Journalist for the Chicago Tribune.
Honored this week to begin a new chapter at the Chicago Tribune, where I’ll be a Senior Reporter on the GA/enterprise team. In other words:

I’ll be looking for great stories all over Chicago and Illinois. Excited to get to work in America’s best and most compelling city.

Settling in at the Smith Center for some bicoastal Atlantic Coast basketball action: Cal at UNC. Last time the Golden Bears were here: November 1997.

That game gave us perhaps the most iconic shot of a Vince Carter dunk, ever. Photograph made (of course) by Hugh Morton.

It’s true, as (highly, highly) unlikely it is that it really goes anywhere: Bill Belichick has had talks with UNC about its head coaching vacancy. www.newsobserver.com/sports/colle...

One of the most surreal scenes I can remember in Triangle college hoops: A chant of "Roll Tide" bellowing in the Smith Center.

On the ACC's woeful "challenge" showing against the SEC, which UNC's performance epitomized. How did things reach such a point? www.newsobserver.com/sports/colle...

Back for more in the Smith Center. Game of significance here this evening between UNC and Alabama.

Big thanks to the Worldwide Leader for scheduling all three Triangle ACC/SEC games at petty much the exact same time, too.

Nice looking out for their comrades in the local media.

UNC wanted to give Mack Brown a proper sendoff Saturday at Kenan Stadium. What happened instead was more fitting: a defeat against N.C. State that epitomized Brown's second tenure – the promise and, ultimately, the disappointment.

Speaking of coaches, checked out UNC's JV game earlier this afternoon. Marcus Paige (like Hubert Davis before him, and Roy Williams a long time ago) is in charge of that team. Would set the over/under at 2041 that Marcus is running the varsity.
