NC State fans will recognize this story – hotshot coach returns to his alma mater and immediately affects positive changes in the program. Expectations immediately rise along with the excitement, but after a few years the team isn’t really winning any more than they were before he showed up. Chuck Amato’s story, say hello to…

The ACC – Big Ten Challenge kicks off for the eighth time tonight when Virginia Tech visits Ohio State. In the previous six years, the ACC has won the “challenge” every single time. 6-0. If it were ping-pong, one more ACC win and the game would be over. Next. Are you ready Big East? Sure,…

The Courtmaster has a very nice review of the early season ACC basketball play over at the DBR. He runs down every team and throws in a preview of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, which starts tonight. I’m hoping to get my own Challenge preview out as well. I’ll throw my thoughts about various ACC teams…

Have you heard the latest hit out of Miami? It’s not to be missed. Well, unless maybe you are sensitive to things like profanity, awful lyrics, poor musical ability and oh … gangbangs. Yes, it’s quite a little ditty and it’s courtesy of the Miami Hurricanes. Incredible. Actually, the most amazing part of the whole…

OK, so there’s not really an ACC-Big East Challenge anymore, but there should be. With the improvement of the Big East and the recent raiding of three of their members by the ACC, it would be a hell of a spectacle. But, it doesn’t exist, so we have to make do with the regularly scheduled…

What a great weekend of football we had last weekend! Going in, almost all of the games had critical importance to one or both teams. With so many ACC teams nearing the magical 6-5 mark that earns (potentially) a bowl bid, it’s a certainty that the last several weekends will have plenty of triumph and…

ESPN has a rare interesting article where they put together an NCAA Tournament field using schools’ all-time rosters. They limited each school to just seven players, so some teams are not quite as overpowering as they could be. They seeded the 32 teams they picked and Scoop Jackson (he’s actually tolerable in this – go…
