There’s only one game left for each ACC team, except for Clemson, who’s done. That’s a fair enough time to pick an All-ACC team. Conceivably, a player could play himself up or done in that last game, but I’ll ignore that possibility, because starting next week, we’ll be talking about the ACC and NCAA tourneys.…
Caulton Tudor actually has a pretty good article on the All ACC voting for this year. I have been having the same thoughts. The league is very balanced and so many of the teams rely on depth more than a few individuals that it’s hard to find players to single out. I was hoping to…
It’s the time of year when college basketball fans, at least those of us who follow middling teams, go into power geek mode. We look at various ratings, we read articles about who’s on the bubble and who’s not, and we overanalyze the last few games on the schedule. Well, count me in! I’m going…
Now, I’ve known that Jim Harrick was a snake for a long time. He showed his true nature way back when he was UCLA. He basically dared them to fire him by filling out a faked expense report to cover up an illegal recruiting dinner and then lied to his boss about it. To repeat,…
Well, well, it looks like the Proletariat is rising up. Last night Georgia Tech ended Duke’s 41 game home winning streak, temporarily keeping the Dukies from clinching the ACC regular season title. Hours later, Maryland won at NC State, eliminating State’s chance of catching Duke at the top. The Georgia Tech win was interesting because…
Shhhhh…. No one say a word, but with an 84-82 win over #11 Wake Forest tonight, UVA has moved up onto the NCAA bubble. They are now 6-9 in the ACC. Their only remaining regular season game is at Maryland. It would be yet another upset, but considering they have beaten Georgia Tech, UNC and…
Now, normally I don’t care too much about baseball. I used to follow it, but decided that it just bores me now and I don’t have the time for it. But one thing I always have an interest in is insincerity, especially when it pertains to sports. This Barry Bonds and steriods things has gone…
In the interviews before yesterday’s World Match Play finals, Davis Love III compared Tiger Woods to Duke. Comparing the golf tournament to the NCAA tourney (don’t all tournaments now?), he said about Tiger, “It’s like Duke coming out of the East. You know you’re going to see him in the final game.” A pretty accurate…
One month ago, it was a given that the ACC, the best conference in the country, was going to get seven NCAA bids. Things have changed. FSU lost to Duke last night to drop to 6-9 in the conference, with only a game at GT left. Looks like 6-10 for them. Maryland has done even…
While I was watching the NC State – UNC game last night and UNC’s halftime lead was dwindling, I knew what I was going to write about. I remember back when Dean Smith was the coach at UNC. They were always good and they always came back on you. Even if your team was playing…
