I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the ACC so far this year and I just haven’t figured it out. Clearly the conference is better than last year – there’s been an amazing influx of talent – but I just can’t tell which teams are the legit contenders and which aren’t. Sure, a few…

It’s been a long time, so get ready for your favorite (I’m sure) recurring feature of Dave Sez – Name That Site! Below you’ll find a Google Earth pic of some famous ACC landmark. It might be a building on campus or simply a place where some significant ACC history has taken place. So, what’s…

How about that eight-day stretch for Virginia Tech? They went down to Durham last Saturday and knocked off the Blue Devils in Cameron – exorcising the demons from last year. They beat patsy UNCG during the week like enjoying a bit of sorbet between courses to cleanse the palette. Then they hosted the #1 ranked…

If you younguns haven’t seen Randolph Childress in action, check this little vid out. This is Childress knocking Jeff McInnis down with a crossover and then drilling a three in his face. This was during the 1995 ACC Championship, the year that Childress dominated the entire tournament. And for extra goodness, there are links off…

Saturday, Jan. 6 Va. Tech 69, Duke 67 (OT) I talked about this one here. The bottom line is that Duke is going to have problems with any team with good guards and/or athletic wings and the Hokies have very good guards. With this loss by Duke, the ACC no longer has a clear #2…

Just a week or so ago, Julius Hodge finally made it back to the NBA, getting some run with the depleted Nuggets. But now that their stars are about to come off of suspension, Les Nuggets felt like they needed to deal with their chemistry. There are only so many shots to be had, so…

Step Two: Take a pick of your junk Step Three: Make her look at the pic This is a great story (and I know I’m late to this. I need to make Deadspin a daily read.). ESPN’s smiling moron (well, one of their similing morons) Sean Salisbury evidently whipped out his cell phone one day…

If you watched Duke’s loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday, you certainly noticed the play of Greg Paulus. Paulus turned the ball over three times on Duke’s first four possessions and finished with six TOs in just 18 minutes of play. And that doesn’t even count the last possession when he took a Josh McRoberts…

The Boston Globe ran a great, disturbing article the other day about the relationship between Pop Warner youth football leagues and Disney. Each year, Pop Warner hosts age-group national championships at Disney’s facility in Orlando and charges the teams ridiculous amounts of money for the honor. The agreement between Pop Warner and Disney stipulates that…

With my holiday travels, I didn’t really get to see much basketball over the past couple of weeks. I’m just now starting to catch up to what I missed as we head into the meat of the ACC season (five conference games this weekend). Since I saw few of these games, my comments probably will…
