Pardon me people

But we had a little excursion up north this weekend...flew up to be with my son and his gurl...teeth cleaning and x-rays...OK, it was a check up...had an awesome meal at a new place in old town...then hit Napa Valley...joined a wine club and had a beut of a time...70* and a perfect 10...hit 5 spots and agreed that the most bang for our bucks was at Markham...ordered 2 six packs, and we split the last "04 merlot they had in their winery!  I can't tell you how many people we're in the area...thousands...
So what was going on while I was away?
The DUIx fired their hoops coach after 13 years...Ernie Kent has had so many personal brushes with the U that I think they were just waiting for a down year to remove him...new coach for a new arena...
USD voicing reservations about their coach...former Gonzaga asst. Bill Grier...it's all about now...and he has to come up with a great recruiting class...and that's what it's all about in D-1 hoops...great guy who deserves a good one...
SDS quest for the big dance...continued talk about being on the bubble...needs a big weekend and that's the way it should be...
What has happened to North Carolina?
