Let the depositions and risk of perjury begin! Link The Student Athletes Human Rights Project filed a complaint Friday with the federal Office for Civil Rights alleging the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discriminated against male athletes, especially black, male athletes, in assigning more of them to so-called ‘paper classes.’ In directing athletes […]
Wolfpack Baseball (17-11, 3-9 ACC, 5th Atlantic) kicks off their longest road trip of the season this weekend with a trip to Clemson for 3. Then a mid-week non-conf game in Greenville vs ECU next week precedes 4 games in 5 days at the DBAP (April 11-13 @Duke, April 15 vs Carolina). That much ballyhooed […]
Thanks to a sports injury I was laid up in bed with nothing to do for the better part of a week. During that time I had some time to watch basketball, both good and bad, and reflect on the state of the Wolfpack basketball program. Since the Pack’s 2014 Epic Fail in the round […]
Gotta give the ‘SportsChannel8’ guys credit for great work. It couldn’t have been a quick exercise to pen all of these lyrics; and, anyone with a voice that bad and the balls this big to throw it out there is ok in my book. This came out during the ACC Tournament but got lost in […]

Loved this tweet yesterday after Carolina let a win slip through its fingers — The most anti-climactic finish in NCAA Tournament history. Barring all the wins that have been vacated due to NCAA violations, of course. — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) March 23, 2014 On that topic, more media attention is on its way to Chapel […]
The Big Four fails to send team to Sweet 16 for first time since Black Sunday happened in 1979! Wow. Good news is that Virginia advanced to keep the ACC’s streak of 35 straight years of having a S16 team. Link Tobacco Road hasn’t seen a springtime drought like this in more than three decades. […]
We can’t talk about EVERYTHING of interest to you on the blog, so please don’t overlook our growing message forums linked here. Lots of great NCAA Tournament and college basketball conversation available there. If you ever wondered about the deterioration of college basketball then trying to watch some of yesterday’s games should jolt you into […]
