‘Tis the season. The season when young basketball stars get to decide if they want to go for the gold or stay for a shot at the golden ring. Truthfully, I think most probably aren’t really thinking about the ring. If they stay, the college life and a possible good team probably are factors, but…

David Glenn has a blog entry up today talking a bit about the ACC and the NFL Draft (What, you thought this post was going to be about Brandan Wright?). It’s a pretty vanilla entry by Glenn’s lofty standards, but there’s one very interesting part. He talks a bit about the programs that have had…

Wanna know how a #1 NFL draft pick (deserved or not) rolls? In a burnt orange Lamborghini at about 130 mph on I-40 here in Raleigh, that’s how. Evidently Super Mario doesn’t follow the news much and hasn’t heard about Kellen Winslow, Ben Roethlisberger or Bobby Hurley. Oh, you might want to put the headphones…

Have you ever wondered why Florida, south Florida in particular, churns out so many fantastic, blazingly fast football players? ESPN the Magazine thinks they know why. Now, I don’t normally seek out ESPN Mag articles, because they tend to be the sports equivalent of People magazine or maybe USA Today, but this one was pretty…

There has been a lot of discussion over the past few days about Virginia Tech’s response in the early hours of Tuesday’s tragedy. Did they take the matter seriously enough?

Sports still seem incredibly unimportant today, but this video is still worth posting. Normally, there’s absolutely no good reason to watch a regular season MLB game, but this isn’t normal. I don’t think. A fan tries and fails to catch a foul ball, while simultaneously spilling his and his buddy’s beer all over the place.…

I’m sure you’ve seen the story by now. A gunman went crazy at Virginia Tech today and killed over 30 people, including himself. It’s just mind boggling. It’s hard to understand how one person could do so much damage. From what I’ve read, he went first to a dorm, looking for his girlfriend. When he…

You probably saw it in the news yesterday, legendary Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson passed away at the age of 88. Robinson is famous for being a great football coach and great leader of young men, particularly the predominantly poor, southern black men who played for them. The Sports Frog posted a story by Bob…

As soon as a season ends, the first thing most fans do is wonder about the next season. Will my team be better or worse? Is anyone going to leave early? What will I do without Jason Cain’s mustache? Thankfully, some of the answers to those questions have been answered by ACC guru Dave Glenn.…

I’m going to be on Grant Thompson’s Internet Radio show again today at 2:35. In previous appearances, I talked about the ACC and it was going to do/was doing in the NCAA Tournament. Well, now that that’s all over and Florida repeated, the inevitable question comes up – where does this team rank among the…
