Covering NCAA football and basketball with insight and irreverence. Unlike some blowhard columnists and/or sports talk hosts, I'll give you ideas to consider and form your own opinions about rather than tell you how to think. This blog also features "Good News In College Sports," the stories that don't get the headlines but should. I belong to the FWAA (Football Writers Association of America) and the USBWA (United States Basketball Writers Association).
In my first column for Duke Basketball Report after a three-season absence, I share my views on the state of ACC hoops. There are familiar names at the top and a lot of solid programs lurking back in the pack.

I am a lifelong sports fan, and as a University of Maryland alum one of the highlights of my life was watching the Terps winning the 2002 NCAA basketball championship and being able to share it with my late wife and best friend. I've been writing about sports since 1998. In that time, I've learned how to step back and take a "big picture" look at the games and the people who play them. There are a nearly infinite number of stories to tell, both on and off the field, and I will try to tell them with an awareness of how important these teams, players, and coaches are to a lot of people while still having fun in the process.

First time I've ever read any of your stuff on DBR, so I thought I'd check out your website. I was really surprised to read you're a Maryland alum... very few people without Duke blue running through their veins (like myself, class of '04 who fell in love with the Devils when Christian Laettner beat Kentucky with that oh-so-sweet shot) are able to say nice things about the school. So thank you for putting biases aside to write two very accurate articles!
