  • The good folks (or is it folk?) at the Phog Blog paid a little visit to Ken Pomeroy’s stats, fired up Excel, tippy-tapped on a few keys and cranked out a few nifty graphs that are worthy of your perusal. What they looked at was the offensive and defensive efficiencies of the top ten (using…

  • Tis the season for endless articles about who’s in and who’s out and what teams still need to do. I love it! If my article from Monday wasn’t enough for you (and I’m sure it wasn’t), read Al Featherston’s lengthy piece at the DBR. Coincidently, Featherston uses the same power ratings I do, but he’s…

  • If so, you better sign up now! You can get a VIP Pass now which should help you get faster access to the live, FREE games. If you don’t sign up ahead of time, you have to get in the long line with the rest of the chumps. This post brought to you by the…

  • As I’ve written before, anything Al Featherston writes for the DBR is worth reading and his post on the Duke-UNC game is no exception. This time around, he focuses on the recent back-and-forth of who is better (UNC this year, Duke last year, etc.) and how it might play out in the future. For those…

  • This StateFans Nation piece on the NCAA Tournament selection process is so lengthy and thorough that I just don’t know what to say about it. They make some excellent points, but leave a lot of the conclusions, particularly applying this piece to current ACC teams, as an exercise for the reader. One point they made…

  • Goons have always fought each other in hockey and quite often it has nothing to do with what has happened during the game. These guys just like to fight. Well, this fight just takes the cake. Phoenix Coyote Georges Laraque and Raitis Ivanans of the LA Kings go at it here, and as luck would…

  • Texas Talent

    In today’s world where the ACC has swollen to 12 teams and most of the games are televised, it’s quite easy to lose track of what’s going on in other parts of the country. It’s not that you don’t care, it’s that you just don’t have time. Well, let me offer you a tip. Texas…

  • If you younguns haven’t seen Randolph Childress in action, check this little vid out. This is Childress knocking Jeff McInnis down with a crossover and then drilling a three in his face. This was during the 1995 ACC Championship, the year that Childress dominated the entire tournament. And for extra goodness, there are links off…

  • Hodge For Blake

    Just a week or so ago, Julius Hodge finally made it back to the NBA, getting some run with the depleted Nuggets. But now that their stars are about to come off of suspension, Les Nuggets felt like they needed to deal with their chemistry. There are only so many shots to be had, so…

  • Step Two: Take a pick of your junk Step Three: Make her look at the pic This is a great story (and I know I’m late to this. I need to make Deadspin a daily read.). ESPN’s smiling moron (well, one of their similing morons) Sean Salisbury evidently whipped out his cell phone one day…
