The Virginia Cavaliers prove their resiliency by taking the College Baseball Title.
One word comes to my mind when I think this year’s Virginia Cavalier baseball team – RESILIENT. Shortly after the 1st inning ended yesterday in the series deciding UVA/Vanderbilt game I tweeted this out. It is early, but that first inning feels like it decided the game… #CWS2015 — Jeff or Jeffrey Fann (@TalkinACCSports) June …

Virginia you are our only hope… For any ACC baseball fan (except Wake Forest) hearing about ACC baseball title drought has become a source of annoyance.

Final Thoughts on the 2015 U.S. Open : Jordan Spieth just won his 2nd major faster than Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus.

ACCPrescription looked at how the ACC got a poor football reputation that only in recent years has improved. ACC Prescription correctly identifies the 2003-2011 seasons as a low point era for ACC football. The ACC won just 1 BCS game during …
