First, let me say that this is my second post on the (unofficial) ACC – SEC Challenge, and it’s already the second time I have to admit to screwing up. As helpful reader Kevin Ryan pointed out to me, I completely spaced on the Virginia – Auburn game from Friday night. Considering that I’m a…

Edit: I’m a retard. When I orginally wrote this, I completely forgot about USC – Clemson even though the game was going on when I wrote it. I had even just checked the score! So I’m fixing that now. There was an ACC – SEC Challenge today. Of sorts. By pure coincedence, there were four…

Washington State was outscored today by The Naval Academy 42-29. The real problem for the Cougars, is that they were playing basketball against Oklahoma State (who scored 81), while Navy was plaining football against Army. 29 points. That my friends, is pitiful. Actually, I think they’d need to play better to reach pitiful. The halftime…

Texas basketball has a freshman named Mike Williams who was rated among the top 20 recruits in the country last year. Unfortunately, he apparently took some illegal benefits from his AAU coach (who didn’t?) and is being held out by the NCAA. The Longhorns think the NCAA is taking too damn long to deliver a…

You wouldn’t think that UConn coach Jim Calhoun, he of the two national titles, would be learning coaching tips from Virginia’s Pete Gillen, he of the two postseason wins, but apparently he did. Calhoun called a timeout nine seconds into UConn’s win over Florida International. Nine seconds. Rumor has it Gillen was irate and plans…

Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Other than one egregious example, that ACC kicked the crap out of the Big Ten yet again in the “Challenge.” Other than the one-sidedness of the “challenge,” which really surprised no one (and that says it all), the big shocker was just how badly Wake Forest was beaten. Illinois…

Lost in the hype of the then-impending ACC – Big Ten challenge, I forgot to post about a remarkable game down in south Florida. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that Miami nearly lost to Wofford at home and then did lose at home to South Carolina State. Not really a…

A very nice start by the ACC, no? Of course, it could have been better, but Wisconsin played by far their best game of the year in beating Maryland. The Badgers played some very tough defense (as they always do) and the Terps missed the front ends of two critical one-and-ones in the last couple…

I never meant to turn this into the Virginia Bowl Blog, but damn if this story doesn’t keep changing. I hate to post stuff that’s inaccurate, so since I said it looked like UVA was going to the Independence Bowl, I feel I need to correct it. Last night, UVA announced that they had accepted…

update: Nevermind. Check this post instead. As I wrote about yesterday, Virginia’s decision not to play in the Champs Sports Bowl, or any other bowl during exams, made a mess of the ACC bowl selections. The Champs Bowl didn’t want Georgia Tech (the only other ACC school they had to pick from and the MPC…
