When Florida State entered the ACC in 1992, they immediately became the league bully, taking the other teams’ lunch money and stuffing them in lockers. For the first four years, they didn’t lose a conference game, and very few were even close. Finally, in 1995, Virginia broke through, beating the Seminoles in a thrilling Thursday…

Check out this video from a Canadian dunk contest. Good lord. Dunk contests have gotten pretty stale for me, but that was one impressive display. The last dunk in particular is just sick.

It seems like every team in the ACC has had at least one Eastern European player. Every team except Duke that is. Looks like that’s gonna change next year as Duke just got a commitment from little-known recruit Martynas Pocius. Although he isn’t well-known, you can bet that he’s pretty good and Duke feels like…

When Tony Kornheiser is on his game, he’s as good and funny a sportswriter as there is. In today’s article, he’s on. Give it a read. Side note: Did you see that “fight” between the Wizards and Bulls? What a joke. It started when Larry Hughes commited a horrible cheap shot by pushing Kirk Hinrich…
