There is really not much to report out of spring practice for UNC. Barring injury or Quan Sturdivant destroying something, we thought that would be the case. There only attention worthy item on the agenda was the quarterback position. IC is reporting(with a tinge of disappointment in the tone) that the highly anticipated epic spring [...] Continue reading Spring Football Winds Down; Spring Game Saturday I actually do not have an issue with media folks issuing rankings for next season but they really should wait until the NBA Draft process has shaken out. Every single ranking put out by these guys carries the disclaimer: “Hey this could change” or “I am going to make 75 assumptions here that might not [...] Continue reading Checking Those Wildly Premature Rankings For Next Season Just to bring you up to speed. Georgia Tech’s Paul Hewitt flirts with St. John’s but decides to stay in Atlanta. Yellow Jacket fans mourn. Boston College fires Al Skinner and hires Cornell’s Steve Donahue. Clemson’s Oliver Purnell surprises everyone, including people who allegedly know, by leaving for DePaul. No move yet from Clemson. Wake [...] Continue reading ACC Coaching Scorecard
Via Deadspin. This is a little comparison of the Charlotte Observer the day after UNC won the 2009 NCAA title vs yesterday. UNC enjoyed a giant splash on the front page whereas with Duke you were referred to the sports section. The Greensboro News & Record went pretty [...] Continue reading Front Page Comparison I will stress this is from UNC player Twitter feeds and for all I know they could be screwing around. However, given some other things I have heard, this is probably legitimate: First up John Henson: @ldrew2 they say @eddavis32 announcing his return this week… Next Larry Drew: RT @johnhenson31 @ldrew2 they say @eddavis32 announcing [...] Continue reading Twitter Noise: Ed Davis Staying? Well, with the close of that monstrous version of “One Shining Moment,” (seriously, is the NCAA determined to ruin everything about the Tournament?) Duke is the new National Champion. The crowning of a new champion always spurs a desire to rank them against their predecessors; this desire is even stronger when the new champ is [...] Continue reading Ranking the NCAA Tournament Champions Needless to say this season for a UNC fan could be called the worst case scenario. A year ago we were all in Blue Heaven. UNC won a 2nd national title in five years. Roy Williams seemingly had a train rolling that no one was going to slow down. In fact we were all so [...] Continue reading Coping With a Duke National Title We hold out hope that Butler figures out how to stop Duke from reigning threes down on them or better yet Duke shoots 2-25 from behind the arc. Otherwise, I don’t there is much that is going to prevent Duke from winning their fourth national title nor derail the media train which will proclaim that [...] Continue reading NCAA Championship Open Thread “All this has happened before, and it will happen again.” — Cylon proverb from Battlestar Galactica As the Evil Empire prepares to play for a national championship, it is easy to draw a parallel to a time not all that long ago when the roles of Duke and UNC were reversed. The time was 1992, [...] Continue reading Yin meets Yang Make no bones, this is a weak Final Four when you consider the caliber of players here. Someone can argue that 2006 was weak based on the lack of a #1 seed and an #11 being there. However, Florida had NBA players. I think UCLA has a couple. This Final Four is more about the [...] Continue reading NCAA Final Four Open Thread Other than a couple of open threads for the remaining NCAA Tournament games or barring Ed Davis dropping some massive bombshell on Twitter, blogging will be light until Tuesday. The weather, at least in North Carolina and on the east coast promises to be nice and I usually take a break following the season. Enjoy [...] Continue reading Blogging Will Be Light |
