One of my favorite non-SoCon blogs is the Wake Forest slanted Blogger So Dear. I did a fun Q&A with them a few years ago when the Demon Deacons made the short trip over to the Greensboro Coliseum to play UNCG. Since then I've kept up with their blog closely.
Over the past two years, Wake has fallen on some hard times. The decline started after the 2009-2010 season when they fired Dino Gaudio for hodge-podge of reasons. Since then the program there has turned into a massive rebuild project under the direction of Jeff Bzdelik.
Today, Martin Rickman of Blogger so Dear wrote an interesting blog post comparing what he's seen out of new UNCG coach Wes Miller to the Deacs and Jeff Bzdelik. It's fun to see our team through an outsider's eyes. Plus, I always like it when people in the area realize that there is college basketball being played in other places than Durham and Chapel Hill (*cough* N&R, W-S Journal *cough*).

New UNCG Sports Blog
Calvin Walters is the sports editor for UNCG's school newspaper, The Carolinian. He has started a new UNCG sports blog. There is a very good recap of UNCG's basketball kick-off event that took place this past Sunday, as well as some great pictures from the event.
I plan on putting it into my daily rotation of web sites to check. Hopefully all of you will do the same. Good luck with the new site, Calvin !!!

Homecoming
That's how I plan on referring to the UNCG-Davidson game this coming Thursday at the Greensboro Coliseum. I'm going to use this post to link to some game related articles. Plus, I'll throw in a few links to some other Davidson blogs, and there are quite a few of them.
I'll be back later this evening or tomorrow with my actual game preview.
- News & Record story discussing the fact that there will be beer sales for the game. It points out that the coliseum basically sells beer at all of their events. So, this will be a non-issue.
- UNCG student ticket allotment's have almost sold out. 2,250 tickets have already been distributed and as of the article, there were only 250 left.
- Speaking of tickets, you can buy them here. I know in the past games at the coliseum that there have been plenty of really good seats left right before game time. I don't think that's going to be the case for this game. If you're wanting lower-level seats, buy them now, as opposed to getting them at the window. They're running a 4 for $44 special (with 4 drinks and 4 hot dogs).
- There are a lot of events planned prior to the game. Here's an article on Spartanfest.
- Thursday will be another "Blue & Gold Day". You may remember that the first Blue & Gold Day was on Friday December 5th. This was the day that the permanent move to the Greensboro Coliseum was announced.
- Kyle Hines' latest blog entry from Italy.
- UNCG athletics is now writing a blog too. The first installment can be found here.
