Duke’s Wendell Moore eagerly awaits his sophomore basketball season while two of his classmates prepare for the Nov. 18 NBA draft as one-and-dones along with a third teammate that left school early, Tre Jones. They’re about to become instant millionaires, but Moore isn’t envious. If the 6-foot-5, 216-pounder guard/forward, who was an Academic All-ACC selection …

Cedrick Cunningham explained how West Point recruited a guy that knew little about service academy football. In exchange for a chance to play Division I college football, he committed to serve as a future officer during an endless war on terrorism. It’s not your stereotypical West Point story of son or daughter following their father …

This year’s Army-Air Force game might end up with a singular stage it deserves similar to the historic Army-Navy Game reserved for the final Saturday of the regular season, but Army coach Jeff Monken doesn’t like how the circumstances are playing out. The Air Force-Army game that was scheduled for last Saturday at West Point …

2020 has been a weird year for everyone, for lots of reasons. And it has certainly thrown the Eliminator for a loop. I’m sure, when Selection Sunday comes, it will provide a unique and odd set of circumstances for the selection committee also. This week, I want to discuss what to do with the Pac …

Since early in the year, it’s been obvious that there would likely be one of the four College Football Playoff bids up for grabs. The SEC is almost certainly getting a bid. The ACC is almost certainly getting a bid–we had assumed that one would be Clemson, but now Notre Dame has the inside track. …

Everyone is going to read that headline and say that I am overreacting. I have not come to this conclusion lightly. I will explain how I have come to this conclusion throughout this post. I dove into the results and what I found was concerning. First off, I want to say this. I like Dave …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. In such a weird season ACC football is nearing the end of their regular season while the Big 10 and Pac 12 are just getting started. I highly doubt that we see any coaching dismissals with the financial constraints brought on by COVID-19. That doesn’t mean the frustration of fans …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. Wow just wow… Virginia Tech fans have to be irate with the coaching debacle that ended in a nightmare loss to the Liberty flames. Judging by the reaction, that’s exactly what they are too. First tied at 35 a piece… The Liberty kicker attempted a 59 yard kick that Virginia …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. It’s seem strange that a top 15 ranked Miami team is under the radar, but that’s where they are. They shouldn’t be. Miami got outclassed in their biggest matchup of the season when they lost 42-17 Clemson. Clemson is just another level, and that overshadows what’s happening with the Hurricanes …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. North Carolina football climbed to No. 5 in the national rankings with a surprising 3-0 start, while across the Triangle Duke’s promising opener in a narrow loss at Notre Dame quickly fizzled to 0-4. That was a month ago, but it turns out the two ACC schools weren’t as far …

It’s not often as a sportswriter offers a suggestion and a football coach agrees it’s good idea. Yet, that’s what I’m pleased to report I heard from Air Force coach Troy Calhoun on Tuesday during a Zoom call. The Army-Navy Game, with its 120-year history, has historically owned the stage as college football’s final regular …
