Now that the college basketball preseason has wrapped up, let’s take our annual look around the ACC to see what there is to see. Long time readers will remember that I have a simplistic way to judge when a team from a BCS conference has accomplished enough to clear the bubble and land into the […]
ACC Halfway Review
Since State has reached the half-way point of its ACC season, I thought we would take another look around the ACC and summarize where everyone is. Here are the ACC standings, RPI rankings, and performance versus RPI Top-50 after Wednesday’s games. Bubble definitions justified here. If you went back and compared these standings to those […]
ACC Mid-Season Review
I’ve done a mid-season review each of the last several years and enjoy taking a broader look at the ACC. The past several years, I’ve used the data from CBS Sports and really like they layout they have for each team. The problem is that as of lunchtime on Friday, they have not included the […]
14 GuzInto 18…
How often do you get a chance to roll TV trivia into a title of a blog entry? For full credit, list the show, character’s name, and actor’s name that inspired this title. (no search engines allowed). Extra credit to those under 30 that know the answers without cheating. As promised, we are going to […]
More Thoughts On An 18-game ACC Schedule
Several years ago when I was talking to Jeff about becoming an author here, he said one of the big advantages of writing on a blog over a message board is that you never have to type anything more than once. If the same subject comes up again, you just link what you did before. […]
Labor Day Observations from Myrtle Beach
I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Mine started Thursday morning on a trip to Myrtle Beach (sans kids) with friends and relatives. We’ve had a good time, but I’ve seen a number of things that I just had to share: – The gates along the Mason-Dixon Line are still unlocked. – […]
So What CAN You Do?
When things get tough at work, I have a friend that likes to say “Don’t tell me what you can’t do, tell me what you CAN do to help out.†I don’t know why it took me so long to connect that phrase with the steady stream of excuses flowing out of Chapel Hill over […]
A Closer Look at UNC’s NOA
Does anyone else think that it is funny that McAdoo’s plagiarism on a paper where he had already been found guilty of cheating received more press coverage than an NOA with nine major violations? Oh well, at least some in the press finally realized what the rest of us have known for the last 12 […]
Welcome to the Big Leagues
Alternative Title: You can’t run with the big dogs if you sit on the porch. Or maybe: You can’t run with the big dogs if you pee like a puppy. Then there’s always the politician’s creed: It’s always easy when you’re spending other people’s money. . . . . . …VCU’s overall university fee will […]
Another Look at Basketball Recruiting
Let’s put the full disclosure up front—-I’m not a star gazer and I frequently laugh at those who are. But with that being said, I was really surprised by a piece DU put up several months ago about the recruiting of top-ranked high school players. Among the things that I’ve learned over the years is […]
