Two Heels Suspended

Butch Davis has suspended another two players for undisclosed violations of team and university policies. Jermaine Strong and Andre Barbour become the fourth and fifth players suspended in the Davis era and as has been the case in the other instances Davis is not talking. However, that may be because he legally cannot since he [...]

Gary Parrish All-Americans

Gary Parrish at CBS Sportsline continues his parade of basketball previews with his All-American picks for the upcoming season. Now, I give Parrish a lot of grief, mainly because I think his analysis(if you call it that) is fairly shallow and many of his assertions are Doylesque in nature. In his defense, he is a [...]

An Observation on Instant Replay

I have now watched two Big East games on ESPN this season. The first was West Virginia at South Florida and the second one the USF at Rutgers game tonight. In both games the speed in which Big East officials use instant replay makes ACC officials look like morons. In fact the broadcast crew from [...]

Luke Winn’s Postcard from Chapel Hill

SI.com’s Luke Winn, who is multiple levels better than his colleague Seth Davis, has an excellent article previewing the Heels this season.  Winn puts the primary focus for any success UNC might enjoy this season on the shoulders of Ty Lawson and rightfully so.  Several other players on this team are going to do wildly [...]

Be Prepared For A Queasy Two Months

Nebraska fired their Athletic Director Steve Pederson today which officially kicks off the late season sacrifice of coaches and other officials on the altar of winning college football. And as much as I would love to proceed through the rest of the season not worrying about whether or not Butch Davis might be leaving based [...]

ACC Football Week #7: Review

The more this college football season progresses the more it feels like college basketball where parity is king and the occasional upset loss is simply part of the season’s fabric. So far this seasons top ten upsets have been the rule rather than the exception and being ranked versus a non-ranked school is a dangerous [...]
