We saw this nugget from The Technician a few weeks ago, but didn’t have the time to express our thoughts at the time. In a finding which no doubt caused Bob Kennel to close his eyes and shake his head disapprovingly: The WITH program has not received as much positive feedback as Student Government would […]
Why I Don’t Get Worked Up About Avent
As you no doubt know by now, the Georgia Bulldogs advanced to the CWS yesterday, shit-canning the Pack Nine 17-8. I was disappointed, but in no way surprised or really upset. Elliott Avent has been at State a long damned time. He has not won an ACC title, and twice bumped up against the “Sendek […]
Post-Lotto ESPN Mock Draft – Hickson at #25 to Rockets
Here’s your linkage. Just in case you were harboring any miniscule hopes for Hickson’s return (which SFN certainly never encouraged) – you can let them go now.
NCAAT Second Thursday (Huzzah for the Cougars)
UNC is all alone carrying the banner of evil in the big dance. Standing in their way is perhaps their worst matchup – the grinding, defensive-minded Washington State Cougars. In a way, we’re all CougFans tonight, but no way do we adopt after that wicked mojo we put on Clemson. I remember a bad 80s […]
Billy Packer – Patron Saint of Objectivity
It was the rarest of rarities (aside from Wolfpack championships) – a long profile in Sunday’s N&O that seemed tailor made for me. There are tons of great anecdotes (don’t miss the “shard grabbing” story) – read the whole thing. But the overriding theme reinforces what I like about Packer – his near slavish devotion […]
Saturday NCAAT Thread (Down Goes Evil! Down Goes Evil!)
Belmont almost took Duke out Thursday night, and Huggy Bear and crew finished the job today. UConn and asshole-in-chief Jim Calhoun were bounced yesterday. UNC is the last team left to carry the banner of evil in the big dance. Still bummed about our Tigers, but it could be worse.
Hold That Tiger! Clemson/Nova Live Blogging
So far today, the Tampa pod has seen upset wins by Western Kentucky (best game of the tourney so far), San Diego (guttiest performance of the tourney so far, winning after 2 best players fouled out in OT), and Siena (surprising rout of Vandy). We’ll see if the court has enough mojo to lift the […]
NCAAT Thursday Thread
I’m just about ready to head home and watch the action. Georgia/Xavier could be interesting, and Michigan State/Temple could be a combined 90-point effort. Purdue/Baylor is an interesting 2:55 matchup. Friday, of course, is our big day where “ORANGEfansNation” will be in full effect. Go Vols! Go Longhorns!… I will be live blogging the Clemson/Nova […]
WRAL/TWC to Show All NCAAT Games in HD
I’m looking forward to being glued to my couch from after my business lunch on Thursday until Sunday night. Cable companies may very well be evil, but they just bought a whole hell of alot of goodwill with me! The new wrinkle this year is running all 4 HD feeds at concurrently – no more […]
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 […]
