Ed. Update (02.08.09 @ 9:30pm EST) – the Ebay listing has been removed.  The below screen grab is the only evidence remaining.

We all know that securing tickets to one of the annual Duke-Carolina matchups is a difficult task (particularly in the 9,000 seat Cameron Indoor Stadium), but sensing that change is indeed in the air, North Carolina state senator Eddie Goodall (R-Mecklenberg) has decided to offer his senate seat for a pair of tickets to next Wednesday’s game.  Channelling ousted Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich, Goodall didn’t choose to reach out to Jesse Jackson, Jr.; rather, his [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/02/06/rod-blagojevich-was-on-to-something/feed/ 0 10.05.08 Fast Breaks http://rushthecourt.net/2008/10/05/100508-fast-breaks/ http://rushthecourt.net/2008/10/05/100508-fast-breaks/#respond Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:52:12 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=1340

Folks, we’re only five weeks from the first games… just sayin…

Sixteen months after agreeing to return to Florida after about-facing on the Orlando Magic job, Billy Donovan finally signed his contract.  Fooling with the Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun setup of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament because of gas prices is pure folly – surely the NCAA isn’t that stupid, is it? This is a pretty interesting NY Times article on how YouTube is changing the world of prospect identification and recruiting.  More foolishness involving the Gazelle Group – they’re apparently trying to move UMass to a different subregional in the CvC at the last [...]]]>

George Mason 2006 F4 Rings on Ebay http://rushthecourt.net/2008/10/01/george-mason-2006-f4-rings-on-ebay/ http://rushthecourt.net/2008/10/01/george-mason-2006-f4-rings-on-ebay/#respond Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:39:34 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=1328

Man, we really hope that GMB‘s take on this is true, and this ring belongs to some administrative office schlep that wasn’t really a part of the greatest Cinderella story in a generation.  

So how much would you bid for a claim to history? 

Maybe some enterprising UConn fans could pool their trust funds to buy up all of these and erase all evidence of their epic E8 loss to George Mason from public consciousness. 

Ebay auctions are here and here.

For Carolina basketball fans, the title of this post has significant meaning beyond the city of Motown and its crappy cars.   Some of our younger readers may recall that in 1996 Jeff McInnis was the hotheaded starting point guard for the Tar Heels.  That version of the Heels was decent, with a nascent Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter as freshmen, but the “star” of the show (at least in his mind) was clearly the junior McInnis.

According to rumors flying around the Triangle area that year, McInnis was more than just a star on the basketball court.  You couldn’t go a Harris Teeter in Cary [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2008/08/26/whos-driving-the-ford-now/feed/ 0
