We’ve heard it all the last few weeks… What’s going to be playoff format? The Big 12 and SEC want the top 4 teams. The Pac 12, Big 10, ACC want the conference champs. I decided to take at both formats over in the BCS era; to find out is there really that much of …

Retire The Fighting Sioux Logo
This is a topic near and dear to blog contributor @HokieGuru. Read his piece on University of North Dakota. Many of you know that I attended graduate school at Virginia Tech, but what many of you do not know is that I’m from the State of North Dakota. I attended the University of North Dakota (UND) for a …

Which NBA Finals Matchup do you want to see?

My final thoughts on the Big 12/ACC expansion topic.
This is it. I’ve had enough. I’m taking a stand on the only site I can control this one. These are going to be my last thoughts on conference expansion, until someone actually signs some papers. Between May 6-18 when I was actively discussing the topic my blog picked up more traffic than I ever …

Articles from around the ACC Blogosphere May 21, 2012
Can I find 6 articles in the ACC Blogosphere not speculating on expansion? Probably not… but I found this kind of humourous at BCInterruption. If all the movement rumors playout as some predict, Boston College stands to make over $50 Million in Exit Fees. They might help some teams pack! Tigernet has an interview with …

Friday I said the next 6 weeks will shape College Football’s future and I want to follow-up on a couple of topics.

Next 6 weeks will shape College Football’s future.
Friday an announcement that sent shockwaves across the collegiate landscape. The SEC and Big 12 agreed if their champions weren’t in the 4 team playoff that they would play each other in a bowl game. That may not be the Sugar Bowl, but I’m guessing it will be. This mirrors the deal between the Pac 12 and Big …

I’ve obviously been following the Florida State Big 12 story with alot of interest. I would prefer the ACC stays together, but I’m not here to discuss the merits of why FSU and by extension why Clemson or anyone should stay.
