I’d guess that UNC already has an all-clear from SACSCOC, or otherwise is relatively comfortable that it won’t face retribution from the accrediting board.

Cauliflower — and Brussels sprouts, I might add — are great on the grill. Olive oil, S&P, and into a grill pan. Don’t have to worry about flipping each piece of veg, just toss it around like you would in a saute pan. Girl & the Goat in Chicago does an amazing roasted cauliflower with pickled peppers, pine nuts, and…

So who will be this year’s Central Florida? I’m torn between Purdue and Charlotte. Both would be painful to write about and both are equally inept.

You might want to try a splash of milk instead of water. Adds body rather than just dilutes the flavor. And yeah, s&p either when you scramble the eggs in a bowl, or immediately upon adding to the pan (I haven’t noticed a difference between the two options). Like anything else culinary, it’s (virtually) always better…

I knew exactly what joke you were trying to make, it’s just that it wasn’t funny because it didn’t work. Close but no cigar.

Short answer: They didn’t care if Silver was bluffing. As others have noted, the state gov’t is run largely by politicians outside of Charlotte, and Raleigh resents Charlotte’s growth and development. So the threat was meaningless to them, much like the boycotts by Springsteen and others.

You know that’s total BS, right?! HB2 does nothing to prevent pedophiles from entering bathrooms of the opposite sex (after all, it doesn’t pay for armed guards at bathroom doors checking genitalia). And if pedophilia were the real concern, what about all the same-sex pedophiles? Their child victims are still sitting…

And with the former Charlotte Mayor in the Governor’s chair, no less. He has stood by or helped the government in Raleigh (which, to be honest, is largely Republican and largely non-Charlotte) repeatedly screw over his old city (where he still has a home) ever since being elected. And for that, I’m glad he’ll likely…

Um, you did miss something. Earlier today, some website posted that WNBA players are being fined for wearing black warmup gear protesting the recent gun violence.

The NHL Hurricanes are in Raleigh, not Charlotte.

NCAA won’t step in, a lesson they learned from Penn State. As despicable as what happened in Waco is, it’s outside the scope of the NCAA. It’s a matter for the Feds (Title IX investigation) and local law enforcement (ha ha ha).

I don’t disagree that there is an element of self-fulfilling prophecy to it. But even in eras where 3rd-party candidates were not as marginalized as they are today, the best any has done is finish second in the POTUS race — and that was by a former two-term president (Teddy Roosevelt, 1912).

I agree that changes to the two-party system are long overdue and desperately needed. But I am not sure that change is possible, tbh. Since 1832, there have been 13 3rd-party/independent presidential candidates who have won >5% of the popular vote. Since WWII, there have been four. Where are those parties now? Like it…

That would be a trolling so epic even I would probably have to give him a golf clap — and then cry because that probably means a President Gingrich.

But are there, really?! There’s no way anyone not named Clinton or Drumpf will be occupying the Oval Office next January (unless Drumpf wins the election and then walks away, as rumored last week), so while additional names appear on the ballot, they’re irrelevant to the decision at hand.

In the United States, in 2016, voting for a 3rd-party candidate is akin to not voting at all — the main difference being you get the little lapel sticker. It may be your way to “send a message” (see how well that worked for the Brexiters who had next-day voter’s remorse) or stay true to your own beliefs, but it will…

He’s an absentee father, he doesn’t like to discipline his kids. He leaves that to the kid’s mother (i.e., university president) to handle. He’s all about giving his kids new toys and ice cream sundaes.

I actually didn’t frame any debate — I merely corrected the misstatements in the article. But you do you.

The NCAA rule book didn’t (and to my knowledge, doesn’t) have a rule about coaches sexually assaulting minors. That’s not really the NCAA’s purview. I’m sure that’s why the NCAA all but rescinded the penalties imposed on PSU and has not taken action at Baylor — it (hopefully) has learned its lesson. (To be clear: I’m…

Co-Defensive Coordinator, actually. But that’s more accurate than what Tom originally wrote.
