CBS Reminds Madness is Coming
I saw my first CBS “March Madness” commercial from CBS today after Indianapolis’ first touchdown mid-way through the first quarter. Samuel L. Jackson stars. I liked it. But, I couldn’t understand what he said in the climactic line. Jackson was talking about being a coach’s son. CBS highlighted Bryce Drew’s last second shot over Ole […]
Wow! UNC-CH 109 Maryland 75
So…I titled my entry for today’s Tar Heel pasting of Maryland as “Wow!”…and then I started writing. As I was writing, I was surfing the internet for URL’s to hotlink in the article and it seems that we have consensus on today’s performance. And, it is not just Tar Heel fans giving props – even […]

Unfortunetly, the thread degenerated into such […]
ACC’s Record Streak of Seven Ends
The Atlantic Coast Conference’s record streak of placing seven teams in the AP Top 25 came to an end this week as Virginia fell out of the rankings and NC State plummeted after the Wolfpack’s embarrassing debacle in Madison Square Garden and home-court surrender to mighty West Virginia. The ACC was able to maintain its […]
BBall Stat of the Day: West Virginia
The Wolfpack’s loss in the RBC Center on Sunday at the hands of a West Virginia basketball program that has wandered aimlessly through the college basketball landscape since the days of Jerry West was another painful pill offerred up by a coach and program that simply cannot establish itself as better than mediocre in non-conference […]
