NC State early frontrunners appear to be McNeese State's Will Wade and Tennessee's associate head coach in former beloved Wolfpack guard Justin Gainey.

I just don't buy these names. Gainey has never been a Head whistle and while Wade is a winner, he did real well at VCU, was ok at LSU and has done wonders for McNeese State but received a 10-game suspension and a two-year show-cause order from the NCAA's Independent Accountability Resolution Panel for multiple rules violations related to LSU's recruiting violations. So he cheated and still didn't deliver the goods at LSU.

One hell of a writer and very opinionated, which I liked. He was great on the radio. The Junkies did a great job discussing his career.

Joe: Been here for going on 14 years, lots of changes, but appreciate your commitment to providing the best fan website for any team that I've seen anywhere. Here's to another 15 more years!

I recently took a pole and found out that 100% of the people in the tent were angry when it collapsed.

I had been a long time lurker but had never joined. Ended up joining when I saw Paige was in the Iditarod and thought I had to post something.

Quick follow-up on the Nic Petit situation. Just asked in the livestream chat and several people responded that Nic did pull out, but then returned to drop a dog. Also had problems with his sled runners and was working or them or changing them. In order to not confuse the dogs with coming and going, he decided to rest them a bit longer. Why the leader board has him in 11th as he did pull out of White Mountain in 11th, but GPS has him 16th and resting back at White Mountain.

Saturday March 15 at ~12:30 PM east coast, and we have more teams finishing up or taking their 8-hour layover at White Mountain. Top 10 is:

1. Jessie Holmes into Nome
2. Matt Hall into Nome
3. Paige Drobny into Nome
4. Michelle Phillips into Nome
5. Bailey Vitello into Nome
6. Travis Beals into Nome
7. Mitch Seavey into Nome
8. Ryan Redington into Nome
9. Riley Dyche running 10 dogs, 1,095 miles in/33 to Nome
10. Millie Porsild resting on the trail with 7 dogs 1,083 miles in/45 to Nome

Looking at the race for rookie of the year:

Samantha LaLonde just pulled into White Mountain with 10 dogs. The GPS has her listed in 15th ahead of Nic Petit, but the leaderboard has her listed in 16th with Nic having pulled out of White Mountain. Not sure what is up. Maybe Nic left and came back to the checkpoint. Anyway, she is resting there on her 8 hours, 1,057 miles in/71 to Nome. She will be eligible to leave ~8:15 PM east coast time.

Emily Ford is the next rookie, currently in 17th place running 12 dogs 1,042 miles in/86 to Nome. Samantha's team has been doing better since Kaltag1 and I'd guess Emily does not have much of a chance of catching her unless something bad happens.

Jenny Roddewig continues to hold the red lantern position, running 10 dogs on the sea ice, 924 miles in/204 to Nome.

If weather cooperates, almost everyone will finish on Sunday. 1 or a handful may come in Monday morning east coast time.

12 years almost to the day with an account. I know I definitely read and lurked in 2012 after the Danny Coale catch and might've followed during that 2011 season in my dorm room.
