Gee, they spelled out ACC. That keeps it from being plagiarism.
Al, you’re asking ALLOT of this birdcage liner of a paper. How about an indepth article, published in print (Saturday’s paper had NO MENTION of the game) about how and why Duke OWNS Virginia? Or just a good game report - oh! yea! with stats…something this paper apparently doesn’t understand for any sport. No wonder they are losing money.
Okay, I know what sport this is about, but would it have killed the writer to mention the word “Lacrosse” somewhere in the article?
