Click here to watch a cool video montage of great soccer goals. The music is a little unfortunate – Creed – but otherwise, it’s damn fun. There are quite a few famous goals in here, but I’d never seen many of them. My favorites are probably the Roberto Carlos free kick (simply incredible) and that…

NC State fans will recognize this story – hotshot coach returns to his alma mater and immediately affects positive changes in the program. Expectations immediately rise along with the excitement, but after a few years the team isn’t really winning any more than they were before he showed up. Chuck Amato’s story, say hello to…

The Courtmaster has a very nice review of the early season ACC basketball play over at the DBR. He runs down every team and throws in a preview of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, which starts tonight. I’m hoping to get my own Challenge preview out as well. I’ll throw my thoughts about various ACC teams…

Who knew Bob Novak was a Maryland Terrapin fan? It seems that my favorite CIA spy-leaking columnist was getting on a flight to Hawaii to watch his beloved Terps play and he got into an altercation with another passenger. Bob, Bob, Bob. A true Maryland fan knows that you wait to riot until after the…

Have you heard the latest hit out of Miami? It’s not to be missed. Well, unless maybe you are sensitive to things like profanity, awful lyrics, poor musical ability and oh … gangbangs. Yes, it’s quite a little ditty and it’s courtesy of the Miami Hurricanes. Incredible. Actually, the most amazing part of the whole…

OK, so there’s not really an ACC-Big East Challenge anymore, but there should be. With the improvement of the Big East and the recent raiding of three of their members by the ACC, it would be a hell of a spectacle. But, it doesn’t exist, so we have to make do with the regularly scheduled…

ESPN has a rare interesting article where they put together an NCAA Tournament field using schools’ all-time rosters. They limited each school to just seven players, so some teams are not quite as overpowering as they could be. They seeded the 32 teams they picked and Scoop Jackson (he’s actually tolerable in this – go…

if you won the lottery? What if it were the $300 million Mega Millions lottery? Well Eagle in Atlanta knows what he would do (and he bought a ticket to make his dream come true) – he’d go all SEC on the Boston College football program. Cheat, cheat, cheat his way to titles galore. Gotta…

Former Duke basketball player Robert Brickey is now the new basketball coach at Shaw University. I really liked Brickey as a player mainly because the dude could jump out of the gym. He wasn’t the greatest player, but man I loved to watch him get up. It’s interesting that he’s gotten into coaching and seems…

The News & Observer had a nice article yesterday about UNC’s ridiculously good recruiting class for next year. Better get your kicks in this year, because they won’t be down for long. As a very interesting addendum to this story, they also ran brief listings of Bob Gibbon’s best recruiting classes ever including details about…
