Clogging, a old dancing style where you rhythmically stomp your feet, is a revered Appalachian tradition. At Virginia Tech, a school nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains, it seems that the tradition is alive and well. Just last month, Hokie quarterback Marcus Vick made national news with his stomp of Louisville All-American Elvis Dumerville. While…

You want to know the real reason why Duke lost? Georgetown wanted it more? Shelden Williams had a bad game? Poor point guard play? Sun spots? Nope. Karma. Karma killed their perfect season. “Karma,” you ask? Yep. Karma turned it’s angry face toward Duke the second that Coach Mike Krzyzewski said this about the prospects…

I missed posting last week when Maryland’s Travis Garrison was arrested and charged with assault and a sex offense. It was a significant story, but I just didn’t get to it early enough, so I let it go. For the record, Garrison was suspended for one game for the assault. More on that in a…

01/17/06 Boston College 63, Holy Cross 53 Worcester, Mass. Yawn. 01/18/06 Duke 81, NC State 68 Durham, N.C. Great effort by NC State in this one. It was really a fun game to watch as both teams really went at it. The final margin is not at all indicative of how close the game was.…

In what should be the final Eleven (this year), the Great Bobby P pulls the curtain back on one of the most common, but overlooked plays in football – the kick for points. Nowhere else will you read a technical football article that includes references to both Shakespeare and Hoosiers! Enjoy. ——————————————————————————————— “A horse! A…

Gee, just what Duke needs, a shooting guard who can hit threes in bunches. Jon Scheyer, who will be a freshman at Duke next year, scored 21 points in a 75-second span of a loss the other night. Incredible. He had two steals, hit five threes and six free throws before fouling out. Think Maryland…

You might recall that I mentioned that I was on AOL’s Internet radio show the other day. On my segment, I talked about Duke and how I thought they were unlikely to go undefeated. Well, if this is an accurate depiction (scroll down), my words angered the mighty Mike Krzyzewski. He looks pissed, doesn’t he?

01/17/06 Holy Cross @ Boston College Worcester, Mass. Bill Simmons’ alma mater is going to face an angry BC squad. 01/18/06 NC State @ Duke Durham, N.C. ESPN 7:00 PM Duke’s first loss? Could be. State didn’t play at Duke last year, so for a lot of their players, it’s their first visit to Cameron.…

The N&O has a nice little catch-up piece on the job Matt Doherty is doing this year at Florida Atlantic. It sounds like he’s doing a nice job of rehabbing his career and image. The Owls (shouldn’t he be coaching at a school named the Eagles?) are 6-1 in league play after going 10-17 overall…
