Loyola Chicago’s run to the Final 4 means the College Football Playoffs should expand. Over and over and I see this all over twitter.

Florida State basketball under Leonard Hamilton has always been an enigma. They were often talented, but considered in some circles to be underachieving as a program overall. Leonard Hamilton was a polarizing coaching figure for Seminole fans – hence the #FireHam hashtag. My blog partner @Hokiesmash_ASD frequently tells Florida State fans to appreciate just what a …

If I told you at the beginning of the season I told the sane NC State fan that NC State was going to make the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the fan would be ecstatic. If I told that same fan that Omer Yurtseven would make the All-ACC 3rd team and average 13 points and 7 …

I was one. I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sure if Brad Brownell was ever going to get Clemson back to the NCAAs. Sure we all thought he could coach, but could he ever assemble a team that could contend in the ACC and make a run in March? The answer is a resounding YES. After …

I couldn’t embed this tweet due to the nature of the language used by Mr. Cody McClure. I had to delete a particular letter in this tweet for public consumption. This is who Mr. McClure has obscenities for – A 98 year old nun for Loyola Chicago who beat Tennessee on a last second shot …

The ACC has nine teams in the 2018 NCAA Tournament, and three (Virginia, Duke, UNC) are among the favorites to win the national championship. Do any of the other six have a viable chance to make a Cinderella run to the title? The odds from the major sportsbooks say no, with Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami, NC State, …
