Bruton Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports says he has offered the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech $20 million each to play a football game at Bristol Motor Speedway. Incredible. The track holds something like 170,000 people, but I don’t know how they would configure it for football. But, does that even matter? $20…

The Cincinnati Enquirer has an article today listing a number of potential replacements for Bob Huggins at Cincinnati. Among the coaches listed are three from the ACC – Skip Prosser, Herb Sendek and Oliver Purnell. Let me discuss. Prosser – No F’n Way. Are they kidding? I thought Pittsburgh was nuts for going after him…

Rivals.com journeyed the whole of the land to find the toughest place to play a college football game (as a visitor of course. It wouldn’t make much sense to be tough on the home team. Of course, if they did such a ranking, Wallace Wade would have to be a contender, right?). And what stadium…

Like the article points out, this was inevitable. Someone was bound to do a ranking of the best UNC basketball teams ever. And they did. This time they used a computer to make it seem more legit and the computer says that the 2005 Tar Heels were the best ever. To that I say “balderdash!”…

NC State, Florida State and Carolina fans should be proud. Players from their teams were the only ACC representatives in the Boi From Troy’s Gay Viewers Guide to the 2005 College Football Season. Marcus Stone of NC State, Matt Baker of UNC and Drew Weatherford were the single-out ACC players. Go get ’em boys!

The timing is odd, if the decision isn’t – Bob Huggins is being fired by Cincinnati. Evidently, he was given a choice – accept a buyout of $3 million or be fired and take $2 million. Not really a tough choice for Huggins, and according to 850 The Buzz, he took the extral mil. Man,…

So, last Friday news comes out that Virginia football coach Al Groh had signed a new contract. The new deal is huge, paying Groh about $1.7M a year. One point seven million a year! I was pretty stunned by the numbers. It doesn’t seem that long ago that Steve Spurrier was the first college coach…

Julius Hodge won an NBA Live 06 video game tournament against other NBA rookies by repeatedly fouling, a la Jim Valvano’s Cardiac Pack. Hodge beat former Tar Heel Sean May in the finals because May couldn’t figure out how to hit free throws. Pretty funny, in that Jules’ strategy accurately sums up his game. Hodge…

You know how you always read those quotes from coaches, GMs, players, etc about how they don’t read Internet message boards? Well, one Atlanta Hawks owner certainly does. He not only reads them, but he posts from time to time! Bruce Levenson of the Atlanta Spirit, the infighting group that owns the Hawks, posted on…

Need a handy schedule for ACC football games? Joe Ovies at 850 The Buzz (a radio station and blog out of Raleigh) put together a very sweet one. He did it up in Excel and used the helmets of each team. It looks very cool. Does your company have a nice color printer? You might…
