What To Watch This Weekend: Daytona 500, The Super Bowl Of Motor Sports
The Daytona 500 Sun at 1pm: It’s still The Super Bowi of Motorsports. With a brand new car I’m very curious to see how aggressive the racing is. There was an early wreck in the first testing session last month, an early wreck in practice last week, and an early wreck in the Unlimited race last weekend. No matter how aggressive they are, you would certainly expect the racing to be four wide anc crazy once there’s ten laps to go.

Taylor’s Tuesday Tidbits and Top 25
Roy Williams likes to say “I’ve forgotten more basketball in my little pinky finger than you know in your entire body.” And he’s absoloutely right. Nobody plays armchair point guard more than Tar Heel fans [...]
Taylor’s Tuesday Tidbits and Top 25
NC State’s loss at Maryland, and close call against Clemson were so predictable. At some point Mark Gottfried’s teams must stop playing to the level of its competition if they truly want to become elite. Thus, tonight at Wake Forest should be an easy victory. And beating an average North Carolina squad on Saturday shouldn’t be a problem, either.

Taylor’s Tuesday Picks, Bowl Projections, and the Coaching Carousel
I thought that was Cam Newton’s most complete performance as a professional Quarterback. He played within himself, made smart decisions when running, and throwed underneath when there was nothing down the field. We have [...]
