Equipment budget is not the first thing I think of when cutting spending in a university athletic department. I would think it would be the last place to see cuts. Yeah that seems like a pretty misguided place to cut, but I guess there are no great options. I was also under the assumption that Nike...

I interned in Lexington one summer while at App and ate Speedy's or Lexington BBQ for lunch at least 3 times a week. Good times. But I like Texas style brisket best.....sorry, I know I am a disgrace to every other native North Carolinians, and will now see myself out. No shame. I actually smoked my...

Njock had 17 points against New Zealand. It appears that he is ready to go as promised.

He looks strong/patient around the basket. Not as tall as Wilson and Marcus, but strong. His footwork reminds me some of Griffin Kinney.

Wonder if the Kerns’ plan is to use him in the same manner.

You would think so. But they did.

I feel like it still pretty wide open. Neither of them demonstrated control over the offense after spring but that wasn’t a surprise. I agree with you. Neither ran away with anything from the spring game. I personally do think whichever one wins the gig we will be in good hands. I think that all fo...

Are you talking about the game and situational coaching or the actual alumni tailgate being a fiasco? Yeah, they were both bad but I was talking about the tailgate. The venue was way too small for the crowd and getting a seat, food and a drink was almost impossible. As far as the game we had it won...

You’re spending a lot of time arguing something that is almost certainly going to happen. Now that programs are sharing revenue with the players, the administrative bloat is going to be cut from athletic departments. Saban created the model of huge support staffs and assistants coach pools in a day...

I guess no AD should ever cut a position or sport unless they have been a coach in that sport now? Trev Albert cut wrestling and it was not like he was a wrestling coach. I said I don't know what all that our specific coaches do daily but I know what basketball coaches do. When other schools have l...

I love how you pick apart one sentence I said and ignore all the other stuff. I know what basketball coaches do and my whole point is that other schools have smaller staffs so we don't have to have 6 coaches. If other D1 schools can have 4 then we can. I am just saying if they can do it fine then w...

Neither A&M or Wyoming were great. I am a glutton for punishment. Sure I will show for alumni tailgate The alumni tailgates are always ho-hum but convenient. You show up and leave with no cleanup. The best one that I’ve been to was the one in Louisiana at the CCG. Walk-Ons catered it. Agreed it was...

That is fine but the powers that be are mainly focused on football and basketball and when the antitrust exemption happens and all the legal stuff plays out I would not be surprised if secondary sports don't like where they end up. That is true about the donors but if suggestions are being given to...

Staying at the Courtyard and walking to the Alumni Association tailgate and then to the stadium. After the Wyoming fiasco I said I would never attend another Alumni Association tailgate. The one at UNC wasn’t bad though. Are you talking about the game and situational coaching or the actual alumni t...

Wilbur’s is my go to and my measuring stick for all others. Parker’s is my #2. I’m from Fayetteville so the BBQ Hut is a good option for me.

I'm curious how you think the clash between Title IX and the the Sherman Act is going to play out. They cannot both be enforced at the same time. It is a very interesting dilemma that is headed to an impasse. In the end, I believe that Title IX is going to win and here’s why. Both the Sherman Act a...

I do prefer the bbq slaw over the ENC version.
