Tragedies all around us...

1) So details are still very sketchy, but our ACC breathren Hokies are mourning a huge loss of life. 30+ killed, 20+ wounded, many critically. Condolences to any Hokie alums or students who frequent our blog.

2) TSR and The Baltimore Sun are reporting that LaRon Cephas, former Terp hoopster, Class of 2001, died of a seizure at the age of 29:

LaRon was most recently the Athletic Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis. RIP LaRon. Your chest bumps were the highlight of player introductions and your spirit was effervescent.

The latest from the Washington Post says 32 dead 24 injured at VA Tech. They're saying it's the deadliest mass shooting in US history. Our thoughts and prayers are definitely with the Virginia Tech family.

I hadn't even heard about Ceph. That's really sad. I always thought Ceph was a bit under appreciated. He'll be missed.

At least the weather today didn't suck.
