I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]
An RPI article that even VaWolf can appreciate
I ran across this work from “Roll Bama Roll” and thought the community would enjoy it. (For more general college basketball discussion from this weekend I recommend that you click here.) RPI advantages BCS Schools? Hardly Some in the national media have made off-handed comments about the RPI advantaging BCS-conference schools, saying fans of schools [...]
NCAA: The UConn Benchmark
Some news and notes from the world of NCAA rules violations and enforcement that should not go unnoticed. Link Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun will be suspended for the first three Big East games of the 2011-12 season and the program has been placed on three years’ probation by the NCAA, after the body’s Committee on [...]
Georgia Tech Open Entry / NC State 79 Ga Tech 74
Would be very nice to get a home win today as two out-going coaches do battle. ——————————— NC State 79 Georgia Tech 74 (Link) NC State now has five ACC wins for the season with two games remaining on the schedule. It isn’t what we hoped for when the season kicked off under the mantra [...]

[Feb 26 Update] News & [...]
Jimmy V for Friday
This thread and the need for a Jimmy V Run in Raleigh reminded me that I had failed to previously share the following video. And…don’t be concerned…the following video is nothing like the one we ran yesterday.
What Sidney Should Have Done Last Night
Thanks to Tim Floyd and his trip to Greenville. Love the jackass in the Duke sweatshirt on the front row at ECU. So many jokes. So little time.
Van Pelt & Williams rip Terps fans
Some great stuff in this article out of Washington — The Terps and their crowd Both ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt AND Head Coach Gary Williams getting into the act. Just imagine if NC State had a Hall of Fame Coach who won a National & ACC Title within the last 10 years who was fighting [...]
State/Carolina – It Used To Be All That Mattered
Those of you under the age of 30 (or older if you didn’t grow up in North Carolina) may not remember this, but the schoolyard used to segregate itself with this simple binary choice – State or Carolina. That’s it. Things got inevitably more heated during the winter, as UNC fans had a tendency not [...]
Technician has it backwards, mistake-ridden, and wrong
Ahh…to be young, idealistic, and inexperienced. I don’t hold it against them. I’ve recognized the issue with student editorials and journalism even when I was a student. Nonetheless, we have to highlight this viewpoint from Technician that “Poor attendance equals poor performance”. Fact: After their game Sunday, Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski was asked about scheduling [...]
