The Conference Headlines:
Wizards' Jamison Makes 12-Man Roster- Battier makes final cut over Bowman. Home cooking in more ways than one. Check out the roster
1. Nuggets F Carmelo Anthony, Age: 22. 2. (ACC) Rockets F Shane Battier, Age: 27. 3. (ACC) Raptors F Chris Bosh, Age: 22. 4. (ACC) Clippers F Elton Brand, Age: 27. 5. Bulls G Kirk Hinrich, Age: 25. 6. Magic C Dwight Howard, Age: 20. 7. Cavaliers F LeBron James, Age: 21. 8. (ACC) Wizards F Antawn Jamison, Age: 30. 9. Hawks G Joe Johnson, Age: 25. 10. Kings C Brad Miller, Age: 30. 11. (ACC) Hornets G Chris Paul, Age: 21. 12. Heat G Dwyane Wade, Age: 24.
I think that was right in line with our prediction from the start of camp. Way to cook up those ACC grits, Mike. Now just make sure that Kobe makes the final Olympic roster (if healthy) and not your boy JJ.

The Great Omar Kelly's Hurricanes Blog returns again with "Back On the Grind - Part II": The CEO hasn't been in a good mood lately based on what he's been seeing from..." We think the CEO and his Canes are going to be just fine. http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_college_hurricanes/2006/08/back_on_the_gri_1.html
StateFansNation brings you a link to to SI's predictions for conference finishes. 1-7 for the Pack?!?! I'm no Wolfpacker, but I can't see that kind of finish in conference, even for 'ol Red Shoes Chuck. Even the Belly, in his worst year (has there really been a good one yet?) finished won more than 1 game in conference. Good read. http://www.statefansnation.com/index.php/archives/2006/08/16/si-pack-to-go-1-7-in-acc/
We missed this one by our friend Dave Sez but we bring it to you now: "Why the Big Four Struggles." http://www.davesez.com/archives/001130.php
