This is a very interesting editorial in Maryland’s student newspaper. Jeremy Craig says he is no longer going to games. He’s fed up. He’s fed up with the school’s crackdown on fans. He’s fed up with the sterile environment in the new Comcast Center. He’s fed up with the idiot fans. Lastly, he’s fed up…

I’ve written a bit before about the curious situation with Duke recruit Greg Paulus. There isn’t too much new to report on the story. And that by itself is something. You see, Paulus orally committed to Duke a couple of years ago, but his first chance to officially sign a letter of intent ends today.…

I recently found a new blog, The Mid-Majority. It’s slick and well-written and as you might guess, it focuses on mid-major hoops programs. It’s definitely one to add to your regular reading schedule. In this article, Kyle makes a great argument that the NCAA Tournament is better for having the at-large bids, even if they…

For some reason, I haven’t celebrated in this space yet. Allow me to rectify that – yaaaah, college basketball is here again! I watched some of the Wake Forest game the other night. It felt good. Wake looked good (and so did GW, by the way. That’s a pretty good team). NC State played last…

The rumors have been going strong for a couple of weeks now, but it’s looking like it’s a done deal. The evil Steve Spurrier is going to Columbia, SC. Sure, they are still hedging a bit, but it sounds like everyone knows what’s going to happen. Lou Holtz will retire after the season and hand…

It’s nothing like the famed basketball games, but Duke and UNC do still have something of a football rivalry. Recently, it’s been a game less about who’s better than about who’s worse, but still, they don’t like each other and that has to count for something, right? This year, the game has a little extra…

Alright, let me hear you out there. Who’s fired up about the start of Ivy League basketball?!! Huh? Anyone? No? Ah well, me neither. I have nothing against it, mind you, but it is the Ivy League. That said, the SportsProf wrote up a very long and impressive review of the upcoming season in the…

It seems that Stwart Mandel of Sports Illustrated thinks that Charlie Whitehurst is the biggest dissapointment in college football. I can’t argue with him. In fact, I was thinking that very thing just the other day. It’s really hard to explain why he’s so bad this year, tenth in the conference in pass efficiency. Lack…

It was a good weekend for Virginia football. No, not American football; the Cavaliers lost to Miami on Saturday. No, it was a good weekend for football, as in futbol. Soccer. The fourth seed Cavaliers won their ninth ACC Tournament Championship (there have been 18 ACC soccer tournaments), beating Maryland 2-1. Shortly after Virginia continued…

This is a pretty funny (in a cute sort of way) SI piece on the various reasons to love or hate Duke basketball. I’m sure the Duke hates, who are legion, could come up with a few hundred more reasons, actually.
