    Coaching Carousel 2026

    Yes. By three. But lost the rematch in Durham by 15 or so. Duke went on to win the regular season title and the ACC tourney. Duke's loss to UCONN is small consolation.

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    And there's the (near)-elimination of cheating. Pre-NIL, certain programs had the administrative and alumni support to break or bend the conference and NCAA rules; other programs could not get such support. And so those rule-breaking programs rose to prominence and built their brands into...

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    LSU making a move to re-acquire Will Wade, from NC State. Likely waiting until April 1 to save $3million on the buyout. NC State unlikely to match LSU's offer. Lotsa drama down on Tobacco Road. UNC and NC State scurrying to find new HCs.

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    He was 18-0 at home this year. But LOST to rivals Duke and NC State. Unacceptable to the Rams Club. And then that first-round collapse and post-game presser fiasco. What coach would want to step into that **** show?

    2026 NCAA Tournament Thread \ ALL Games-ALL Rounds

    And amidst all that horseshaat, UNC was pushing its players thru phantom classes, for at least 23 years, beginning under Dean Smith's tenure. But that's to be forgotten, lost to history. At least in this new era of NIL, the hypocrisy is gone. Monied teams will buy the best talent, in BB and...

    2026 NCAA Tournament Thread \ ALL Games-ALL Rounds

    In NC, High Point University is known as "Country Club U." Around $72k/year. Tremendous growth since 2005. High Point was the traditional hub of the furniture industry in the USA. Annual furniture market is still very very significant. I can see where the monied supporters would want to...

    Pike Really Has to Go...

    I believe we had an interim AD as well as others involved who just were not effective. I mean, the admin saw "it" coming, and just did not effectively manage things. While we knew the program would not improve under the circumstances, to experience such a set back in performance even during...

    Pike Really Has to Go...

    Seems like "management" should have better coordinated the incoming player pipeline as well as the enabling NIL pool. The lapse is a head-scratcher. It was allowed to happen. Program incompetency, thru and thru. Yes. Now we await the great reset, believing we're taking the proper "Big Time"...

    OT: Spring Warmth, 3/5-3/12+? Winter 2025-26 - Patterns and Potential Winter Storms

    Final total here was 18". Today we managed to drive out and about a bit, in the early afternoon. Not much is open. Roads are a mess. 4WD essential to get to the main roads, which are being plowed and salted. A big melt started today and will continue tomorrow, after an overnight low of 19...

    OT: Spring Warmth, 3/5-3/12+? Winter 2025-26 - Patterns and Potential Winter Storms

    We're hunkered down in a cottage very near the Neuse River. Snow still falling and piling up. Looks like 10" down so far. Hoping it wraps up tomorrow, early. Glad I brought a set of tire chains for the Tacoma. Going to need them, as local DOT snow removal is not prevalent in this area.

    Science, logic, detail, and breathing through your nose are apparently overrated, my friend. šŸ˜‰
