Broghammer shouldn't be too much of a challenge. And I think he should win the next round fairly easy. It's after that when it starts getting tough. 3/13/2012 3:02:32 PM |

^^Nice recycled caption, reading Leslie may have to sit out the next two games for receiving impermissible benefits.
Quote : | "Battle’s father Richard is a UNC graduate. His mother Carol is an N.C. State graduate.
Battle’s sister, Cameron, is a UNC grad. Another sister, Sterling, is a junior at N.C. State.
The cross loyalties should make for an interesting trip to St. Louis this week for Friday’s Midwest Regional featuring the Tar Heels and the Wolfpack in consecutive games.
“It’s pretty crazy,” Battle said, smiling again. “It gets real intense when the games come up. Sometimes, we don’t talk to each other for a while.”
Battle said his parents do sit together when the Pack and Heels face off, such as at this year’s ACC Tournament in Atlanta.
“I try to keep my eye on them during the games to make sure nothing breaks out,” he joked.
As for the ESPN contest, Battle realizes the ultimate test could still lie ahead should he advance. The top seed in his regional is Bak Bak of California.
Wolfpack teammate Scott Wood said he’s disappointed not to be in ESPN’s tournament but realizes he has a generic name.
“My family tries to keep it simple,” he said.
So Wood is throwing all his support to Staats Battle. He’s voted for him, twice." |
Lol at all of this.

Staats vs. Bak "Bak Bak" is a very interesting and unique name. But objectively, is it as cool as "Staats Battle"? 3/25/2012 10:24:38 PM |

Is it unique? I assumed he was named after a character from Arabian Nights.
Edit: Wiki has that name soelled as Bacbouc. Ah well.
