I was gladdened to read the unfortunately named Luke DeCock’s piece in this morning’s paper. Without question, the Hole faculty’s silence is cowardly and indefensible. As I have noted previously, the only true “rogue” in Chapel Hill is history professor Jay Smith. He’s the only person there who gives a damn, apparently. He’s certainly the […]
Football Season Highlight on ESPNU Now
Need to remind yourself how anything can happen and/or why Jimbo’s Noles will never, ever win a national title? Watch #17 on ESPNU’s countdown of the Top 25 college football games of 2012. NC State 17, Florida State 16. It’s hot as an oven, and it’s not like you have anything better to do. Don’t […]
SFN to James Moeser: At Long Last, Have You No Decency, Sir?
I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe […]
Amerson to Washington (2nd), Glennon to Tampa (3rd), Wolff to Philly (5th)
Amerson a pretty laughable reach pick by an organization I don’t respect. Glennon finds an intriguing landing spot, a team with a young, but fringy QB in the last year of his contract. He won’t be forced to play right out of the gate, but he will get a shot late in the season if […]
Final Four/Scary Wheat Appreciation Thread
The first weekend of the dance was excellent (apart from a certain unnamed team’s flameout/bedshitting session that we, in retrospect, should have expected). However, the second weekend contained mostly uncompetitive and/or sloppy action. As well as the elimination of our beloved Coach Andy (ok, Coach Andy’s wife) and his scrappy Credit Union warriors. But we […]
Sweet Sixteen Open Thread
Apparently, this is the round where Miami takes a giant dump at midcourt. Sheesh.
Round of 32 Open Thread, Redux
Fred Hoiberg’s bunch giving the Buckeyes all they can handle. Here’s to more competitive basketball (though Marquette/Butler was epic), and two blue losses today.
Round of 32 Open Thread
Hopefully some of the later games will be more interesting than this (so far) ugly Shaka/Beilein brickfest. We can have snarky fun in the comments regardless.
Florida Gulf Coast – An Appreciation
Like most Wolfpack types, I needed something to smile about tonight (and Villanova was unable and/or unwilling). Florida Gulf Coast proceeded to put on an athletic show at the expense of the most “successful” Princeton O program. The Hoyas were surly, unsportsmanlike (kicked a guy in the head, drawing a foul…on FGCU for pushing him […]
Second Half Game Thread
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
