Good afternoon – I’m going to step out of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) here – and talk briefly about Georgetown University Hoyas Men’s Basketball (I’m a Georgetown alumnus – so I will tweet about the Hoyas from time to time). II went to the game on Saturday night, January 30, 2016 at the Verizon …

We’ve been wondering for awhile when the Cable Sports Bubble was going to burst. There have been concerning numbers from ESPN for awhile. Now we are hearing reports about the Los Angeles Clippers disappointing TV rights offer from Fox. This is from the site Forbes.Com. Last September, Fox reportedly offered a $60 million a year deal for the …

Alright, now that the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared, we have our Super Bowl winners: the Denver Broncos. Congratulations to Peyton Manning and company, and as my colleague @TalkinACCSports said, Manning owes Von Miller and that Broncos defense dinner. The Broncos defense sacked Cam Newton six times and forced 4 turnovers, including …

Just a short post following Denver’s Super Bowl win… Peyton Manning is likely going to call it a career after winning his 2nd Super Bowl. He didn’t play especially well. Manning was just 13 for 23 for 141 yards with 2 Turnovers, but he doesn’t have to apologize for anything. He is a Super Bowl …

We have some major shifting in this week’s bubble analysis. This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win …

As we get into the 2nd half of conference basketball, we have our annual edition of coaching candidates to replace Brian Gregory at Georgia Tech. We go back to exactly 1 year ago for last year’s possible coaching candidates to replace Brian Gregory, and his 21-59 ACC record. 2 years ago we said Brian Gregory had …

Sometimes even really smart people make mistakes. The Louisville administration made one Friday. Gary Parrish of CBSSportsline nails it in his article Louisville selfishly punishes seniors by self-imposing late postseason ban. From that article… Any postseason ban, I think, should always be for the subsequent season once a semester begins, that way goals and dreams …

One thing like I about the Louisville Athletic’s Department is that it is obviously well run by their AD Tom Jurich. The Cardinal’s recent announcement of their fundraising effort for their stadium expansion is just another example of this. I think the emphasis on corporate sponsors is a smart move by Louisville as well. …

Here’s a sobering thought if you’re an ACC football team not named Florida State or Clemson, no matter how good you think your recruiting class was theirs was better, a lot better. The ACC had 9 top 100 Scout.Com players. They all went to Florida State or Clemson. There were 4 Five Star players for …
