Well, here is a nice little tidbit if you're a basketball fan of the conference, there will be 273 games televised for the 2008-09 season.

He's picked on UNC's Roy Williams, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, and NC State's Chuck Amato. His latest victim: Billy Packer. This video is hilarious! (more...)

The matchups for the ACC/Big Ten challenge were announced on Tax Day this past week. North Carolina will travel to Motown on December 3, 2008, to play the Michigan State Spartans. Ah, there's nothing quite like Detroit in December. The snow. The decorative lights. The hail of bullets… Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:58:28 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/244107 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/244107 I just wanted to highlight some news all college hoops fans should be interested in: Dick Vitale was voted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. To me, this is an N.C.'er. Dickie V is one of those guys you either love or hate. Well, I love him. He's great for college basketball.

And there's nobody happier in the world than me. You see, I've been in love with the game of basketball since the age of two. The year was 1991 and my parents had just presented me with a Fisher-Price basketball hoop for my birthday. Seeing that I was just learning that my fingers weren't actually food and other now-hilarious childhood facts..

My house and office are about 5 miles from NC State University. Considering how shitty the Wolfpack generally is in pretty much every sport other than Tiddly-Winks, that isn't so bad. Widen the arc just a bit more, however, and things get decidedly more annoying. Dook (a/k/a Duke) is about 15 miles up the road, and Tarhead State (a/k/a UNC) is about 9 miles beyond that. I live in the bowels of ACC Country… Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:52:03 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/212681 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/212681 The 4th commercial in the Nike Become Legendary campaign.

The Pack is one unlikely run from being right back where they were a year ago...
