Great feature article byAl Featherstone. Love this quote regarding our team playing during spring break: " It’s kind of the UNC experience – no classes, just hoops."

C'mon Al, don't hold back, tell us what you really think!


Watching the ESPN Selection Show Sunday night reminds me of what a terrible job CBS does with college basketball.

The network’s studio anchor desk is a joke. Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith might be a great NBA team, but neither has even an average fan’s knowledge of college basketball – watching Barkley struggle with the touch screens was just a another example of their ineptitude.

But "reporters" Seth Davis and Doug Gottlieb are also embarrassments – although, to be fair, Gottlieb told Dave Glenn last month that neither he nor Davis even pretend to be journalists … they are basically gossip columnists, posing as basketball experts.

What a shame that college basketball’s big moment every year is pre-empted by those lame CBS clowns.

I'd be okay with this...

Jim (as time expires): And once again, Duke has repeated as King of the Dance!
Raftery: Woo! You can say that again, Jim!

Along with "onions for the little guy!!!" "onions for these Dukies!" and of course, "onions!!!"
