UNC Press Conference: Common Sense and Institutional Control
Never have I heard a group of individuals sound so dejected and distant. Then again, I guess there is a lot of distance to be gained from the heights UNC has fallen since the beginnings of the agent-gate investigation. Chancellor Thorp, Athletic Director Baddour, and Head Football Coach Butch Davis gave a press conference today […]
Closer Look at the Directors’ Cup

A Different View of Silence
I’m often amused by commentaries that wander along the path of facts, speculation, assumptions, and theories with the goal of reaching an ultimate conclusion.

WRAL Is Really Dropping The Ball As The Internet Police
A couple of weeks ago we highlighted some apparent recruiting violations committed by UConn students in this post. In the entry we focused on the disconnect between WRAL’s omission of coverage of substantial recruiting issues at UConn when compared to their historical coverage of making monstrous mountains out of molehills when NC State fans “FaceBook’d” […]
The ACC’s Coaching Carousel in full orbit
I was going to spend a bunch of time leading my coaching carousel entry writing about Butler’s Brad Stevens until I ran across Rush The Court’s entry on Stevens that served to save me a lot of time. You can view it by clicking here. Stevens’ profile on Tobacco Road has been elevated since the […]

Random Day One NCAAT Observations (and Looking Ahead)
First, of all – let me state the obvious, in a poorly done Comic Book Guy voice: Best. First Day. Ever! (We aren’t the only people that hold this opinion.)
