The 2012 NFL draft is in the books. There were 31 ACC players picked. Over the last few years we’ve heard certain myths regarding offenses, general talent level and recruiting that this year’s NFL draft opened some eyes about.

The big news this week is the firing of Seth Greenberg at Virginia Tech. That means we have to check in with Hokie blogger GobblerCountry. Whether you agree with the firingor not GobblerCountry says the “how” the termination was done was inexcusable. When your rivals at Virginia blog Streaking the Lawn are saying basically the same thing, …

Nobody follows Virginia Tech sports like our contributing writer @HokieGuru. Later this week he will write an in depth article discussing the firing Hokie basketball coach Seth Greenberg.

Before the Clemson’s Sammy Watkins made a splash last year as a the nation’s best freshman wide receiver, the Tigers had another talented wide receiver on their roster, DeAndre Hopkins.

Now I’ll be ranking the ACC positions on offense and defense in addition to running backs later this summer.

I’m kind of Petrinoed out at the moment. I think the rest of internet has it pretty well covered. Bold move by Arkansas, it showed that some schools are more interested in the integrity of their programs than just winning footballs games. Now ask the question again if the Razorbacks go 7-6.
