Good News, Bad News

The good news: the first UNC-Duke game of the year is tonight. It's a little less interesting than it might be, as Carolina guard Ty Lawson has a sprained ankle and the Tar Heels are nowhere near as good without him, but it's still likely to be a good game, and the atmosphere is always great.

The bad news: Dick Vitale has recovered from throat surgery, and will call the game for ESPN.

I wonder how annoying it would be to stream the radio call on the tablet...
