About David Frail

I'm just happy to be writing about sports. It's my passion in life to discuss anything to do with organized sports (and fishing), so comment please, I will respond. Avid Canes fan, but I have found myself cheering for other schools in certain situations. Also a waning Kentucky basketball fan for about 20 years, but still love talking about the old school teams from the 90's. Love MLB (Astros are my lowly favorite), but can't remember the last time I watched a college baseball game, so you won't see much of that from me. Check out my blog for some good NBA talk as well http://title-for-real.blogspot.com/

The defense was scary on Saturday. No, I mean I am scared that the Hurricanes won’t ever get the ball back. Did Chase Rettig just throw another 20 yard pass?
