Southside Connection (Friday, 12-16-2011) - The Top 5.
[Dec. 16, 2011] 1.) The ACC has just announced an increase to 18 inter-ACC Men's Hoops games per season, beginning in the 2012-2013 season. Is this good for ACC Hoops and NCAA Basketball? Share your thoughts...

a. Danny Marshall Yeah it's real good.. As big as the acc is getting. They need extra games to be more competitive... big fan of you Ed keep up the good work

b. Craig Henderson With the expansion they had to. Wish they wouldn't until Pitt and 'Cuse arrived, but it had to happen with 14 and possibly 16 teams soon.

2.) For a driver to participate in NASCAR's Bud Shootout in 2012, he must have finished in the top 25 in points last year or he must have won a points race or shootout at Daytona at some point in their career. This expands the list of eligible drivers to an all-time high of 33. Do you agree (or disagree) with this move? Why?

3.) Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has requested a trade from Orlando if the Magic can’t get him the pieces to win. Does this make him a bad Christian?

4.) Given the poor conditioning the NBA lockout has produced, does it make sense to charge fans $50 for 12 great minutes of basketball, instead of $250 for 36 mediocre minutes and 12 great minutes?

5.) As a Christmas gift, you could buy stock in the Green Bay Packers, though you’re not guaranteed return on investment and it’s non-transferable. If you could buy stock in 3 sports brands, which would you choose and why?

a. Eric Bowling UFC, NASCAR, & Formula1

Southside Connection (Thursday, 12-15-2011) -Ric Bucher, ESPN.com NBA reporter (@RicBucher on Twitter).
[Dec. 15, 2011] 1.) Seeing how the NBA intervened to block a Chris Paul trade to the Lakers, does this now give a black eye the new CBA and its ability to protect smaller market teams?

2.) What, if any, precedent has this trade set for future transactions?

3.) Chris Paul to Clippers. Did the NBA do right by the franchise they own.

4.) Can the Clippers really surpass the Lakers as the premiere draw in Los Angeles?

5.) Will the Lakers act more aggressively in acquiring Dwight Howard (and thus give Orlando more in return?

[Dec. 15, 2011] 1.) Gus Malzahn to Arkansas State. Huh?

2.) How about Pitt Coach Todd Graham leaving for Arizona State. Can’t the Sun Devils do better?

3.) Give us 2 coaching changes you see as having the longest shot for success.

4.) Give us the 2 coaching changes you believe are the best fit for both coach and player.

5.) Are you more impressed by RG3 now than 1 week ago? 2 weeks ago?

6.) Is there a Heisman bias against defenders? Why?
