Wearing my Michigan football polo shirt today. They played a great game yesterday. The score doesn’t reflect how much they dominated the game because of a few turnovers at the goal line.
Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich
May 23, 2007 – 5:43 pm
“Pistol” Pete Maravich was the greatest college basketball player to ever play the game. The “Pistol” was a guard and he averaged over 40 points a game throughout college before there was ever a 3 point line. He had a great shot and actually made a lot of shots which would have easily been worth [...]
Former Duke Players Recognized As Good Sports
May 3, 2007 – 12:05 pm
Luol Deng, who played a year of college basketball for Duke University, was awarded the NBA sportsmanship award. Of the 5 other divisional winners for the award, Shane Battier and Elton Brand also played for Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils. Three out of six isn’t too bad!
Michigan Basketball Will Rise
April 4, 2007 – 3:57 pm
With John Beilein coming to coach the University of Michigan, maybe we can get excited about something other than football again. He did a great job at West Virginia.
Ohio State Jokes
November 17, 2006 – 12:51 pm
Tomorrow at 3:30pm is one of the most anticipated college football games in history. The Michigan Wolverines travel to Columbus, OH to square off against the Ohio State Buckeyes. As a Michigan fan, I love some of the following jokes. Enjoy!
A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, [...]
Keith Jackson Retires
April 27, 2006 – 9:56 am
Keith Jackson is calling it quits at the age of 77. College football will miss him.
Marching On
March 15, 2006 – 2:04 pm
I love the month of March for two reasons. March Madness and the coming of warmer Michigan weather.
The month of March is heaven for college basketball fans and NCAA bball just happens to be my favorite sport to watch. The teamwork, intensity, atmosphere, and everything about the game draws me in. I’ve already been tuned [...]
ESPNU Full Circle: UNC vs. Duke

See Saturday’s UNC vs. Duke game from all angles brought to you by ESPN.
Ranked at the Top
October 28, 2005 – 8:12 am
The Blue Devils are ranked #1 in the preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll. Go Duke!
Magical Madness
April 5, 2005 – 10:36 am
Last night #2 North Carolina beat top ranked Illinois 75-70 in the NCAA Championship game. UNC led by 13 at half and was up by as much as 15 in the 2nd half, but Illinois fought back to make for an exciting finish to the best March Madness in history.
Words can’t even describe how special [...]
Blue March
March 13, 2005 – 7:28 pm
My favorite college basketball team, the Duke Blue Devils, won the ACC tournament today for the 6th time in the last 7 years (lost the title game in OT last year). What’s remarkable about the win is that they didn’t make a field goal for the final 11 minutes of the game, until Sheldon Williams [...]
Hail To The Victors
October 31, 2004 – 11:09 am
The Michigan Wolverines hosted the Michigan State Spartans yesterday in the state’s greatest football rivalry. It was the greatest Michigan games I’ve ever watched. The team with the greatest fight song and most recognizable helmets in football came out on top 45-37 in a thrilling 3 OT game.
NCAA Basketball Top 25
October 18, 2004 – 1:54 pm
ESPN.com has 4 ACC teams ranked in their preseason top 10 and Duke in the next group at #14. Think the ACC doesn’t dominate college basketball? Think again.
I was disappointed when Luol Deng went pro and one of the top high school players in the country decided to pass up Duke for the NBA, but [...]
The End Of March Madness
April 6, 2004 – 12:04 pm
March Madness came to an end last night with the University of Connecticut winning the championship over Georgia Tech. It wasn’t much of a game as UConn led the whole way and the 82-73 final score only looks somewhat close because GT hit about a million three pointers in the final minute. Not to discredit [...]
I Love Spring
March 30, 2004 – 3:22 pm
Is there any better time of the year than spring? Not for me.
The sun comes out from hiding, the snow melts, the grass changes from brown to green, and you can feel the air getting warmer as each day passes. Spring also has that distinct smell that can’t compete with any other season. Everyone seems [...]
March MADNESS
March 21, 2004 – 9:42 pm
It has been one hell of an NCAA Tournament so far, and it’s only the first weekend! We’ve seen two number 1 seeds fall, Stanford (ESPN’s pick to win it all) and Kentucky (Dick Vitale’s pick to win it all). Duke (my pick) is one of the few teams to dominate both of their games.
I [...]
TV At Work
March 18, 2004 – 1:41 pm
Nothing beats having a TV at work during March Madness. I get to check stats and updates on the Internet and watch the games live. The only thing better would be working for ESPN and getting to watch multiple games on multiple TVs at once! Can you tell I love this time of year?
