Caulton Tudor’s article today puts forth the claim that the ACC has no elite football teams this year. He says that while there are several good teams, none look great. I actually tend to agree with him, but it’s too early to really be sure. Teams grow. Miami and FSU looked pretty bad on Monday…

This is not the time of year when you normally read lacrosse news, but this item is just too weird to ignore. Two former Virginia lacrosse players, including 2003 All-American Joe Yevoli will play next season for Syracuse. Evidently both players have graduated from UVA and have enrolled in graduate programs at Syracuse. I’ve never…

I haven’t gotten around to putting together a weekend roundup yet, but hope to later today. Meanwhile, you can watch this cartoon put out by the News & Observer. It’s a Napolean Dynamite-inspired parody of NC State coach Chuck Amato. It’s surprisingly well done. Of course, if you’ve never seen the movie, it might just…

Caulton Tudor of the News & Observer wrote an interesting article yesterday about the apparent curse on Florida State quarterbacks. FSU had a steady stream of great QBs up through Chris Weinke, the balding Heisman trophy winner. But ever since, although FSU still pulls in top high school signal callers every year, the Seminoles haven’t…

Bruton Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports says he has offered the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech $20 million each to play a football game at Bristol Motor Speedway. Incredible. The track holds something like 170,000 people, but I don’t know how they would configure it for football. But, does that even matter? $20…

The Cincinnati Enquirer has an article today listing a number of potential replacements for Bob Huggins at Cincinnati. Among the coaches listed are three from the ACC – Skip Prosser, Herb Sendek and Oliver Purnell. Let me discuss. Prosser – No F’n Way. Are they kidding? I thought Pittsburgh was nuts for going after him…

Rivals.com journeyed the whole of the land to find the toughest place to play a college football game (as a visitor of course. It wouldn’t make much sense to be tough on the home team. Of course, if they did such a ranking, Wallace Wade would have to be a contender, right?). And what stadium…

Like the article points out, this was inevitable. Someone was bound to do a ranking of the best UNC basketball teams ever. And they did. This time they used a computer to make it seem more legit and the computer says that the 2005 Tar Heels were the best ever. To that I say “balderdash!”…

NC State, Florida State and Carolina fans should be proud. Players from their teams were the only ACC representatives in the Boi From Troy’s Gay Viewers Guide to the 2005 College Football Season. Marcus Stone of NC State, Matt Baker of UNC and Drew Weatherford were the single-out ACC players. Go get ’em boys!

The timing is odd, if the decision isn’t – Bob Huggins is being fired by Cincinnati. Evidently, he was given a choice – accept a buyout of $3 million or be fired and take $2 million. Not really a tough choice for Huggins, and according to 850 The Buzz, he took the extral mil. Man,…
