— USC-North Carolina played an exhibition basketball game in Greensboro Friday; college teams play exhibition games now, both of these teams are playing three.
Michael Malone coaches UNC, Eric Musselman coaches USC, two former NBA head coaches.
USC was missing three guys; they were up by a hoop at halftime. North Carolina pulled away in the second half, which doesn’t really matter, but it was fun to watch college basketball, well it is really semi-pro basketball now, but you get what I mean.
— RIP to football great Mike Ditka, who passed away this week at age 86.
Ditka was the first tight end to get inducted into the Hall of Fame; he played 12 years in the NFL, catching 427 passes, 42 for touchdowns. He also coached the Bears for 11 years, the Saints for three years. His 1985 Bears won Super Bowl XX. RIP, sir.
