    Smart scheduling in the NET era

    First off: The #1, #2, #3 way to get into the NCAA tournament is to WIN GAMES. Everybody (hopefully) gets that. The point of this is not to make excuses, but to recognize reality.

    Selling a used car

    I have very little experience buying/selling used cars - my life experience has been to buy new cars and drive them forever. Right now, with my son graduating college, we are potentially selling a used car with a decent Kelley Blue Book value (KBB says it's worth $11k), and helping him purchase...

    The worst 10-year stretch in modern ACC history

    Another thread got me wondering how WF basketball's recent run of regular season conference play compares to the worst in the history of the conference. Since the season that ended in 1974, two programs have managed to have a 10-year conference winning percentage of lower than .300: BC through...

    We’re going to slow the game down now, right?
