You know what week it is… It’s North Carolina and Duke on Wednesday night in Chapel Hill. Growing up this is one of the first sports rivalries I can remember really following. This game has had it all over the years. Hall of fame coaches, All-America players, top 10 teams and yea they are just …

Three weeks ago the ACC looked like a three bid league, now it could be six. We are are long way from things being settled. How is it looking this week? In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside …

The ACC’s new schedule was released Friday. I would say it was met with mixed reviews. Boston College fans seemed to be the most pleased about the new schedules, and why not with the addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh, BC finally has true regional partners. Others though lamented the loss of traditional home and home …

Just a short entry for tonight, but one that has me feeling pretty good. If you read the blog you know a few months ago I mentioned I had been working towards getting more involved with official site of the ACC. Some of the links on the facebook page of the ACC, and ACC Twitter …

Wednesday was National Signing Day… Some ACC teams really helped themselves while others merely just kept treading water. As we all know winning in February doesn’t mean squat come the fall, but like said before I’ll take my top-notch class against your poor one anyday. Winners Florida State, Clemson, Miami, Duke? The first three schools …

Do you realize there’s only a bit more than month until selection Sunday. If you’re going to make a move you better make it soon. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered …

National Signing Day is this Wednesday. You bring in a new recruiting class, everything and anything is possible because you don’t know who might be an All-American and who might be bust. We all know recruiting is an inexact science. Kids looking great in HS doesn’t always translate to collegiate success. Coaches coach players up …

Simple and to the point poll. After the Heels got humiliated at FSU, they’ve won two games in row over Virginia Tech and NC State by double digits. I have my opinion, but I’m asking the reader have the Heels turned the corner and become the team many thought they could be? Has North Carolina …

For you young folks out there, that have watched ACC basketball the last 7-8 years, it wasn’t always Duke, UNC and one other team that was pretty good that year. Years ago the conference ran 6-8 really quality teams deep. Every game was a war, and every game had ACC Title and NCAA implications. This …

The Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels came into this season as the prohibitive favorites to win the ACC. Sure Virginia has played pretty well. The Cavaliers even nearly won at Duke, but I’m not sure anyone was considering them a threat to win the ACC just yet. Florida State had a monster …

If the next month and half are going to be anything like this past week, it’s going to a wild ride in the ACC this year. The ACC is going to fluctuate from having as few 3 NCAA teams to maybe having as many 6 depending on that week’s result. Mid-Week I was looking at …
