stealth ...

have since confirmed it. they are a married couple.

You guys may have covered it, but I am hearing crazy things. Mike Dement and Rhonda Rompola are now husband and wife. This ain't a joke. Interesting (and intense) couple.

never have liked a public flogging of players ... you can communicate this same message in practice and the locker room ... but that's doh's track record ...

Having worked in university development at diferent places, almost always a university sells any stock it receives immediately. The donor gets credit for the revenue from that transaction (average of the high and low that day). No university that I know of keeps a gifted stock since they have to ...

If you need a BBQ recommendation in GNC, try Parker's. I know Texans prefer the beef variety (and it's da#n good), but you gotta be ready for pork here. As an NC native and SMU fan (currently back in NC), I wrestle with the BBQ dilemma constantly.

If you're coming, fly direct to RDU ... and take ...

ftt ... no tears ... just remember that everyone is expendable, including the fan that might not be pulling his or her weight ... this university is made up of hard-working people and not all of them were bad apples ... enjoy your big leagues and the fact you may know no one when they take the field.

Where does one find the picture of the day?

The Bucks don't have a summer league team ... so Noel is "farmed out" to the Mavs.

just playing, of course, dbb ... cant resist a shot at the school 8 miles down the road ... part of being good rivals!

anyone with the name "duke blue blood" is immediately suspect in my book ... nothing good comes out of derm, nc

Secules? Jones? Montgomery? Others?

It has been interesting to see what people want in an AD ... the qualities, the pedigree, the media savvy, etc.

I would like to pose a question. Without going into realtive summaries like "a hustling guy who will win over DFW" or "a Russ Potts-like gy that'll bring back Mustang Mania," who ...
