Re: In Game: vs. La Salle

Maybe we should hire Gerdy as a shooting coach. I do not remember him missing much and I think his era was pre 3 point shot. Yes, the Gerd played before the three-point era. If he'd had the benefit of the three-point line, he would still be the all-time leading scorer. Most of his shots were from '...

Re: In Game: vs. La Salle

Pitiful crowd tonight. After the game, I told one of the ushers that when I was a student, we showed up in big numbers and packed Johnston Gym every home game, even though the team put up terrible records every year I was there (1974-1978). Next season, I am giving up my season tickets and will do l...

In Game: vs. La Salle

Humorous stories from the bench, continued: Each summer, I always made it a point to "hire" law students to serve as clerks. I say "hire" in quotes because the state's judicial system had no money to pay them; they received their remuneration from the experience of getting to peek behind the curtain...

Colt 45 Award: vs. La Salle

This Tuesday, 7:00 in Belk, carried on ESPN+.

I hope someone on our bench will do to them what usually happened to Explorers back in the day: plague and pestilence, with lots of slings and arrows mixed in.

Re: Colt 45 Award: vs. George Mason

Hunter Adam wins this round. He's suddenly moving into contention for the lead, tied with Sean Logan. Durkin still holds the overall lead, but it is rapidly shrinking.

In Game: vs. George Mason

Continuing with my theme of funny stories that happened in court: This story didn't happen to me but was told to me by the late Charles Lamm, who resided near Mooresville on Lake Norman. He was an oldtimer who held court all over North Carolina. This story came from either Richmond or Ansom County, ...

Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in Belk. C'mon bench! Two fosties available in the fridge, in addition to the one reserved for this game. Plenty of opportunities for two outstanding bench performances.

In Game: at Duquesne

Funny stories from the bench, continued: Attorneys are low-hanging fruit for the jurist who wants to write about humorous events in the courtroom. Most stories are laughable because the lawyer's performance is so dreadful. This ultimately turns out to be tinged with sadness and pity for the hapless ...
