Finally I have some to to sit and take a closer look at the recent announcement that the ACC was going study the viability to start their own television network.

I’m guessing the first thing you’re wondering is why am I talking about Lance Armstrong or Manti Te’o if I’m not that interested them. Well these are still significant news stories, that I do have opinion on, but I haven’t spent that much time following each new release of information. I’m not going to be …

I know the final AP and Coaches Polls have been released, but I’m going to give you the correct college football final top 25. Just kidding, only my opinion, but here goes… 1. Alabama (13-1) Even if Notre Dame was overrated, it’s hard to argue this wasn’t the best team in the country after that …

Sometimes SEC conference cheerleading by it’s member fans can shall we say be a bit nauseating, but for most the part I have no problem with it. I’ll root for ACC teams out of conference, especially when it has no bearing on my individual teams. ACC fans tend to be somewhat mixed on this practice. …

Lots of ramifications for both programs …

Lots going on out there… We have bowl games. We have teams positioning themselves for March already. What do the ACC bloggers have to say about it? ShakintheSouthland doesn’t have much confidence in a Clemson victory Monday night. I’d say that’s still due to South Carolina scarring and a very good LSU opponent upcoming… What’s …

Friday night the Virginia Tech Hokies pulled out an ugly 13-10 Russell Athletic Bowl win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. First off if you are a Virginia Tech Hokie player, coach, or fan, you don’t have to apologize for anything. Was the win a thing of beauty? Nope not at all, but the bottom line …
