Mo Fifita is a 6-foot-1, 320-pounder who gets down in the trenches and slugs it out, brawn on brawn. If that means tying up two 300-pound offensive linemen to free up linebackers, so be it. In other words, he was born to play nose tackle. And it doesn’t hurt he has Polynesian bloodlines. Ever since …

DURHAM, N.C. – Fans panic with their lungs or twitter thumbs. The media jumps to conclusions. But Duke coach David Cutcliffe learned long ago to wait for the film to evaluate a football team’s first scrimmage a mere eight days into fall camp. “I promise you nothing is as good as you think it is …

Times don’t always change for the better. Fifty-three years ago, when Jim Crow still plagued the old South, the city of Fayetteville, N.C., demonstrated it was ahead of the times down the slow, painful march to the new South.

Good morning, Atlantic Coast Conference sports fans. Seems like Paul Finebaum, ESPN’s SEC mouthpiece, is talking more about Clemson and Dabo Swinney than he is about the SEC.

Arizona State coach Herm Edwards offered an observation about young athletes, breaking into his familiar belly laugh that fills a room. They view the 1960s as ancient history, he says. “It’s amazing.

Good evening, Hope you are all well – not long until college football starts. I will be blogging tonight about a non-ACC or non-sports topic. I once clocked in at 249 pounds.
