Graham Hough-Cornwell Graham comes to D.C. from his beloved Bluegrass region of Central Kentucky. After playing soccer and expanding the easily-expandable world of American Studies at Carleton College in Minnesota, he moved to the District last year in search of gainful employment. He found it. The son of two DC-area ex-pats, Graham has an untold number of grandfolks, aunts, uncles, and cousins in the area, and lives and dies by the fortunes of his beloved Redskins. A big music fan, he's sworn off listening to it on the radio and sticks to sports talk. Graham also founded the ill-fated Power Pop Preservation Society, plays bocce, frequents the Afghan Restaurant on Route 1 in Alexandria, and almost exclusively shops at Trader Joe's.

It's tough to throw out the "entitled" line of derision when you sport a double-barreled last name.

It's tough to throw out the "entitled" line of derision when you sport a double-barreled last name. You make an excellent point. I love how someone named Graham Hough-Cornwell is slamming fans for their sense of entitlement. Did he make that post from the country club, his yacht, or his home on Martha's Vineyard?

Seth Davis (Dukie) calls Georgetown a "great team" from his Hoops Thoughts:
• I guess it's time to reassess the argument that Duke is a good defensive team. The Blue Devils allowed Georgetown to shoot a stunning 71.7 percent from the field on Saturday. You can attribute that to Georgetown being a great team (which they are), but remember, N.C. State shot 58.2 percent when it beat Duke on Jan. 20. I'd say that is major cause for concern, no?

Nice article, but I think he got Coach K's quote wrong. He said we weren't a powerhouse.

Some egregious fact-checking (20,000 shirts / Coach K's quote being the OPPOSITE of what he said), but a really fun article.
