Walt, the creator of Inside FSU Football asked me a few questions about this weekend’s Virginia-Florida State game and I answered them.

Enough with football! The college basketball exhibition season has begun! The thing about exhibition games these days is that you have to be very careful what conclusions you reach from the results. Because of the Rudy Gay rule, teams now have to play lower-division college teams instead of those roving bands of former stars, so…

David Glenn has a post up today with the details that he knows about the early stages of the UNC coaching search. The most interesting section is the one where he talks about the coaches who have initiated contact with Carolina. Two names stood out on that list – Rich Rodriguez, who talked about the…

If it weren’t for YouTube, no one would have ever heard this tree fall, as it fell in ESPNU’s forest. An announcer, evidently Brian Kinchen, was talking about how you have to use your soft hands to catch a football when he decided to punctuate his lesson be observing that “that’s kinda gay.” Whoops? Am…

Dear Diary, Tonight was a tough night. And I really thought things had been getting a lot better with Kirk and the play-by-play job. I try so hard, and Kirk is a nice enough guy most of the time, but sometimes he just makes me feel like I’m two inches tall! More of that genius…

This story has to sting Tar Heels a bit. Six years ago, when Carolina hired John Bunting, Pete Carroll, who has built a dynasty at USC, was available and very interested in the UNC job. Dick Baddour never called him. Ouch. In fairness, Carroll was hardly a juicy prospect at the time. Sure, he had…

Caulton Tudor wrote an article today about how Carolina could conceivably make a strong play for Butch Davis and hire him now instead of waiting. Since Davis isn’t currently working, there’s nothing stopping him from accepting a job now. If UNC goes after an active coach, they’ll probably need to wait until the season is…

We’ve all grown tired of the ever-increasing presence of advertising in our sporting events. First it was signs and then logos on the field/court and now even digitally-superimposed annoyances. But this may be a first, advertising that actually seriously injures a participant and very nearly seriously affects the outcome of the event – in this…

Give Dick Baddour credit, he didn’t make John Bunting suffer any more than he had to. After UNC’s crushing 23-0 loss on national television to the mediocre Virginia Cavaliers, it was no longer a question of if but of when Bunting would be let go. By doing it now, Bunting might just get a sympathy…

Do you guys remember Dave Stewart, the former MLB pitcher, most famously of the A’s? He was a bad ass, one of my favorite players at the time. These days, Stew is doing some online video work with a website called NBX.com. In this clip, he tells an awesome story about how former Texas Rangers…
