Oldie

Forgot to post this earlier...and UNC did end up getting blown out...

but here's a brief overview of UNC women's basketball before its game against UConn.

Miami/UNC 1-17

Here's my story from the Miami game...I might have gone overboard in some places (let me know if I did...), but I think it's a good read.

Apologies

These posts are getting shorter, more infrequent and worse. I can't promise anything profound (...yet), but I can promise I'll keep posting the stuff I write for wralsportsfan.com on here.

Here's the latest - it's my take on Roy Williams' press conference this afternoon.

Tomorrow I'll be reporting from the Miami game and doing a story on it - ESPN Gameday's going to be there, and I'm hoping to network with Dick Vitale or Andy Katz...but mostly I'm just trying to write an interesting article. Being in the press room before and after a game is exciting as hell, so I'll try to let you know what's it's like.

Detroit takes another hit

Because it has a terrible bowl game on tap tonight. There's no way they sold as many tickets as they had planned with two teams with as small of fan bases as Central Michigan and Florida Atlantic.

As for the game, Central Michigan will roll against Florida Atlantic...it shouldn't be close. CMU 42, F(A)U 17

ND/Hawaii

I don't see why so many people think Hawaii is going to win tonight's game...how quickly people forget last year's thrashing of the Warriors by the Georgia Bulldogs. Notre Dame's had trouble winning against good teams, but, fortunately for the Irish, Hawaii doesn't fall into that group.
