This page is a pretty good rundown of some traditions and nicknames in the ACC.

Ilian Evtimov is recovering well from his second knee surgery. This one was much less serious than the last one, but you have to be worried about a guy with two different knee injuries this early in his career.

Marion Jones is going to make the trip to Athens afterall, after winning the long jump at the Olympics Trials. She won by nearly a foot. Maybe she’s not washed up after all.

Greg Doyel has a pretty scathing and informative look into the NCAA’s investigation of Missouri. The NCAA comes off as a bunch of Keystone Kops.

Now that Shaq’s in Miami, lots of other players want to be there too. They’re calling Pat Riley on the phone begging to be part of the team. They want the open shots. They want the defensive help. They want the media attention. And mostly, they want the titles.
