State Strongly Represented in Harris Poll
As if Buddy Green wasn’t enough throwback for one morning…Steve Czaban also made an off-handed reference to former NC State football coach Dick Sheridan when he was criticizing the new Harris Interactive BCS college football poll.

Nate Watch
From today’s Houston Chronicle: “Losing the Waiting Game? The Sonics left Nate McMillan dangling on the last year of his contract. Now they’re going to pay for it.
