two games, two dominations...

... but dominations can come in completely different ways.

In our second game of the season, we torched UNC-Wilmington 120 - 88, falling three points shy of the school scoring record. It was box score heaven, with Teague (my official Favorite Player on this squad), JJ, Chazzz, and boy wonder Aminu all putting up great lines.

Our third game was against Winston-Salem State, who we also tracuhed by doubling their points total. But it was 62-31. Where'd all the offense go? Where'd this D come from? Who cares when we freaking lapped those cross-town fools? But I'm not exactly going to throw a parade when we have all of one player reach double figures against a cup-cake opponent.

In re: our football program. Yikes. We could have pulled it out in the last minute against BC, but the fact is we didn't deserve to win. Our offense just can't put together a decent drive. A sad, pathetic showing. How are we suppose to reach our conference championship game when we're entirely reliant on our defense for points?

Re: Basketball - It's good to know Wake can play it fast or slow. Perhaps this is an indication of things to come...

Re: Football - A relatively disappointing season given that the ACC is very average. With a little more here and there, we'd be clear conference champs.

Re: Applying legal jargon to non-legal publications - Vis-a-vis the rule against perpituities, habeas corpus fails to state a claim for relief v. estoppel. Consequently, injunctions and treble damages are forbidden under the appropriate balancing test.

Enjoy your turkey.
