And in the game-turning moment, freshman forward Elias Harris – the happy revelation of this 
young season – whacked Wake’s Chas McFarland with an ugly forearm shot to the gullet, properly earning him a flagrant technical foul and ejection. A series of town halls is in the works to parse the ethical and societal implications, and clergy will remain on red alert. While it’s fun to muss the hair of the pious, the Harris foul was certainly unpleasant to witness and his ejection a fatal development for the Zags, who still might have managed to overcome it had the Demon Deacons not been so adept themselves at bailing when water started coming over the side.

Only once, when I had to convince a fellow soldier that what we were doing was right. He was frozen. In times of stress, sometimes we need to make our point, especially when lives are at stake.

No way JBelle, not one of your posts. You have always been elegant and a very special family member, DFO must have been in a fog that day.
