If you thought that maybe Willie Williams’ departure from Miami meant that maybe they’d lose a bit of their thug edge, wonder no more. Check this story out – Hurricane safety Willie Cooper (Dub-C of 7th-Floor Crew fame) was shot in the ass this morning. Two great aspects of this story – first, it happened…

FanBlogs has a link to a SportingNews.com article ranking the ACC football stadiums. As always, this sort of article is less about the actual picks than the discussion it generates. That said, I thik Matt Hayes did a pretty good job ranking the stadiums. I think you could debate Lane vs. Doak vs. Death Valley…

I remember Brien Taylor. He was quite possibly the most hyped baseball prospect ever – a can’t miss kid with a million-dollar arm headed to the Yankees. I remember being somewhat disgusted by the demands of his family. They weren’t content with the Yankees’ initial offer of just over $300K for a signing bonus. They…

The Duke Basketball Report is 10 years old today. That’s pretty impressive for any website, much less one that’s pretty much run by the seat of the pants. In Internet time, 10 years old qualifies you for Social Security and adult diapers. So, congrats to the guys at the DBR! It’s not a very sexy…

(Still catching up on old stuff …) I’ve done my share of Chuck Amato bashing on this site. It’s not that I hate the guy or think he’s a complete idiot, I just find him funny. Also, I can’t resist to poke sticks at his inflated ego and the inherited pride that so many Pack…

I haven’t written anything about Zinedine Zidane’s fabulous final flame-out (other than this), because I just couldn’t find the right words. Imagine my surprise when I found out (thanks to the ACCBasketblog) that football’s own Dr. Z (maybe the best football writer going) knows a bit about futbol as well. Dr. Z’s thoughts about Zidane…

Now I’m excited! I’ve had my 2005 ACC Helmet Schedule hanging on my wall all year – god bless the color printers at work (shhhh!) – and lately it’s been making me pine for the fall. Once again, Joe Ovies of 850 The Buzz did an outstanding job putting it together. Here ya go –…

(Catching up on some old stories …) In 1993, Bobby Cremins, the charismatic coach of Georgia Tech shocked the sports world when he announced that he was leaving to take the head coaching job at South Carolina, his alma mater. It was a huge hire for the Gamecocks and a crushing blow for Georgia Tech.…

TechSideLine.com has an interesting article up today reviewing ACC bowl performance over the past 13 years. Why 13 years? Because that’s exactly the length of the current Virginia Tech bowl streak. So, it’s a bit of a self-serving sample, but it’s still a good review of recent history. The Hokies have been to a bowl…

I wrote an article the other day about the twenty-year anniversary of the death of Len Bias. In that piece, I tried – probably unsuccessfully – to describe just how good he was in college. Well, thanks to Bill Simmons’ latest piece, I now have a way to show you. YouTube (a fantastic website) has…
