LeBron Ineligible

LeBron not going to college. Good. by Jed Tai So, LeBron James has finally been declared ineligible. To this college basketball writer… Who cares? Despite the fact that nothing was set in stone, there was no way LeBron James was going to play college basketball. He could have named off […]

Northeast Notebook

Northeast Conference Notebook by Chris Roddy Central Connecticut: Turning the Beat Around After selecting the Blue Devils to finish first in my NEC pre-season ballot and watching them perform poorly (losing six of seven), I was fearful my career as an oracle was a no go. But, CCSU has rebounded […]

Colonial Notebook

Colonial Notebook by Adam Shandler It’s A Jumble Out There Those who follow the CAA probably thought that this season would be a carbon copy of last year. UNC-Wilmington would simply recline in the warehouse balcony, watching the other teams scratch it out in the cockfight that is known as […]

Impotent Dick Vitale

Impotent Dick Vitale by Michael Ermitage Dick Vitale considers himself the luckiest man alive. Hugh Hefner may have something to say about that. Although some would say that there is no bigger boob than Dick Vitale. The hyperactive Vitale has been screaming into your living room since ESPN launched in […]
