Please stop talking about rushing the basketball court after a big college hoops win. Absolutely, I can understand the safety concerns that university and law enforcement officials have (as well as fans) about rushing the court. But – there should be no rules regarding the rush of the court in the sense that a certain win …

I had a chance to finally sit down and really look at the ACC’s recently released 2013 football schedule. There’s new additions Pittsburgh and Syracuse plus a very ambitious non-conference slate. This will be a two part series where I go through what I like and I don’t like about the ACC schedule this season. Out of Conference …

I tell you what, I’m looking forward to this game between Miami and Duke. I know the Blue Devils are coming off a loss to Virginia, but give credit to a Cavalier team that should be a NCAA team, and their ACC POY candidate Joe Harris. That game said more about how good Virginia is …

Clemson vs FSU later in the season and cupcakes the week before SEC in-state rivals are good moves.

I think it’s a good time for poll… As I said earlier this week, it looks like Maryland and Virginia will flip-flop for that 5th ACC NCAA position for the rest of the season. The other 4 spots Miami, Duke, UNC, and NC State look pretty safe. Who do you think will make it, Maryland or …
