Holy crap! I never thought I’d live to see the day when Wake Forest was named ACC Football Champion. Hell, I never thought about it period, especially not in a conference with Florida State, Miami and Virginia Tech. I mean, are you kidding me? Wake Forest? It’s just crazy. Keep your eye out for clouds…

The iron couldn’t be hotter. Jim Grobe had (is having) a legendary year at Wake Forest, he was unanimously voted the ACC Coach of the Year and first-tier jobs Alabama and Miami have opened up. Now is the time for Jim Grobe to cash in on the hard work he’s done building a program at…

It’s been a crappy year for the ACC on the gridiron, but not on the pitch. The ACC has long been dominant in college soccer, particularly women’s soccer, and that tradition continues. The men and women both have their Final Four, or College Cup as they call it, this weekend. The ACC put two teams…

Last night the ACC headed into its five ACC-Big Ten “Challenge” games with a 4-2 lead, needing to win just two more to take the title again. Not content with a small win, the Good Guys went 4-1, administering yet another whupping to our midwestern friends by a total of 8-3. In the marquee matchup…

Last night’s games weren’t terribly pretty and they didn’t all work out the ACC’s way, but I’ll take it. The Good Guys went 3-2 to push the overall “Challenge” lead to 4-2. With five more games tonight, the ACC just needs to win two to make it eight for eight in “Challenges” against the Big…

This doesn’t make the Bryan Pata story any less tragic, but maybe his murder wasn’t quite as unexpected as we were led to believe. Evidently, police seized the following weapons from his apartment, an assault rifle, shotgun and handgun. An assault rifle! Boy am I glad that Miami’s in the ACC now. Just loving it.

One game down, a one game lead for the ACC. I didn’t realize my TiVo was recording other stuff, so I only saw the last 12 mnutes, but I liked what I saw of NC State beating Michigan. Don’t misunderstand, I wasn’t terribly impressed by the basketball. NC State looked a bit unsure how to…

Man, this snuck up on me! I didn’t realize until this morning that the ACC/Big Ten “Challenge” kicks off tonight when NC State travels to Michigan. The ACC has won the “Challenge” each of the first seven years and looks to make it eight for eight this time around. That’s why I put quotes around…

Of course you know, I’ve been a Wake Forest football fan forever. So, like my black and gold brethren, I couldn’t have been prouder or more jubilant when my Deacs went up to College Park and smacked the Terrapins around to win the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Drink that and in and swirl it around a…

According to the News and Observer, Chuck Amato has been fired at NC State. The news is evidently not official, but N&O cites several unnamed sources. While I used the verb “fired,” the N&O doesn’t quite put it that way, but I seriously doubt that Old Chuck resigned unless it was with a revolver at…
