First, the always informative Dave Glenn continues his “information dump” regarding the NC State coaching search. Kudos to him for acknowledging the “lunatic fringe” capabilities of some pro-Sendek coaching colleagues.
Second, Dave Sez (always very solid, especially with respect to ACC basketball) makes a compelling argument about not fixing something that isn’t broken (i.e., the NCAA tournament). I agree with him wholeheartedly (certainly no need to just make it easier for coaches to hang onto their gravy train jobs without having to play a competitive OOC schedule and go .500 in league), although I could possibly see an argument for 68.
Lastly, 850TheBuzz’s Blog has recently been very active and has linked up a lot of “fun stuff” as of late. Just scroll through some of the entries. One item that you will see is this entry on NCAA 2007 that includes a link to a entry chronicling the history of the college football video game. Pretty fascinating.
