I told you George Mason is nice…
Yes, I’m following my boy, Scott Cherry, on the bench this weekend. What more can I say? He hit two Final Fours as a player and now he has reached it as an assistant coach. It’s always great to see one of your boys shine.

Don’t make me pinch you today…
I’ll be visiting the 241st St. Patrick’s Day parade at lunchtime. Should be a lot of fun…It’s a shame that McHale’s Tavern has closed…Oh well. There are a thousand other spots to catch a corned beef and cabbage.

This game is always ready for prime-time…
I’ve turned down a couple of solid invites to parties this weekend…People keep asking me why…They just don’t know…They just don’t know….
It’s not even a question. I would never miss a UNC/Duke game…Never.
First off, did anyone see those ESPN polls to measure the Duke/Carolina rivalry…Typical ESPN. Anything before […]
