Hope your Fourth was as much fun as mine. The family checked out Colonial Downs and we recommend it highly. (However absolutely pay the $10 for the Turf Club. Trust me.) It's always fun to be paid to celebrate a holiday. And I think that's exactly what the fine folks at Colonial Downs wanted to h......

I'm bitter.The rest of the free world is either on the beach or driving to the beach (or like Kelly Mehrtens got a new job at the beach), and I'm sitting in my office, working away, with sweaty pits because my employer has chosen to fire up the AC unit to "permafrost." The near-fetal-position I'v......

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is very timely. I hate recruiting, for so many reasons. This is not to spit on the folks that follow it closely; everybody has their specialty. I just personally hate recruiting and have no use for it. It's kind of like Paris Hilton--I have no use for her, but a......

As widely reported, Scott Cherry, an assistant to Jim Larranaga at George Mason, is leaving NoVa to head to Western Kentucky to coach on Darrin Horn's staff. Yes it is a minor note, but a Cherry quote stood out to me:"I'm excited about the opportunity that coach Horn is providing not just for me,......

College Hoops Net has begun its annual summer gasfire--the ranking of 144 teams in 144 days. The list is certainly a conversation starter for the summer months, when less-evolved sports fans are following NFL training camps. They've reached #123 (Albany) and no CAA squad has seen the light of day......

Methinks I should retire from the Sunday updates. Or at least get enough coffee in me to sustain some sort of clarity. In one post I made two mistakes that have been updated--VCUs Maynor is in the Final 14, not the final roster, which is more of a clarification. And Jonathan Tannewald is from Phi......

Hofstra has made it into the CHN 144 teams in 144 days. The Pride crack the ranking for the CAA at #122. I'm currently sketching my preseason rankings on napkins and tablecloths, and I have Hofstra at #4. And that, of course, means nothing....

Sorry--I still like Lee Corso.So I got chat with Old Dominion head coach Blaine Taylor today, and probably the most striking statement that came out of his mouth was very humanizing:"The thing about our league," he said, "is that a team can get going good; then they can get going better; then the......
