Back in 2016 ACC football had a magical year across the board. It was the best football conference in the land. We asked on the blog could the ACC remain at the top of college football? The sky was the limit for where ACC could go. Since then the conference has largely face-planted. Check out …

Last week we wrote about Clemson getting red-hot on the recruiting trail. You thought Dabo Swinney was going to let Tiger recruiting slip after a few coaches departed. Clemson is a national brand now. Clemson isn’t the only ACC team off to a strong summer of recruiting. Louisville is tearing it up too landing arguably the …

Army football coach Jeff Monken appeared on a Zoom call not long ago to talk about the Black Knights’ spring game, so I jumped on it.

The Name, Image and Likeness one-year anniversary is upon us.
