I’m sure it’s accidental, but it seems like after a week of intense games,

I was minding my own bidness, eating my lunch and catching up on my reading for the day, when I came across this article in the Asheville Citizen-Times about Duke’s season. The storyline was nice, about how Duke was making due with less this season, when I read the following: Early in the ACC season…

This is hardly an original observation – that the ACC has a great collection of point guards this year – but the N&O still wrote a pretty decent article about it. The most interesting part is the sidebar where Caulton Tudor ranks the best ACC point guard years. I think he is undervaluing this year’s…

I have no connections to Memphis State University, or the University of Memphis, or whatever its name is now. I don’t root for them, I don’t follow them and I don’t even really follow their league. But I have a problem with their coach, the unctuous John Calipari. Always have. Well, now ol’ Calamari has…

This just cracks me up. Don King is suing ESPN for defamation because of an unflattering “SportsCentury” piece on him. I’m not sure how to do a non-unflattering report on Don King, but I guess that’s beside the point. The really funny part is that he is suing for $2.5 billion in damages! $2.5 billion!…

“Personally, I felt like tonight that those guys weren’t that good, to be honest with you. I only can see it through my eyes. I felt we should have won the game.” – Maryland guard John Gilcrhist after last night’s game when Wake Forest won by 15. Wake was up by 21 at the half…

This new NCAA idea of penalizing schools for not graduating players is a bad idea. Bad. Let’s think it through, shall we? The NCAA inherently distrusts it’s participating schools, right? I think the one trillion page rulebook kinda makes that clear. OK, so we know that the schools aren’t to be trusted. And now what…

Virginia tight end Heath Miller announced yesterday that he will forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL draft. Miller set pretty much every ACC season and career record for tight ends. He was a unanimous first team All-American this year and won the Mackey award as the nation’s top tight end. Miller…

You may have noticed that I have a tendency to poke fun at NC State fans from time-to-time here. The reason why is simple – it’s so easy! For one, I live and work near Raleigh, so am surrounded by State fans. The Pack faithful are also by-and-large very rabid and extremely sensitive to any…

The SportsProf has a nice article up debating Doug Gottlieb’s article on espn.com about the Basketball Hall of Fame. Gottlieb’s beef is that certain coaches, including Eddie Sutton and Jerry Tarkanian belong in the Hall (and unfortunately, he denigrates John Wooden and Pete Carril to make his point). Of course Gottlieb likes Sutton, he played…
