But the information about his girlfriend and her pet name for him was false, planted by a person who wished for the Cameron Crazies to embarrass themselves. If the Cameron Crazies had chanted 'Myra Piggy,' it would have sounded like 'Myron Piggie,' the name of a former basketball coach and crack cocaine dealer who pleaded guilty to giving money to college basketball players, including former Blue Devil Corey Maggette, in one of Duke's scandals.
The prank worked, conceded Duke senior Stephen Rawson, the student in charge of controlling student admission to games and passing out the cheer sheets.
'We got hoodwinked on that,' he said. 'Somebody pulled a fast one on us.'
A person claiming responsibility for the false information called The Diamondback Thursday night. The caller, a 23-year-old male from North Carolina who operated under the pseudonym 'Lance Nichols,' said he received an e-mail copy of the cheer sheet for Duke's last home game against Virginia. At the bottom of the sheet is a screen name, CheerSheets, that students can instant message to 'contribute for the next game.'

Luciana Chavez -
Covers Duke for the Raleigh News and Observer. Most of her articles are complete puff pieces on Dook.
Take a look at some of Luciana's writing:
In his dorm room, Randolph rolls around on an office chair his roommate, Duke track and field athlete Harrison Till, reclaimed from a sidewalk.
Now free from the nagging pain in his foot, a relaxed Randolph celebrates by gaining weight.
At home, Randolph's mom, Kim, fills her son's plate and rejoices when he asks for more. Before bedtime at his dorm, Till makes two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or two protein shakes, ready to offer one to his friend.
and.....
To keep students on the same page with cheers, line monitors, the student group in charge of coordinating the Crazies, are handing out cheer sheets. They contain regular cheers and information on the opponent for each home game.
Past Crazies never needed cheer sheets. Recently, though, sheets have been distributed to students. Current head line monitor Donald Wine promised the practice would continue all season.
Does Luciana cover a kindergarten class or a basketball team? Is she on Dook's payroll?
update. Some more pathetic pieces by Luciana, Fall 2007:
K's business ethics lecture
K on XM Radio
Another Puff Piece of Coach K and the US National Team
Fluff on K's family and the olympics
