Sports Shack poster pope_ttb_xxx alerted me to this Barry Jacobs article about UNC and Duke. I’ve written before of my love for Jacobs’ work, so you shouldn’t be surprised that I’m linking him up again. He writes what I’ve been feeling about this Carolina team. They are good, but they aren’t that good. It’s not…

You’ve probably seen some stories about this by now – the NCAA released their new report on academic performance at member schools. The report uses a complicated standard called the Academic Progress Rate to combine lots of factors into one tidy score. The score is out of 1000 and the NCAA says that 925 is…

David Madurzak has a new college basketball blog (because God knows we need more) and has a nice post comparing the ACC to other major conferences this season. I have to say that I was pretty surprised by his numbers. From what he shows, the ACC has actually had a pretty phenomenal year. It doesn’t…

It was another tough weekend for the ACC bubble teams. NC State, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Georgia Tech and Miami all had chances to help or cement their chances.

Yes, I’m linking to another Al Featherston article. As long as he keeps writing these great pieces, I’m going to link to them. This one is a great look at college basketball recruiting, focusing of course on local stories and Shavlik Randolph in particular. Like his earlier works, this one has some nice stories from…

It’s getting close to the end of the season and time to start thinking about the all-conference teams. With eleven teams in the league now, competition for the fifteen spots on the three teams is especially fierce. At least six teams, more than half the league, are guaranteed to have no players represented on the…

Today’s update is a bit late, so I’ll keep it a bit brief. After my rant yesterday on the piss poor effort of the ACC’s middle tier, you should know that I wasn’t surprised at all that Duke won at Georgia Tech. In fact I even picked it. The game was pretty horrid, but I…

Fast food makes me think of fat. Looking at this year’s list of McDonald’s All-Americans makes me think of the fat getting fatter. Duke and Carolina each have three recruits selected to the prestigous team. NC State has one. No other ACC team has any. What’s that mean? You know. It means that Duke and…

See if you can spot the pattern: Maryland travels down to Duke and wins. Soon after, Maryland travels to Clemson and loses. Later, Maryland plays Duke at home and wins. Soon after, Maryland plays Clemson at home and loses. Like Barry Bonds would say, it’s like Sanford and Son.
