Herb Sendek continues to perform his magic. Even Lazarus would say, “man, that guy’s made quite a comeback.” A few years ago, it was a certainty that the Wolfpack faithful would send Herb packing, but several good seasons later, he is finally on solid ground. Not only is he winning on the court, he’s starting…

Well, actually you can, but you shouldn’t be able to. One of the big arguments against going to a post-season playoff for football is that it would create too many extra games and thus hurt the academics of those poor student-athletes. Hooey. Most people suggest an 8 team playoff, which would take 3 rounds. That…

Former UNC quarterback and point guard Ronald Curry, who I wrote about previously, had quite a game for the Oakland Raiders last weekend. He led the team with 5 catches for 89 yards, including a 43 yard touchdown in a 13-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Curry even returned a kickoff for 10 yards. It…

The NABC is dropping their proposal for a fifth year of eligibility for college basketball players. Too bad. As I wrote here, here, here , here and here, I like the idea. As far as I know, there is still talk about a fifth year for football. Maybe the NCAA will come back to it…

I mentioned that the guys at the DBR like Skip Prosser. Well, they like Leonard Hamilton almost as much. There’s no doubt that he’s put together a deeper, more athletic team than FSU has had lately, but I’m not sure how good they’ll be. Last year’s team was essentially a bubble team and it relied…

Like a lot of other people, the guys at DBR like Wake Forest. They like Skip Prosser even more. In fact, they say that he might be the second best coach in the conference now. Remember, this is the Duke Basketball Report, so the two Williamses might not be getting their due. Still, their preview…

Every year, the Duke Basketball Report does some nice previews of each ACC team. Somehow, I missed that they started doing these last week. Here is their preview of NC State.

Ken Pomeroy has an interesting bit up comparing Wake Forest to UNC for this coming season. His point is that everyone seems to have Wake penciled in at #1 even though UNC also returns everyone, had a very similar 2003-2004 campaign and has a better recruiting class. The one factor in Wake’s favor is the…

Now, this is a cool story. 39-year-old Tim Frisby recently retired from the US Army and enrolled at South Carolina. He was a Ranger, so he’s in good shape and he wants to play football. Lou Holtz wants him and they are just waiting for the NCAA to approve. Very cool. I thought I remembered…

When I was in high school, going to a college party was one of the greatest things you could do. It was usually tough to pull off and often ended with getting kicked out. Freddy Adu doesn’t appear to have that problem. It seems he’s been bopping around some University of Maryland parties. The problem…
