    Tough Tony Davis has passed

    The smart one in my circle of friends took a lot of classes with Vince. In some of their shared classes the professors would hand out test papers with the highest grades directly to the students during class. My friend reported Vince was often one of the students who was singled out for this...

    Sandfort

    I have friends who have three sons. The two oldest are 2 years apart. The youngest son was born on the oldest son's 16th birthday. The dad and the two older brothers used to coach the youngest in sports like little league. All three boys are now adults and successful in every way possible. (At...

    Lloyd tells UNC to **** off

    My brother-in-law who lives in Cary, NC went through two years ago a RIF at his job with Duke Energy. Since then, he has been teaching business classes at UNC. His son just graduated with a PhD in Astral Physics and got a job teaching at NC State. I like to describe his son as a taller, sweeter...

    Tough Tony Davis has passed

    One afternoon my freshmen year I happening to be walking by the lounge on the way to the elevator on my floor in Harper when Tough Tony walked out of the elevator. I stopped and watched what he was up to. He walked down the hall, pounded on a dorm room door, waited for a moment and then walked...

    Audi Crooks

    You can't run from the obvious. She is too big. Whenever anyone mentions it, Crooks gets defensive. It hinders her ability to run the court and play defense. She uses it to her advantage around the rim but everywhere else it is a liability.

    Patience for Matt Rhule

    I can no longer watch Matt the Hat. He is an empty suit as far as I am concerned and will no longer listen to his press conferences.

    Visit Preview: 50+ recruits expected at Nebraska spring game

    Just turned on the game. What is the attendance? It looks low with all the empty seats. Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't there been spring games in the past with 50,000 to 70,000 fans in attendance.

    Typical Williams loss

    Why is Kylee Phaben from Omaha going to Minnesota? I do not understand why the best player from Nebraska is going out-of-state. Is Minnesota paying more NIL money for her services?

    What was your favorite high school job?

    I worked as a clean-up boy for a car dealership. Had a tough boss who was a 3-5 pack/day Kools chain smoker who quenched his thirst by mostly drinking CC and coke, but more importantly he did not micromanage me. He expected me to do my job. I cleaned 3 bathrooms per day, cleaned windows, moped...

    Bball coaching jobs rumor mill

    My in laws live in Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill). I agree with everyone that NC does not spend NIL money the way some other schools do and a coach is always going to be compared to Duke, but North Carolinians are not for the most part Duke fans. In Chapel Hill you will see t-shirts...

    OT: Anyone ever had a loved one with Dementia?

    One of my best friends from high school is already getting dementia. Just turned 71. He was the guy who was way ahead of the rest of us when it came to girls. He has been married for forever and has three grown daughters. Knows more about cars and motors than anyone I know. He hast had very few...

    Typical Williams loss

    They need a decent point guard. Hake is inconsistent and Kennadi is too small and too slow. I hope Potts is healthy next season. Prince, Hardgrove, Potts and the freshman recruit from Wagner, SD should be a good group to build around. I would have Bozan doing George Mikan drills all summer and I...

    Typical Williams loss

    Huskers looked tired in the 4th quarter, Williams needs to teach them how to inbound the ball (they blew the Michigan State game by not being able to get the ball in, so it is not anything new) and I think it was a BS call on Petrie with 3 minutes to go. I thought a foul could have been called...

She was visiting her mom and younger brother in North Carolina. Little bother went to Purdue too but he got his MBA at Chapel Hill so...
