After a first two rounds that matched the drama of any in recent history, we are but 48 hours away from Sweet Sixteen play. I don’t know if it’s ideal for ratings, but the most rabid sports fan couldn’t have scripted it any better. You have elite, “blue blood” programs (Kentucky, Duke, Syracuse, Michigan State), […]

Who cares what Obama thinks? Go Terps, Jackets and Blue Devils
Good luck the ACC schools today, even if Barack Obama has something against Gary Williams. Over the last 24 hours our readers have been voting on how many ACC teams will advance to the Sweet 16. A majority of 56% say that the magic number is 2. Here is hoping all three make it! You […]
