One of the oldest cliches in sports is that there is no “I” in “team.” Like most cliches, there is a solid kernel of truth in the center, albeit one that becomes so overused the people start looking past it. According to an article on WRALsportsfan.com’s website this morning, there was a lot of “I” [...]

I didn’t expect to get even madder when I read the sports page this morning. But then I read these quotes from Ben McCauley: “It may seem like it but we’re still trying to [win],” junior forward Ben McCauley said. “We’re definitely trying to. “I don’t think we’ve forgotten how to win [but] I think we’re kind [...]

As you might have gleaned from my comments in the GT post-game thread, I don’t really have the stomach for it. We are sending the kids to grandma’s house in order to attend tonight’s Ween concert in Durham. Thus, I may not be awake that far in advance of tomorrow’s 1:30 tip-off. Have any insight on [...]
