The Quad Countdown: No. 25 North Carolina - (USA)
Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesRunning back Shaun Draughn and his North Carolina teammates believe that a successful season is within reach. Location: Chapel Hill, N.C.Nickname: Tar Heels.2008 Countdown ranking: No. 69. What I said in LAST YEAR’S preview: I predict a two- or three-game improvement over 2007, with the Tar Heels in contention for one of the A.C.C.’s lower-tier bowl bids. A bowl bid in Davis’s second year would be a sign to the Tar Heel faithful that they are in good hands, and would

Weekend Wrap #75: The Masses Have Spoken Edition - (USA)
First things first… apologies for missing this week’s Mid-Week Eye Candy Wrapper. I was sick in the middle of the week and just could not make it happen. The good news is that last week’s Weekend Wrap included a poll asking you your preference as to what you wanted to see more off in the Weekend Wrap-up. I can’t say I was surprised when I saw the results. Apparently you guys enjoy attractive women. So in honor of that and since this country has not gone completely socialist ( at least not yet )

An Orwellian Tale - (USA)
by Joey Whelan In the Florida State basketball media guide sophomore center Solomon Alabi lists George Orwell’s classic novel 1984 as his favorite book. Never much of an avid reader, the book was assigned summer reading for the 7-footer, leading up to his senior year at Montverde Academy in Florida. The book tells of a futuristic world where a governing body known as Big Brother looms over and controls nearly every semblance of respectable society. After a freshman season in which Alabi lo

No Shirt - (USA)
No shirt, got shorts on at my computer. I've moved into a small walk up apartment in Randolph and now have a make shift office. It is actually the first time I have ever had my own highspeed, I used to blog a lot on the phone wire, so having high speed is great. I still could load up movie files to blogspirit but would take few minutes. My shower is on, I really like being able to see all sports on TV. I saw a really good University of Vermont hockey team play last night. I also saw a great loo

Boss Hog Bowl or Boss Hawg Bowl (Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington) - (USA)
Cowboys Stadium (home of football’s Dallas Cowboys) opened in Arlington, Texas, in 2009. Sports journalist and radio personality Randy Galloway called the proposed stadium “Boss Hawg Bowl” (or “Boss Hog Bowl") by at least 2001. The reference is to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, an Arkansas native who played football at the University of Arkansas. Arkansas (the state and the university) is symbolized by the “razorback,” or “hog.” Other nicknames for the new Cowboys Stadium have been “Je

Vernon Davis Continues To Piss Off The World - (USA)
The 2006 NFL Draft, like every professional sports draft, had its share of flops. Names like Vince Young (No. 3), Michael Huff (No. 7), Matt Leinart (No. 10), Tye Hill (No. 15) and Bobby Carpenter (No. 18) come to mind. But none perhaps is a bigger bust than San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis, who was taken sixth overall. Viewed as a physical marvel and can’t miss prospect, Davis oozes athleticism. At the 2006 Scouting Combine, he ran a 4.38 40-yard dash, a time faster than most wide r

NCR, November 26, 2008 In thanksgiving for Ted Kennedy's legacy of faith-filled service By Douglas W. Kmiec The great presidential contest is concluded. The words and expectations of promise and hope sit well upon a Republic troubled by war and financial ruin. Much ink has already run explaining the outcome, but oddly, most if not all have overlooked a game-changing endorsement – that of Ted Kennedy in January 2008. Just a short time later, Kennedy would be diagnosed with brain cancer, which
