Looks like he would make a great tight end.
John Castleberry, an old classmate. Class of '78 I believe. See http://castleberry.tv/JohnsBio.html
His brother Tod played on my old softball team and was a producer for the Redskins broadcasts for years...may still be.
It's power ranking.
He's ascendant.

This was actually brought up amongst donors a few times. Last I heard, the only thing keeping the Hockey Team from being "Varsity", is the lack of an actual facility for Hockey on campus. This is something that the new AD can help with. They would need to figure out a location to build it, and the costs and such to build it. They haven't allotted a budget for it from the general athletic fund, but you CAN donate and specify the money toward the Hockey Team.
Last time I heard in 2011, they had a couple hundred thousand dollars set aside from donors specifically requesting their donation be put toward a hockey facility.
He expected Russia to win that game. Not just win the game, but beat down the United States.
I call a full on bull about Cameron.
Yes, it has an old looking scoreboard (which has undergone massive renovations, by the way, to install 4 HD video boards as well as updated lighting) but the rest of the place is a palace. Yes, the concourses on the ends, specifically the end opposite the main entrance, is small, but they compensate for that by completely opening it up on the sides with expanded what practically amounts to a Duke Basketball museum. There is an expanded Hall of Fame on one side and a museum on the other, and both are made to look pristine. Inside the venue... Sure, its cramped, but you can tell they have absolutely poured money into the place. The brass railings are refinished every season, and polished before every game. The woodwork around the court is a great touch. Everywhere you go int the concourse you are reminded by Duke basketball history. Rarely do you see an empty wall, with there being numerous cutouts of displays with various memorabilia of their past. All around, its might be a smallish venue (with a capacity of 9.3k... less than 1k less than Cassell), but Duke has done the little things to perfection to make it a college basketball palace.
If you want a comparison, the Smith Center is actually a bit of a dump. For a school with a rich tradition in basketball such as UNC, I was kind of surprised just how run down the building feels when you go inside. With that said, they still pack in 20k per game, so that alone puts it over the top of Cassell. Reynolds might be a better comparison (even with it being larger) but NC State doesn't use it for men's games anymore. You are right that the PNC Arena is only there because of the Canes (and the updates are only because of the NHL as well) but I am still not willing to compare Cassell to NC State, because the closest competition venue-wise isn't even their main showcase arena anymore.
He essentially said that the Russian team should have beaten the USA team easily, but that they were underperforming. Don't blame an overturned goal, blame your poor playing.
I think our team played very worthily. It seemed to me they were a class higher a little bit higher.
The UNC game in 2011 was the best intro ESPN has ever done for us. Fun fact - my roommate shot the opening footage of the lights in Lane. Pretty cool that ESPN borrowed it.
I like to refer to this duo as Ricky Sobczak. That really has a great ring to it.
Thanks....again, I said I didn't agree with the articles, was just throwing it out there for debate.
Having grown up on tobacco road the big difference is not facility its tradition... cameron, reynolds, and carmichael are no different than cassell in construction. The dean dome was the first upgrade and that was on the heels of a hall of fame coach and an incredibly successful team. RBC center only made it becuase of the Carolina Hurricanes coming to town otherwise they would still be getting funding together. And the purity of Cameron remains in its little to no AC or BAFs, old scoreboard, and musty glory. Also Cassell upon joining the ACC became a very hot ticket in bburg and I witnessed basketball on par with what I grew up with. Lets make the renovations to keep the ammenities modern for the players and refurbish systems for better audio/visual experience but I for one don't want some huge stadium that never captures the essence of college basketball in the acc was and forever should be.

That's what I thought, not sure why people were worried about it being spoiled hours before the game...
It's OK I just upvoted it and it went away. PHEW!
Upvote the shit outta this^^^
I haven't seen the exact schedule yet, but it will either be 7:30AM or noon
FUCK I ACCIDENTLY DOWNVOTED THIS HOW TO I UNDO IT?!?!?!?!
What did Putin say after the loss to the US??
US Women vs Canada for Gold at noon ET today
US Men vs Canada in Semis at noon ET Friday
I completely disagree with anything implying that Wiles isn't a great coach, but I gotta give a turkey leg for that first sentence. Hilarious.
I'd be very surprised if Wiles doesn't have them both just listed as "Freshman." They'll have pretty much an equal chance, in terms of reps received, to impress him in the first few days of camp and then the pecking order is established. If anything, the kids who stand out to Bud/Wiles on tape/at camps will get first shot and that may or may not be the higher-rated guy.
Duke of last year ranks up there as well. We manhandled on defense all game and the offense kept turning over the ball.
WARNING: Stupid question ahead.
I've seen multiple people on Twitter talking about going internet silent so that tomorrow's game isn't spoiled.
What time is the game ACTUALLY being played?
Was that the one where the Syracuse QB said something to the effect of "I don't like playing there, the fans think they're part of the team"?
