First of all--and God knows I'm the last person on earth who's a language prescriptivist--the "Okafor theory" is not even close to being a theory. You can stick whatever adjective phrase you want to in front of 'hypothesis,' but I'm going to go with "mildly interesting."

Cameron didn't like any hint of academic impropriety....he has very high standards that I appreciate. He also sounded off when Syracuse was mentioned, rubbing salt in the wound of the recent beat down.

I also appreciate Jason calling the Heels...SCUM! It was a fine break of a usually more contained verbal veneer that I liked and think needs to show itself more on the pod.

By the way, a pre-Duke-wedding cockail party should have a large screen showing the game, no one should be reduced to watching on their phones.

You know, that rant was not planned. I hadn't even meant to bring the story up but then remembered it right at the end of the podcast. As I was describing the story, I found my blood boiling and the ridiculousness of it washed over me. I did get kinda heated there, didn't I? Ha!

As for Cameron, I'm worried we are going to lose his timely commentary. He is being courted by a UVA podcast that currently has a poodle doing the barking for them. They are concerned that their increasing prominence in the world of college hoops means they should upgrade to a louder dog and they made Cameron a very nice offer. He's mulling it over. The sticking point that should keep him in our camp is their insistence that he be renamed JP.

I hear that if you send your dog to doggy day care in Chapel Hill for six months, they'll give him a bachelor's degree.

They will then offer him their 3 month program to start and complete Graduate School. Now who can turn down those deals? An undergrad and grad degree in 9 months? Sign Cameron up! He can then focus on improving his time in the 40 for the NFL Combine! :)

Very good show. I did love the "they are SCUM" line. I think you guys were a little harsh on the ACC bubble teams. Sure they have some bad losses in there, but they all have to play 7-9 games against Duke, UVA, LVille, NDame, and NC. That's ridiculous compared to EVERY OTHER BUBBLE team out there (except in the Big 12).
