Glory’s Last Shot… that what they call the Golf’s 4th and final major. I know there’s the FedEx cup and such, but for me the PGA Championship marks the end of the golf season. Winning the year’s last major, can turnaround a poor season or make a mediocre one great. This year’s event is being …

Ah it’s the opening weekend of the Olympics… USA! USA! USA! The Olympics are always fun to watch, and for me they’ll bridge the gap to football season. Anyways there was quite a lot of complaining on twitter today about the coverage by NBC. There was tape delay of some of the premier events like …

I’m feeling pretty smart right about now. I think I said as part of the British Open preview here to keep an eye on Ernie Els. Then he goes out and wins the whole darn thing for his 4th career major. Els’s recent putting struggles have been well documented. His career even with 3 previous majors …

Remember when it seemed like everyone was wondering what was wrong with American golf? Who were the young stars that were going to fill in as Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods got a little older? I think we can safely say now we don’t have to wonder anymore. With the emergence of Rickie Fowler, Keegan …

The toughest major in golf is this week, the U.S Open. It is being held at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, CA. That will be the first time the event will be held there since 1998. Tiger Woods only had 1 major title at that time that’s how long ago it was. This will …

Just a short entry for tonight. With N.C. State and Florida State readying for their Super Regional matchups with Florida and Stanford, what better way to get prepared for the weekend’s game than a couple of previews from the ACC Digital Network?

What’s pretty much the worst thing that can happen to you as a sports fan? You know what is… It’s losing to closest most hated rival at anything.

This is a topic near and dear to blog contributor @HokieGuru. Read his piece on University of North Dakota. Many of you know that I attended graduate school at Virginia Tech, but what many of you do not know is that I’m from the State of North Dakota. I attended the University of North Dakota (UND) for a …

I debated putting Bubba Watson on my list of the top 10 Master’s contenders. I even mentioned him, but I figured his short game would be too erratic to close the deal. I was wrong as Watson produced and emotional and popular playoff victory over South African Louie Oosthuizen. So what are my final thought …

Well Boston College took home the National Title tonight with 4-1 victory over Ferris State. For that Congratulations to the Boston College Eagles and their fans! Now …
