"You are quite possibly the worst Wake Forest fan I've ever seen."

A few random thoughts:

Gregg Doyel publishes his hate mail on the Krzyzewski column. I have mixed feelings on the topic that's currently absorbing the blogosphere. On the one hand, it's true that better teams foul less. On the other, some very bright people have pointed out the bizarre discrepancy in foul margin recent Duke teams have had.

The main thing to remember though, is that both blaming the refs and working the refs are small, petty things to do, and Krzyzewski has been one of the most flagrant practicers of the latter. The program should strive to be better than that, but they are Duke, after all.

You can win a gold medal in speed skating and still not be the most famous member of the Dudley High School class of 1997. Funny, that.

Hector's is closing. This time is temporary as well, and at least isn't fire related. Why do I think the East End Oyster & Martini Bar will soon join Caffe Trio in the Big Book[1] of Overly Pretentious and Now Closed Franklin Street Establishments?

(I was a charter member of Hector's Down Under for it's entire mayfly existence, so it's pretty obvious where my loyalties lie.)

John Feinstein introduces me to a scary thought: Maryland fans have crazier coaching expectations than N.C. State fans.

And in the insult to injury department, Sports Illustrated 10 Years of Major Sleepers passes over 2000's 8th seed North Caroilina for 8th seed Wisconsin and includes that damn Arizona team from 1997. Just in case you're looking for something to be bitter about.
