Catching Up

To all my concerned readers (all five of you), the QCSB is back online.  My laptop died, and it took some time for the new one to arrive.  This blog never died; it’s just that it’s not very fun to blog on a desktop.  So, let’s catch up with some tidbits on what’s been going [...]

Charlotte 49ers Shoot Down #20 Louisville Cardinals

It looks like we may have another season of serious college basketball in the QC.  It’s still early in the season, but the 49ers look like a tournament contender out of the A-10.  A victory on the road over a Big East team, #20 Louisville, will certainly help their case if they’re on the bubble come [...]
