I guess I’m old. I can clearly remember when the Dean E Smith Student Activity Center, aka The Dean Dome, opened. I wasn’t even that young – I was in high school. And now that building is turning 20 and is considered “middle-aged.” As far as basketball arenas go, the Dean Dome is a pretty…

01/10/06 North Carolina 64, Virginia Tech 61 Blacksburg, Va. Huge win for Carolina on the road, despite 25 turnovers. At this point, Roy Williams has to be on the short list for national coach of the year. That he can get a team with so many freshman to maintain their composure on the road against…

The News & Observer has a very handy list up – Bob Gibbons’ Top 250 Seniors. You don’t normally see a list quite so long, so this is a nice feature. Of course, you have to wonder just how accurate it is after the top 50 or so. The ACC players: Rk Name Pos Ht…

Since I don’t think anyone should miss Barry Jacob’s unique statistical articles on the DBR, I’m going to catch up with all of them right here.

Ken Pomeroy has a thing for Shelden Williams. But that’s OK. In a post from a couple of weeks ago (I’m still catching up from the holidays), Ken compares Shelden’s numbers to teammate J.J. Redick’s and wonders why J.J. is the one being hailed as the national player of the year. As always, Ken makes…

You can subtract 3 minutes from my allotted 15 minutes of fame. I just had a brief appearance on AOL’s Sports Bloggers Live Internet radio broadcast. They had me on to talk a little about Duke and to discuss how likely it is that they’ll go through the ACC and possibly the whole season undefeated.…

If he keeps this up, I’m going to have to change the name of this site to “Dave Sez Things About Marcus Vick.” Just days after polishing off his resume for Dumbest College Athlete Ever, Marcus Vick decided to go for some extra credit. He was arrested yet again today and charged with three counts…

I never would have guessed that I’d have back-to-back posts on Marcus Vick, but here I am. This is a very interesting look at the whole Marcus Vick Stomp from the view of Will Stewart, the General Manager and Managing Editor at TechSideline.com (the top Hokie website).

With various holiday travels, I didn’t get to see Virginia Tech’s bowl win over Louisville. I read about it and watched highlights – it sounded like a good game and a solid win for the Hokies. But then I saw a video clip of Marcus Vick stomping on the leg of Louisville All-American Elvis Dumerville.…
