I’m sure you know by now that former Virginia Tech assistant James Johnson has been named the new head coach for the Hokies. That said it’s a good time to look back on the tenure of former head man Seth Greenberg. Our resident Virginia Tech expert @HokieGuru does just that in a well-written personal account on the legacy …

The big news this week is the firing of Seth Greenberg at Virginia Tech. That means we have to check in with Hokie blogger GobblerCountry. Whether you agree with the firingor not GobblerCountry says the “how” the termination was done was inexcusable. When your rivals at Virginia blog Streaking the Lawn are saying basically the same thing, …

Nobody follows Virginia Tech sports like our contributing writer @HokieGuru. Later this week he will write an in depth article discussing the firing Hokie basketball coach Seth Greenberg. As an outsider to the program, I have a few thoughts on what happened today. I know Virginia Tech AD Jim Weaver said it had nothing to …

You’d think in mid to late April we’d be running a little short of things to talk about in the ACC. Nope… we got spring football, basketball articles, and a story on one terrible day 5 years ago. OK let’s get into what the ACC bloggers have got going on. Tomahawk nation says use Florida …

Sorry just a short post for tonight… Had some things going on this weekend that kept me from following the sports world the way I normally do. That said we’ll resume regular blogging tomorrow. In the meantime there were several ACC Spring games played on Saturday. You can check out a summary of the games at theACC.com’s …

I don’t think anyone will argue that the upcoming deal is very important to the future of the ACC, but I believe it’s more than just important. It might just mean entire future of the ACC as we currently know it. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, recently I had a lively conversation …

Recently 2 of the nation’s top recruits Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel made their college choices known. Muhammad is headed to UCLA and Noel to Kentucky. That means 91 of the top 100 high school basketball players have made their college choice. Here is the top 100 list from CNNSI. Even in the one and done era you win with talent. …

I’m kind of Petrinoed out at the moment. I think the rest of internet has it pretty well covered. Bold move by Arkansas, it showed that some schools are more interested in the integrity of their programs than just winning footballs games. Now ask the question again if the Razorbacks go 7-6. I don’t envy Arkansas’s AD Jeff Long… he …

BCInterruption discusses the Eagle’s coach Jerry York and his legacy in Boston sports in an interesting piece. ShakintheSouthland gives an in depth season review of Clemson’s basketball season. I think Brad Brownell did a credible job …

Kentucky’s recent national championship victory raised some questions about just how good was this Wildcat team. Could they beat the 2003 Connecticut team featuring Emeka Okafor or the Tyler Hansbrough led 2009 North Carolina team? Certainly Anthony Davis is one of the best freshman defensive big men I’ve ever seen. Of course we’ll never know …

After Kentucky’s national title victory Monday night, I was curious how that Wildcat team stacked up against the last few National Title teams. That’s taking me a little time to go through and write. In the meantime, I’ve got some Way too Early Pre-Season College Basketball Rankings for you to take a look at. I …

So I guess everyone saw Kentucky win the national title Monday night. I’m not a John Calipari fan, but Anthony Davis is the best defensive big man in over a decade. Congratulations to Kentucky on a well deserved title. Ok time to see what’s happening with the bloggers of the ACC. TarHeelFan blog updates us …

This year the Final 4 will be made up with 4 schools from traditional major-conferences. We have College Basketball BlueBloods Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas and Ohio State. There is not a George Mason, Butler or VCU this year. In fact there weren’t any mid-majors in the Elite 8, and only 2 (Ohio and Xavier) in the …

There was a hiring move this week that frankly floored me and that I think has farther reaching implications than may appear on the surface. Implications that I discussed with FSU Fan @saintwarrick and Georgia Tech fan @younglefhander on twitter. South Carolina lured away Kansas State head basketball coach Frank Martin to coach in Columbia. …

Let’s get right to what our bloggers are saying. TarHeelFanBlog gives love to a UNC team that made it to the Elite 8 despite multiple injuries. When …
