David Cutcliffe Opts for Duke Over Tennessee
When I heard reports on the 11:00 news last night that Duke's head football coach David Cutcliffe was talking to the University of Tennessee about its vacant head coaching position I assumed it was simply a matter of dotting some I's and crossing some T's to lure Cutcliffe away. I was stunned when it was announced this morning that Cutcliffe was staying put.

Random College Basketball Thoughts
Being that I live in the heart of ACC country and the college hoops season is underway I have a few random thoughts rattling around as it pertains to the young season. I have not had a chance to watch too many games but I have seen a few, most of which have been ACC contests involving either Duke or UNC.
