I’m originally from Georgia and lived in Atlanta for the better part of 4 1/2 years so I had some hometown loyalty to the Atlanta Falcons. New England would have been fun, because there would have …

ACC Bubble Analysis for January 28, 2013
This week was defiantly the toughest ACC Bubble Analysis yet. Is Duke still a number 1 seed? Should Miami be ahead of them? Does the ACC deserve 3,4,5 or 6 Bids if the selections were this week? In my ranking system, any RPIw top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any …

What? A Big 12 ACC alliance in the works? Just as we all didn’t expect.
There’s a reason I stay away from rampant speculation about conference realignment. Do you want to know that reason? It’s because 99.5% of the rumors you hear aren’t close to actual reality.

Finally I have some to to sit and take a closer look at the recent announcement that the ACC was going study the viability to start their own television network.

I’m just not all that interested in Lance Armstrong or Manti Te’o…
I’m guessing the first thing you’re wondering is why am I talking about Lance Armstrong or Manti Te’o if I’m not that interested them. Well these are still significant news stories, that I do have opinion on, but I haven’t spent that much time following each new release of information. I’m not going to be …
