You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t yet written one word on the Duke Lacrosse team rape story. There’s a good reason for that. The story is so big, so controversial, so important, so complicated and so sensitive that I just haven’t felt like I could devote the time it would take to craft something that…

I like Gregg Doyel. I do. He digs up a lot of good information that no one else finds and better, he’s one of the few national sportswriters who’s willing to go after a big name or big program if he thinks it’s warranted. In this case, he’s off base though. Doyel savaged NC State…

Ken Pomeroy has a new post up where he talks about a new statistic on his site – Assist Rate. Like his other statistics, it takes a common stat and adjusts based on a team’s tempo so that you can more accurately compare a team like UNC to a team like Princeton. The top 100…

If you’ve been on the Internet in the last day or two, you’ve probably heard this rumor swirling – NC State has met with and offered John Calipari their head coaching job. You can read the details a number of places, but David Glenn probably has the best sources. According to Glenn, Calipari was “overwhelmed”…

After riding the bench all season, Denver Nuggets rookie and former NC State star Julius Hodge finally got shot. Not a shot, but shot, as in three times in the “lower body” while driving in his car. Fortunately, it sounds like Jules is doing fine and is expected to be playing again in just two…

David Glenn had a post a couple of weeks ago where he took a look at Herb Sendek’s ten-year career at State (this was before Herb stepped down). To show how Sendek compared to other ACC coaches, he listed the accomplishments of every coach who coached at least ten years in the ACC. It’s a…

David Glenn, for my money the best ACC sports journalist on the radio, has a very nice take on the Rick Barnes to NC State rumors. Glenn, as you might imagine, has some good contacts, so if he says that State has had conversations with Barnes via intermediaries, you can believe it. Even though they…

Well ladies, what are you waiting for? Bid for a date with 76ers heartthrob Shavlik Randolph! Only one person has bid so far (imagine!), so if you want it, odds are the date’s yours. p.s. Winners will be asked to help Shavlik cut his steak. (Thanks to the DBR for that find)

Nothing works Chris Chase into a frothy lather quite like the sight of J.J. Redick running around in a Duke uniform. Watching the talented senior inspired Chris to imagine that he was J.J. himself and write this piece of poetry: The bouncing basketball echoes through the gym, But maybe it’s merely my heart. Fans cheering,…
