You have to hand it to UNC: those guys have unmitigated gall. Before their new chancellor has her first day on the job, and before lame-duck Chancellor Holden Thorp can announce whatever his “blue-ribbon” panel led by led by Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, has come up with, UNC athletic director [...]

Just Another Top Ten Matchup in Raleigh – FSU Weekend Preview
For the second time in three weeks, the eyes of college baseball will be focused on Doak Field. No need to get cute with this one (but that doesn’t mean I won’t eventually at some point…but business first) as this is just as big of a series as the UNC-CH series was two weeks ago. [...]

Amerson to Washington (2nd), Glennon to Tampa (3rd), Wolff to Philly (5th)
Amerson a pretty laughable reach pick by an organization I don’t respect. Glennon finds an intriguing landing spot, a team with a young, but fringy QB in the last year of his contract. He won’t be forced to play right out of the gate, but he will get a shot late in the season if [...]
