    (Catching up on some old stories …) In 1993, Bobby Cremins, the charismatic coach of Georgia Tech shocked the sports world when he announced that he was leaving to take the head coaching job at South Carolina, his alma mater. It was a huge hire for the Gamecocks and a crushing blow for Georgia Tech.…

  • The Finals

    I know I haven’t posted much lately, but I am still around. I’m not trapped under a large object, adrift at sea or finding myself in India. Just been busy with work and sort of taking things slowly in the college sports off season. As I’ve mentioned before, one sporting event that I have been…

    TechSideLine.com has an interesting article up today reviewing ACC bowl performance over the past 13 years. Why 13 years? Because that’s exactly the length of the current Virginia Tech bowl streak. So, it’s a bit of a self-serving sample, but it’s still a good review of recent history. The Hokies have been to a bowl…

    I wrote an article the other day about the twenty-year anniversary of the death of Len Bias. In that piece, I tried – probably unsuccessfully – to describe just how good he was in college. Well, thanks to Bill Simmons’ latest piece, I now have a way to show you. YouTube (a fantastic website) has…

    StateFans Nation found a nice article at rivals.com about former Wolfpack star Rodney Monroe. Monroe, of course with Chris Corchiani, made up Fire & Ice, the potent NC State backcourt of the late Valvano years. It’s always fun to catch up with former ACC stars who didn’t quite make it in the NBA. Oh, the…

    This is the way the World Cup ends Not with a bang, but with a whistle The United States wasn’t playing a great game, but they were playing well enough to give themselves a chance. Like they did in each of their first two games, they controlled possession for most of the first half, but…

    Hey, did you hear who won the award for the best basketball player under six feet? Len Bias. That’s the joke that the speaker at my high school overheard while she was in the bathroom before her speech. It was less than two years after the death of her son and now Lonise Bias was…

    I was checking out my site today, replacing a few images that went missing in the Great Crash of Aught Six and it got me thinking about my Name That Site series. I haven’t done one in a while and dammit, it’s time. The problem was what to pick? I needed a good one. A…

  • The US Tries Again

    After five long days of agonizing, excuse-making and short-sighted exclamations that this is why soccer will never be popular in the United States, our boys kick it off again tomorrow against Italy. Sure, the Italians are a world power and we will be severe underdogs, but anything can happen in one game and I’m staying…

    I was debating whether or not to post about J.J. Redick’s arrest for DWI the other night. I mean, it’s a newsworthy story, but then it’s not really that big of a deal. Mostly, I considered posting it just for the opportunity to make some jokes. But then I went and read Chris Chase’s take.…
