What happened to Stamus?

 

As a UGA grad and life-long Bulldog fan, may I say good luck to Buchan in dealing with a seventh consecutive loss to Georgia by the Jackets.

 

Nothing but good things to say about Dean and Wake's cooperation as a whole. Willing to give great access, and so many of the players (recently Eric Williams, Justin Gray, Ish Smith, to name a few) are great guys to interview. Two years ago Trent Strickland missed a reverse dunk on a fastbreak as Wake was making a run against Duke. After the miss, Redick makes a 3, and Duke goes on a 14-2 run.

Strickland comes in, answers questions politely and even says of his miss, ""I think that had the biggest effect on the game tonight. To be honest, I don't know what happened. I wish I could tell you what happened. I guess Air Strickland left the gym tonight, and he was in bed, I guess."

Even after bad losses, Wake's guys have been friendly, cooperative and even funny. They're often great after a big win. Because it's so consistent across the board, have to give some props to Dean.

 

Dean is a great man, I hear.

 

Dean is a very good guy. Congrats to him.

 

Maybe he can get me off that Sting mailing list.

 

If Allison George left, I say congratulations to anyone who ever has to deal with Tech. Woman made the most routine question seem like she was asked to knock out her own teeth with a sledgehammer.

 

I get those, too. Must be a football or basketball writers assoc. thing.
