Here is his justification for leaving Duke out:

One more week without Duke: More than two months after the Champions Classic, the Blue Devils finally play their first true road games this week, two of them, even — at Wake Forest on Tuesday and then at Florida State this weekend. Think about that for a second: Two months, no road games. If you're considering tweeting at me or emailing me about Duke being left off my ballot again, all I ask is that you also attach a copy of your email or letter to coach Mike Krzyzewski that explains your outrage over his scheduling practices. Because if you think what I'm doing out of principle is absurd, it's not in the same realm as going half the season without stepping foot on another team's campus. That we allow this in college hoops and don't blink is ridiculous.

Reading further down, it looks like in his rankings, teams who have not played a true road game are not yet eligible to be ranked.

I can't think of any other program that has improved that much, that quickly.

| 7 years 6 months # | Have we reached peak football?

I didn't read the article, just saw the headline about nobody wanting to watch the game...you're right about ticket sales.

I personally, don't give a rats ass about monday nights game, it can be one for the ages, and I won't be tuning in.

| 7 years 6 months # | A Modest Proposal (for leveling the playing field)

Okay, so say this was already implemented...for this recruiting class, Bama has three 5 stars, twenty two 4 stars, 1 3 star. Last place Arkansas has zero 5 stars, eight 4 stars, nineteen 3 stars. How does adding 3 more 3 stars to Arkansas' roster even the playing field against Bama?

I know stars aren't everything, but they are something

| 7 years 6 months # | OT: Best Pranks You Pulled Off

Me and my roommate had a little bit of a prank war going with two of our other friends, back in the early 2000s...the war ended in a glorious victory for us after we accepted the unconditional surrender after the final prank.

We took a couple of pictures that we had of our friends, and made a flier using their pictures, the flier was more of a help wanted ad, recruiting an all male cast for an adult movie. The flyer was complete with our friends phone numbers for interested parties to get in touch with them. We had maybe 100 of these flyers printed off and posted them all over Blacksburg, at bus stops, all around campus, etc....

I will say, there was some interest from potential cast members, lol

| 7 years 6 months # | Landers Nolley's eligibility issue explained

what I mean is, if I understand the NCAA correctly (and I could be way off), they are involved in eligibility of student athletes once on campus (maintaining certain GPA, etc.), they are not involved in admission to the school itself. The ACT is for admissions, nothing to do with GPA or eligibility, thus the NCAA has no business saying he needed to retake the test in the first place

But by all accounts, aside from NCAA, he should be eligible, it's just the NCAA's inappropriate fuckery that is making him miss the season

In the 20 some odd years that I lived in Chesapeake I never once heard anyone refer to them as Vah Beach Blvd or Vah Beach

To clarify, during this whole ridiculous ordeal, has Nolley been able to practice with the team, just not play in the games? Or has he not been able to do either?
