Chancellor statusquOBLINGER Tabs Fowler with Award for Excellence

“This is the adult equivalent of when ALL the kids got a ribbon in PE” – Friend of SFN We do not want to take away from the important entry below, but we wanted to chronicle this dumbfounding news as reported at gopack.com.

WRAL/TWC to Show All NCAAT Games in HD

NCAAT Selection Thread

Naturally, UNC and Duke get cushy draws. Duke won’t play a good team before the Elite Eight. The other teams in their way? All are very weak relative to seed – #3 Xavier, #6 Purdue, #7 West Virginia, #10 Arizona. UNC doesn’t fare quite as well, despite their #1 overall seed. Still, only one decent [...]
