Tyler Hansbrough made his decision public this afternoon. While teammates Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington decided to throw their names into the NBA Draft – each with the caveat that they would not hire an agent – Hansbrough opted against the guaranteed paycheck of the Association and is returning to Carolina for his senior season.
Memoirs of a Former NBA Fan

I’m not an NBA fan. I really haven’t been much of one since my days of working at the bowling alley seven years ago where I watched everything that was on TV because that’s what we did there. And I haven’t been a regular follower of the league since Jordan bowed out in ‘98. (The second comeback NEVER happened.) The last game I watched beginning to end was the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinal with the huge Iverson/Carter showdown, when Vince graduated from Carolina in the morning and made it to Philly by gametime, only to miss the game winning jumper at the horn. I’ve kept up with the league in passing since, but I haven’t bothered wasting too much time with it since. That being said…
Well, the pain is gone…

It’s been about a month since I’ve updated the blog, about two weeks since we’ve heard from Mike. Honestly, it’s been a rough couple of weeks, as a sport fans, and as a person. So, let’s hit on EVERYTHING that I missed.
Belated NCAA Title Game Thoughts

- “Rock, Chalk, Championship.” Seriously, does Nantz lie awake at night and think of these corny sayings and actually believe they’re cool? In Nantz’s defense, he can get away with mailing in the title game because wouldn’t you do the same if you had been working with Packer for the previous three weeks? There’s also some golf tournament this weekend that Jim can focus on.
The Worst Weekend Ever

15-3-2. That’s what we did from February 12 thru March 28. We were 7 points up with 7 games to play. And what happens? Drop 3 of 4 to close out the season, with the coup de grace AT HOME to a team that hadn’t won in Raleigh since 2002 in a game THAT WAS A MUST WIN!!

The Carolina Hurricanes went 9-2-1 in the month of March. The Carolina Hurricanes outscored their opponents 43-26 in the month of March. The Carolina Hurricanes have put together their best stretch of hockey since the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Yet, on Tuesday night, in Washington, they lost sole possession of the Southeast Division lead, which they had held for practically the entire season.
