You know, I think maybe I need to make a special feature here. I could call it something like Rashad’s Crazy Action of the Week. Something like that. This guy is a goldmine! His most recent gift to opposing fans is his comparison of UNC to prison. Yes, that’s right. Prison. His quote (and you…

The ACC unveiled its new logo and divisional names yesterday. You can see the logo to the right. I have one word: UGLY! What were they thinking? Yeah, it’s sort of like the old logo, but that just doesn’t work any more. There are too many states. Did you even notice the tiny little dot…

ESPN’s College GameDay crew is coming to Raleigh this weekend to host their show at Carter-Finley in honor of the Miami-NC State game. That’s a pretty big and surprising honor for NC State. It’s not often that they go to a game featuring an unranked team. I guess they see the same potential that I…

This is a pretty interesting article from the News & Observer about the hispanic soccer league in Raleigh, Liga de Raleigh. In just four years, the league has grown to 55 teams and some teams are now recruiting pro players from Mexico! I’ve seen these teams playing on the fields, but never paid that much…

This is great. According to this article, UNC’s Rashad McCants recently got two tattoos, one on each arm. On one arm – “Born to be hated.” On the other – “Dying to be loved.” That’s awesome. I bet Dean Smith is proud. Coincidently, I think Henry Lee Lucas had the same tattoos. Edit: InsideCarolina.com had…

Man, I almost made it through the day without mentioning what a big day it is. Tonight at midnight, the college basketball season begins. Some places are holding public Midnight Madness practices, but not as many schools as in years past. Lots of coaches have decided they can’t waste a practice. In honor of the…

Virginia’s junior tight end Heath Miller is not only possibly the best tight end in the country, he might be the best in ACC history. He broke the career tight end touchdown record last year while still a sophomore. He also broke the single season catch and yardage record last year. It turns out though,…

The Tar Heel basketball team thinks (correctly) that it’s had too much of a focus on me, me, me in recent years. They swear that that’s gonna be different this year. That’s good, but then, don’t teams always say that? Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to change people. It can be done, but not always.…

When I was a kid, my friends and I would play sports every afternoon. We didn’t necessarily play the sports you see on TV. We played variants of those along with made up games that used rules that fit the geography. If a friend’s house had a wall with no windows, we’d make up a…

It looks like the News & Observer has started running their preseason rundowns of each ACC basketball team. The first piece is about Wake Forest, a team many have ranked as #1 to start the year. As coach Skip Prosser points out though, they are going to need to defend better this season if that…
