Miami at Houston – Miami’s biggest opponent for the rest of the year will be themselves. Unless something surprising happens, there isn’t a game left where they won’t be fairly significant favorites. It’s a bit odd for a team to have their biggest, toughest and most significant game so early in the year. I wonder…

Well, it appears that last weekend’s stinker against Louisville officially marked the opening of John Bunting Season. And the hunters are banging away on their typewriters. I promise I won’t keep linking to these articles. After all, how many different ways can they say the same thing? That said, this one is a doozy. I…

The Georgia Tech Sports Blog has uncovered quite a list – the top fourth-grade hoops prospects in the country, according to The HoopScoop Online. See the list here. Pretty amazing. Word has it, Pete Townsend of The Who is one of the talent scouts.

This is a good article on some prep basketball stars who never made it to the NBA. This isn’t a new story, but it’s important for everyone to remember that things don’t always work out. The rankings aren’t perfect (mea culpa – I’ve been ragging on Pete Gillen for taking unranked players) and the future…

The News & Observer’s Caulton Tudor says that North Carolina’s football program is on life support. He’s right. They are hurting. The thing is, they are not completely bereft of talent. They just aren’t playing well. It may not be all John Bunting’s fault, but this program needs a change. Given their reputation and resourcse,…

Miami at Houston – This is kind of an odd matchup. Miami doesn’t really have much to gain here other than maybe some recruiting help in Texas. Otherwise, you wouldn’t expect a team like Miami to go on the road against a mid-level (I’m being kind) program like Houston. As for the matchup – it…

Akron at Virginia – So far, Virginia hasn’t played anyone, but has looked good doing it. Akron is no powerhouse, but UVA completely dominated them, something good teams do in games they should win. In recent years, Virginia has struggled to put away weaker teams, but not this year. If the score isn’t a clear…

Have you wondered what ever happened to Ed Cota? Do you ever think to yourself, has he taken a charge yet in whatever European league he’s in? Well, I can’t answer that second question, but I can tell you that he has been playing in Lithuania. And here’s a snazzy highlight video to prove it!…

Caulton Tudor hit the nail on the head with this one. NC State fell on its face this weekend. Losing to Ohio State isn’t so bad, but the way State lost was troubling. Ohio State was very beatable, but State was sloppy and blew their opportunity. If last season’s game against the Buckeyes wasn’t the…
