We Reminisce: Randolph Childress Breaks Jeff McInnis’ Ankles
With Wake Forest on TV right, I don’t know why, but it got me thinking of how good Randolph Childress was for the Demon Deacons – especially during the 1995 ACC Tournament. Named tournament MVP, Childress carried Wake to the title averaging a ridiculous 35.7 points and 7 assists per game. In the championship game [...]

Michael Jordan makes the cover of 2K11, Youtube says…
If they were going to to put a former player on this year's cover, then I was holding out hope that everyone's favorite Jeff McInnis would get the honor this time around.
Sadly, Jeff will have to wait at least one more year.
MJ gets the nod this time around, which I think is really cool since his on the court exploits haven't been remotely relevant since back in the...

Shannon Brown Could Be Cavs Next Big Loss
The Cavs show a lack of ability when it comes to talent evaluation and consistently giving young players a chance. The Cavs have lost players like Jason Kapono, Luke Jackson and others due to their inabilities. Shannon Brown is set to become the next athletic, talented player to be run out of town to try and contribute somewhere else where he can get an opportunity.

A stroll down memory lane.
Via Tar Heel Blue:
1957 - The top-ranked Tar Heels completed the first undefeated regular season in ACC history with an 86-72 win on March 1. The game was highly anticipated because Duke had nearly won at Woollen Gym three weeks earlier before Tommy Kearns’ two free throws pulled it out. Carolina went on to complete “McGuire’s Miracle”...

Week Long Series: Oak Hill Academy (Part IV) Oak Hill Becomes “NBA High” For Carmelo, Others
After the power teams of the early 90s featuring Jerry Stackhouse, Jeff McInnis and Curtis Staples, Oak Hill fell off (by their standards), dropping as low as 22nd in the country in 1997. But a national championship during the 1998-99 season was just a precursor to what became the most successful decade in the program’s history. The 2000s have seen Oak Hill become a factory for...

Coach K In Hollywood??
Oh God.
This is one of the worst feelings I have ever felt in my life. The coach of the team I hate more than any team that has ever played organized sports may leave to coach the pro hoops team I love more than any other. Coach K to the Lakers. God.
So, I'll look at this from two sides. Purple for my Laker side....blue for my Carolina side.
