Heels Egg Hokies’ House Before Halloween
In the course of back-to-back Thursday night ESPN showcase games, North Carolina went from blowing an 18-point lead against Florida State to gutting it out over Virginia Tech for one of the biggest wins in program history. ACC football — even Forrest Gump thinks the uncertainty is a little ridiculous.
Casey Barth kicked a 21-yard field [...]

With all respect to the Jeffersons….
We’re movin’ on up! To the East Side….
You know the rest. And, I guarantee these to be the final Guaranteed Picks under the WRBZ-AM umbrella. Take them for what they likely are — losers — and remember that they are only guaranteed in that they are mine and they are picks.
We’ve all seen it. Moving [...]

ACC Blogger Roundtable: Coffee & Tacos Edition
The ACC bloggerati made the poor decision to include me in their roundtable discussions. Simple concept — author of ACC team centric blog asks some questions and a bunch of other authors of ACC team centric blogs answer. This week’s edition will be the first and only round of questions hosted by THEE Blog. Participants [...]

Bowden Hopes Russell Wilson Has Swine Flu
Bobby Bowden dropped by the morning show to discuss Florida State’s home game against NC State, getting the critics off his back, and whether or not he’s made a decision concerning his coaching future. He only had one question for us — is H1N1 making its way through Raleigh?

Cliff F’n Lee
Cliff Lee dominated on the mound and put the Phillies right where they want to be — up 1-0 in the World Series after taking the Yankees at their place. Lee threw a six-hitter while
striking out 10 without a walk. Alex Rodriguez was the most vexed, striking out three times. Lee had a shutout going until the [...]

Jake Delhomme — Your Starting QB This Week
Heads explode. A.J. Feeley and Matt Moore should consider retiring from the NFL if they can’t beat out a guy who has thrown 4 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Sigh.

East Carolina 38, Memphis Just Watching
East Carolina was good enough and fortunate enough to beat Memphis 38-19 last night — in spite of themselves. Could you commit a few more penalties, guys? 9 in all, but the team didn’t have to answer for any of them because Memphis was powerless to stop the Pirates on the ground. Maybe the [...]

Hardball, Hardwood and hard to watch in Memphis.
East Carolina was good enough and fortunate enough to beat Memphis last night — in spite of themselves. Could you commit a few more penalties, guys? Memphis was powerless to stop the Pirates on the ground. Of course, maybe the Tigers forgot that the game was on Tuesday. It certainly looked as though the fans were [...]

O Captain! My Captain! What’s Wrong With The Canes?
The Carolina Hurricanes have been in a slump, going 0-3-3 since beating Florida 7-2 on October 9th. So what gives? Captain Rod Brind’Amour stopped by the morning show to assess where his group his headed. Bottom line — the Canes need to score so the odd bounce or bad goal is not the difference of [...]

Fox Keeping QB Decision To Himself
John Fox just can’t do it. He just can’t quit Jake Delhomme.
The Carolina Panthers head coach wouldn’t reveal whether or not he would bench Delhomme in favor of AJ Feeley or Matt Moore. Fox said he doesn’t know if the “status quo is the answer or not,” despite that status quo being an NFL-high 13 [...]

Meanwhile, Back on the Zamboni…
The way Minnesota’s Cal Clutterbuck scored the game-winning overtime goal against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday encapsulates everything that has plagued the Canes’ first month of season. First off, it was a freakish way to lose. The puck hits the post, bounces off of Clutterbuck’s face, and lands in position to be buried while Cam [...]

Our First Tender Friendly Contest
As you may have heard, the Three Hour Lunch Break is Tender Friendly Radio. We’re considerate like that.
Anyway, given that the ladies are willing to endure much of our foolishness and continue to listen, we figure that our first contest should be with them in mind. If Adam and Joe can have people in studio, [...]

Operation Basketball Surprisingly Interesting
North Carolina and Duke fans are already fired up and the season hasn’t even started. The Heels and Devils were tabbed as co-favorites to win the ACC, although Duke received 5 more first place votes than UNC. That hasn’t sat well with those who root for the lighter shade of blue, who are quick to [...]

ACC Victories: Duke 2, UNC & State 0.
The only team in the Triangle living up to expectations are the Duke Blue Devils. The bar was set rather low for David Cutcliffe in the preseason (remember the over/under 3.5 set by Vegas?), but the Devils actually look like a competent squad on the football field.
The Devils were favored this weekend against Maryland, and [...]
