What did JD King write in the front page ACC Roundup?
Miami 60 Duke 56 ? really?
Then he wrote in the next line:Miami 60 BC 56
AS I remember he has made such silly mistakes for more than 3 times in the past few years. For one time he even named the wrong opponent. If he keeps making such mistakes, I strongly suggest him to be a trader.

I agree. Let's trade him and get someone from another SB Nation site in return. Here are my top 5 choices... Originally Posted by bbosbbos

4. A Sea of Blue (Kentucky): I feel like we should discuss Kentucky more.
3. Vanquish The Foe (BYU): we could use the diversity.
2. South Orange Juice (Seton Hall): why just talk about beer and coffee?
1. For Whom The Cowbell Tolls (Mississippi State): because DBR needs more cowbell.

So, in posting a public note to ask the folks who run DBR not to make a minor error in their copy, you made a minor error in your copy. Originally Posted by bbosbbos

I like his basketball articles a lot. Sometimes he exactly said what I wanted to say, especially the espn bias.
