I know this may be old news to some of you. I’ve been meaning to post about it since the story came out, but I’m just getting around to it. What I’m talking about is Andy Katz’s article from a couple Fridays ago about TV’s influence on ACC schedules. It’s something I didn’t know and…

Boston College, who will be joining the ACC next year, is having a tremendous basketball season. They are one of only three undefeated teams left in Division 1 at 16-0 and ranked #8. While I’m glad that they are strong and will add a good team to the conference, I still think Boston College is…

I go away for one weekend and the whole conference goes berserk! OK, that’s not exactly true. Things were already starting to get pretty nutty before I left, and honestly, do things ever go like we think they will? Each year, we see teams play a few times early in the season and think we…

I’ve written several times in the past couple of weeks about how fans of Virginia and NC State have been prematurely panicking about their teams’ chances. It’s too early for that, I argued. There’s plenty of season left. Well, now it’s time. Last night’s losses, Virginia at Maryland and NC State at Virginia Tech, left…

You’ve probably noticed that I link to a fair number of Bill Simmons’ articles. I like the guy. He’s a great writer and I’ve been reading his stuff since before he joined ESPN.com. But.
