I tell you what, it’s a LOT more fun to write about ACC basketball than football and it’s not just because I like hoops better. A couple of weeks into the basketball season and the ACC has already earned more significant non-conference wins than in the entire football season. This is just way more fun.…

God, I love Bobby Bowden. When talking to reporters about how his son Fredo resigned and why, he uncorked this awesome quote: Because you all ignited it. You listen to eBay and e-mail and all that junk, and you all kept writing about it and that fans it and makes it grow and grow, and…

What to do about Chuck Amato? What to do? Now in year 3 PR (post Rivers), it’s clear that NC State is NOT on the verge of greatness. It’s abundantly clear that Chuck has not capitalized on the momentum he built up in his first few years and that the program is no longer the…

StateFans Nation is reporting that there’s a rumor buzzing around NC State’s campus that Chuck Amato has been fired. Keep in mind that SFN is making it clear that this is just a rumor with legs, not actual news. Not yet. I hope it’s not true. I’ve been batting an Amato article around in my…

Looking for a little something special for your little something special this holiday season? Well, how about some music from basketball star and Christian crooner Jerry Stackhouse (scroll down a bit)? Word on the street is that following the huge success of this limited release single, he has a new track hitting stores in January.…

With two weekends left of ACC football, only one half of the conference championship is set. Georgia Tech wrapped up the Coastal Division last weekend (and yes, I have to look up the names each time. It’s going to take a few years to get used to this divisional thing.), but Wake Forest, Maryland and…

On the eve of perhaps the biggest regular season game in Michigan football history, legendary coach Bo Schembechler passed away at the age of 77. There are two very nice tributes at mgoblog and the Sports Frog. You have to wonder if this will affect the game at all tomorrow. Probably not too much, but…

I’m a little stunned here. The joke possibilties are overwhelming (would you say I have a plethora?). Mustapha Farrakhan, the grandson of calypso singer and National of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, has signed to play basketball at Virginia. I guess it makes sense. Jesse Jackson’s son played linebacker for George Welsh in the early 90s.…

How about a quick rundown of all the games played so far? Who’s up for that? I’ll sprinkle in some comments about the games of interest. Tuesday, Nov. 7 Maryland 102, Hampton 75 Wednesday, Nov. 8 Maryland 81, Vermont 63 As I wrote about before, those are two nice wins for Maryland after struggling in…

Just a couple of days after the unthinkable, being shut out by Wake Forest at home, Jeff Bowden has done the only sensible thing. He’s quitting. Godfather Bobby Bowden could stick up for his inept son for only so long. I’m sure the folks in Tallahassee are dancing in the streets right now. Sources say…
