Back in October 1997, Dean Smith tried to get motivated to start his 37th season as head basketball coach at UNC and found he couldn’t muster the fire. Coaching is a hard job and requires immense amounts of commitment and intensity. When it’s not there, you can’t fake it. Coach Smith knew the signs and…

You like that cheesy title? I knew you would. To continue my recent trend of providing ACC football previews without actually writing my own content, I give you three outstanding compilations of links from the ACCBasketBlog (they aren’t just for basketball anymore!).

There’s just something about Charles Barkley. He’s not the smartest guy in the world, but he’s certainly smart. He’s not the funniest guy in the world, but he’s certainly funny. He’s not the best basketball analyst in the world, but he’s certainly a great one. He’s not any one thing, but as a whole, he’s…

I don’t have much experience watching and evaluating high school football talent, but this highlight reel of Georgia Tech running back recruit Jonathon Dwyer is pretty damn impressive. I don’t know, maybe all D-1 RB recruits look like that against high school competition, but even so, it’s fun to watch.

William Maloney, AKA Eagle In Atlanta, wrote a column last week for his AOL FanHouse site. In it, he ranks the ACC coaches using an objective measure – the coach’s winning percentage versus the school’s all-time winning percentage. It’s hard to find objective ways to compare coaches, but this is a pretty good one. (any…
