Caulton Tudor’s article today puts forth the claim that the ACC has no elite football teams this year. He says that while there are several good teams, none look great. I actually tend to agree with him, but it’s too early to really be sure. Teams grow. Miami and FSU looked pretty bad on Monday…

This is not the time of year when you normally read lacrosse news, but this item is just too weird to ignore. Two former Virginia lacrosse players, including 2003 All-American Joe Yevoli will play next season for Syracuse. Evidently both players have graduated from UVA and have enrolled in graduate programs at Syracuse. I’ve never…

I haven’t gotten around to putting together a weekend roundup yet, but hope to later today. Meanwhile, you can watch this cartoon put out by the News & Observer. It’s a Napolean Dynamite-inspired parody of NC State coach Chuck Amato. It’s surprisingly well done. Of course, if you’ve never seen the movie, it might just…

I can’t believe opening weekend of college football is here! Normally, I would have been getting fired up all week and would have put out a decent preview. Instead, I’ve been watching and reading about the troubles in New Orleans and Mississippi. Kind of makes football seem insignificant, huh? That distraction led to my completely…

Bob Pentland is back for his first lengthy football piece, where he discusses the trendy zone blitz. As expected, Bob is dropping some serious knowledge here. Your assignment is to read this and see if you can’t spot the real thing this weekend as the college season kicks off. Maybe you can impress your buddies…

Is there any interest in being in a free Dave Sez fantasy football league? I’ve “run” one for my office for years, but there aren’t really enough avid sports fans here to do that anymore. I’m in one league, but could handle another. If you are interested (and I’m thinking of using this new site),…

Caulton Tudor of the News & Observer wrote an interesting article yesterday about the apparent curse on Florida State quarterbacks. FSU had a steady stream of great QBs up through Chris Weinke, the balding Heisman trophy winner. But ever since, although FSU still pulls in top high school signal callers every year, the Seminoles haven’t…

Just the other day, I finally decided to download and play with Google Earth. Man, what a cool program. I could play with it for hours. Actually, I think I already have. If you haven’t tried it yet, go get it. It’s free. So anyway, after playing with it for a while, I had an…

If things go well (meaning if my wife doesn’t kill me for skipping out on putting the kids to bed), I’ll be appearing on the Sports Bloggers Live Internet radio show tonight. I’m supposed to come on about about 7:45 Eastern and will be talking about Bruton Smith’s crazy $40 million football game. If this…

This hurricane terrifies me. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to be hit by a Category 5 storm. To everyone in her path – good luck and be safe. Update: Holy crap – URGENT – WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 413 PM CDT SUN AUG 28 2005 EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HURRICANE…
