This was the sort of game that made you remember why high school football can be so terrific, with its volatile mix of grace, unpredictability and testosterone.

The Butler Bulldogs have no doubt this season will be different.

If the Charlotte Bobcats had lost this one, you would have heard the air going out of the team's basketball all over the Carolinas.

If you needed any more evidence that the interlinked worlds of John Fox and Jake Delhomme have crumbled this NFL season, you needed to look no further than these words from the Panthers' head coach Monday.

Basketball star Stephen Curry wanted to show the Davidson community how thankful he is for the past three years.

The Carolina Panthers beat Tampa Bay 28-21 Sunday in spite of Jake Delhomme, not because of him.

If the Panthers can't gain 100 yards rushing against Tampa Bay today - and they've only done that once in four tries this season - then their run game is really in trouble.

I looked back last week at some words I typed only 10 months ago and shook my head: "Tonight is theoretically just another football game in Charlotte. Of course, Stephen Curry is theoretically just another college basketball player. The Eiffel Tower is theoretically just another building."
