Sometimes there are moments and games at the end of a great coach’s career where it just feels like the end. When Bobby Bowden Florida State lost 30-0 at home to Wake Forest in 2006, that really felt like the end of the Bowden era at FSU. Bobby Bowden didn’t retire until 2009, but that …

Lazy Narrative on ACC Basketball hurting national perception.
Have you heard? ACC Basketball is so bad this year. It should be a 3 bid league. Its conference ranking looks more like a mid-major. It’s trash. It’s garbage. Last year we heard the same narrative as the ACC went on to dominate the NCAA tournament with 3 Elite 8 teams, 2 Final Four teams, …

Loss to Louisville is why Clemson fans remain skeptical of Brad Brownell
When you think Brad Brownell’s seat it’s at its hottest, he starts winning. When he starts putting something substantial together, then he starts losing. It’s the cycle of Brad Brownell at Clemson. He usually wins just enough to not fire, but is too bad to ever trust. Earlier this year we wrote how Brownell came …

Credit to Mike Young for the @HokiesMBB Defensive Turnaround
Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans.

Today, the Hokies turned it around against the first place team in …
