There are certain rules that fans have about players on opposing hoops teams. You always hate the good white players, you might like the really good dunkers (depends on how good an overall player they are and if they dunked on your team) and you always like the really, REALLY big guys. I don’t know…

Heath Miller won the prestigious John Mackey award yesterday. The what, you ask? You know, the Mackey award, given out to the nation’s top tight end. Oh, that one. Anyway, while it’s not really a household name award, it is a good one and it’s the only national award an ACC player is going to…

The ACC released 2004 All-ACC Football teams the other day. One of the things that struck me was that despite adding two very good teams to the conference, this is one of the weakest sets of offensive skill position players that I can remember. No offense to the players selected, who all had good years,…

GoPack.com has a great little article up on David Thompson’s famous fall in Reynolds Coliseum. The game was a second round NCAA tournament game against a physical Pittsburgh squad. I was pretty young when this happened and not yet following sports, so I only learned about it much later. From everything I’ve read and seen…

In a move that was somewhat overshadowed by bigger sports news (steroids, Notre Dame, the BCS mess, etc), NC State defensive coordinator Reggie Herring packed up and left Raleigh to take the same position at Arkansas. This could be a pretty serious blow to State. Herring was there only one year and quickly changed State…

Somehow I’ve managed to avoid congratulating Virginia Tech on wrapping up their first ACC Championship this past weekend. They couldn’t have earned it in grander fashion, beating Miami in the Orange Bowl to win the title outright. I’d have to say that the job that Frank Beamer did with this team has to rank among…

Denny Neagle was arrested and will likely have his $19 million contract voided for the hooker in this picture. Wow. I have nothing really to add here, I just thought that was about the funniest picture I’ve ever seen. Who looks at that and thinks “oh yeah, I got to get me some of that,…

You may have seen the headlines that Greg Paulus announced that he is indeed heading to Duke to play basketball. When I saw that, I didn’t bother to read about it, thinking that the troubles at Notre Dame probably helped him make his decision. I was wrong. It turns out that he’s a little sneak.…

You may or may not have noticed, but I’m not being completely loyal this week. Yoni of the College Basketball blog is on vacation this week and asked me to guest blog a bit on his site. Since I have a wandering eye and his site is dead sexy, I said yes. Hey, I’m only…

Tommy Bowden has been going on a firing spree down at Clemson. A quiet, surgical firing spree, not unlike a mob hitman taking out his revenge. First, it was coordinators Mike O’Cain and John Lovett and then coach Thielen Smith. The way he’s gone about, without telling anyone what’s going on, is ruffling some striped…
