CCNY needs this team ---
anthony evans, coach of norfolk state, the current cinderella team is new york bred. the team includes eight nyc guys who in the good old days would have been playing for CITY COLLEGE.
i watched evans closely during the game when the camera was on him. i read him as a realistic nyc guy who knows that disaster and defeat can happen to you at any time. crushing defeat awaits just around the corner. many of the other coaches fat-cat, and redfaced from rich schools seem more concerned about their next good-old-boy party and their next beer, funnel cakes, beef jerky, ribs and heart attacks.
sporting news says evans is making under 200k. i bet its closer to 80k.
today norfolk state team faces the university of florida. they seem to be more interested in being known as the gators rather than a university. thats odd .... hmmmm.
the oddsmakers yesterday had norfolk as 14 point underdogs. expectations as you can see are not too good. we'll see at 6 pm. seeya.
