  • A poster to the message board at DukeBasketballReport.com wrote up a great article – The Five Secrets of K-Ville and Tenting. In it, he dispels many oft-repeated myths about Krzyzewskiville and the supposed hardships endured by it’s citizens.

  • This is pretty funny, a Maryland fan succeeded in tricking Duke’s Cameron Crazies into chanting about their own Myron Piggie scandal (info) during Wednesday’s game against Maryland. The Terp fan pretended to be a Dukie (JerseyKidatDuke) and gave the CheerSheets folks some “inside information” about Nik Caner-Medley. He told them that Nik’s girlfriend is named…

  • I know this may be old news to some of you. I’ve been meaning to post about it since the story came out, but I’m just getting around to it. What I’m talking about is Andy Katz’s article from a couple Fridays ago about TV’s influence on ACC schedules. It’s something I didn’t know and…

  • Ignored Eagles

    Boston College, who will be joining the ACC next year, is having a tremendous basketball season. They are one of only three undefeated teams left in Division 1 at 16-0 and ranked #8. While I’m glad that they are strong and will add a good team to the conference, I still think Boston College is…

  • Ramble On

    Leaves are falling all around, It’s time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I’m much obliged For such a pleasant stay. Hope is rambling on from Pete Gillen and the Virginia Cavaliers. It’s a gimmicky article, but well done. And accurate.

  • When I saw this article in the Winston-Salem Journal about how Roy Williams wants to spice up the Dean Dome crowd, I assumed he was pushing for more students near the floor. Unfortunately, this article talks more about improving the TVs and piping in music. Um, Roy, that’s not what made Carmichael so great and…

  • Fly Away Owls

    Time for a little break from college hoops. The SportsProf wrote a great piece on Temple football. How is it possible to write anything interesting about Temple football, you ask? Well, it’s not easy, but the Prof did it. In this essay, he argues for Temple to drop the sport, but the interesting stuff is…

  • State Satire

    This is nice. StateFansNation.com has come up with an exclusive story – evidently Herb Sendek and Lee Fowler each issued public statements of support for other. The statements came within minutes of each other but were apparently completely unrelated. You can read the story here. Well done, JPS.

  • You’ve probably noticed that I link to a fair number of Bill Simmons’ articles. I like the guy. He’s a great writer and I’ve been reading his stuff since before he joined ESPN.com. But. Man, has the success of the Red Sox and Patriots made him insufferable. If you didn’t read his article earlier this…

  • Strawberry Out

    Maryland sophomore DJ Strawberry tore his ACL in practice this week and is out for the season. That’s tough news for the Terrapins, as Strawberry is one of those glue guys – he does a little of everything. He’s probably their best defender and, as the sixth man, brings a ton of energy off of…
