    Dennis used to work in Roanoke. Very good dude, at least a zillion years ago. Don't think I've seen him since he went to New Mexico. But, uh, wow.

    Is it possible he was planning to leave at season's end anyway and this was just his clever way of saying it?

    Well, clever as he would define it, anyway.

    I don't know. Just a thought. I can't even comprehend that he would have actually thrown in the towel on 30-plus years over this.

    If he thought that New Mexico team was the real deal, it's probably time to retire. They looked like crap.

    Hitching one's star to Steve Alford is no way to get through life, son.

    Anyone have a stream for the UNC/Villanova game?

    I tried NCAA.com but they down stream in Canada.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
