" over the Giants in the Superbowl...so some of that stuff can be found with time and effort.

As a kiddo I had a sports shop print me a Michigan Basketball 1993 Champs t-shirt after Webber called that extra timeout and they choked.

With the extra year of eligibility granted, you could wait and get an '08 Duke shirt--but we'll have to see who uses that opportunity for them...

Now all the people in third-world countries will go on living their lives thinking duke won.

They would probably also wonder what lacrosse is

If the NCAA had guts, they would have made the decision before the game, as to not so obviously offer this as compensation for the failure to win the championship.

If Duke had guts, it wouldn't ask the NCAA to rectify it's own hasty judgment.

The players were victims, up to a point. Some 1/3 of the team had already had a run-in with the law (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4155/is_20060407/ai_n16191893); if they were at Oklahoma or Miami, they'd be more widely known as a problem program. There's a certain toxicity that they wallowed in. It's not a toxicity that's absent from other programs, but there's a larger issue of how athletes interact with the college, academically and socially. The school gave many of these young men scholarships, and the players seem at many levels only interested in themselves and their teammates (a trait only heightened by false accusations.) If at some point they had said "We're really sorry for what we brought upon the university, even though the allegations are false," I would have a lot more respect for their position. Instead, the team's supporters played the martyr role to the hilt, cursing the university while continuing to accept the free education that many of them are offered, and the adulation of the many who see them as poster children for a variety of ills. This could be a great time to talk about what expectations we have of young men in terms of making their communities better places while engaging in a great sport. Instead, there's a wave of self-righteous fluff about the tragedies that have occurred. Firing Nifong seems perfectly reasonable to me, but every lacrosse coach--and every coach of young men--should realize that they can, should, and must set higher standards of behavior for their players, who will meet those standards in most cases if they know what's expected. We'll all come out of it better, too. So, enough with the martyrdom stories. The lads had a year taken away, but they also took a lot away from the University (with its general complicity) and many received educations worth well over 100K, which most Americans cannot afford. Not martyrs, by a long shot.
