Re: Getting the spins

I've had Spotify Family for several years now. Share it with my boys (and technically my wife, but she doesn't use it). Never really shopped around. I mostly like Spotify.

Re: Lefty Driesell

That Defector piece was good. Hard to believe a coach who had 30 players drafted by the NBA never advanced a team past the sweet 16. Yeah, that definitely affected his national reputation and lasting impact. In fairness, some of his best teams played in the days of only one bid and he was in the AC...

Re: Lefty Driesell

One of the all-time great characters in college basketball. Hell, in American sports overall. While he didn't always run the most ethical of programs (e.g. Herman Veal and the Bias fallout), he was a very good coach and he brought an excitement and humor that the ACC has lacked since he left.
