Wanna know how a #1 NFL draft pick (deserved or not) rolls? In a burnt orange Lamborghini at about 130 mph on I-40 here in Raleigh, that’s how. Evidently Super Mario doesn’t follow the news much and hasn’t heard about Kellen Winslow, Ben Roethlisberger or Bobby Hurley. Oh, you might want to put the headphones…

I’m sure you’ve seen the story by now. A gunman went crazy at Virginia Tech today and killed over 30 people, including himself. It’s just mind boggling. It’s hard to understand how one person could do so much damage. From what I’ve read, he went first to a dorm, looking for his girlfriend. When he…

Expansion was supposed to help the ACC by making it more competitive in football and as a result, more profitable. Well, one out of two ain’t too bad! Expansion has NOT produced much in the way of fantastic football (or basketball, for that matter), but as Bill Maloney (Eagle In Atlanta to you and me)…

This is just crazy. Kentucky basketball coach Tubby Smith is apparently leaving to become the coach at the University of Minnesota. Wow! Talking about shrinking from the light. I thought it was a bit of a stretch to think that he might take the Virginia job a couple of years ago (although by all accounts,…

In my column reviewing the weekend NCAA Tournament games, I wrote a short piece about Tyler Hansbrough’s athleticism and included a final line wondering if he would be viewed differently if he were black. Obviously, that’s the sort of topic that’s not best handled by a single throwaway line, but I didn’t have time to…

The ACC’s reputation wasn’t built in a year, five years or even a decade. The ACC has been the most dominant conference by far over a long period of time. One bad year (and this hasn’t been that bad yet) doesn’t change that. So, I give you David Glenn’s piece from last week detailing just…

I guess J.R. Reynolds’ hip is feeling better! Talk about lighting it up. It’s amazing how much better Virginia is when he’s hitting shots. Sean Singletary will always be dangerous with the ball – quickness doesn’t come and go – but his effectiveness is limited if the team has no other threat. I mentioned before…

Calling on in transit Calling on in transit Radio Free Europe, radio … I never knew what that song meant, and I still don’t. Makes no sense to me, but I like it. Likewise, I can’t explain my recent radio frequency, but I like it. I had a great time on Grant Thompson’s Sports Pulse…

This is another guest article from William Loeffler. Previously, he took a look at the most important game in ACC basketball history. This time he takes a look at Mike Krzyzewski’s career at Duke. —————– A Comparison Between the Duke Teams of pre-1996 and post-1996. Dave has linked to an Al Featherston article that touches…

This one comes courtesy of StateFans Nation. They have a piece up about what they call “The worst call in NCAA Tournament history,” when Rick Hartzell whistled Chis Corchianni for a phantom traveling violation. The video they include is pretty damn conclusive – no travel. Not even close. It wasn’t even one of those times…
