This is something I’ve been wondering about. The U.S. Men’s soccer team had a great run in the World Cup. They made it out of a brutal group, and had their chances to beat Belgium Tuesday. I’m not a soccer fan. I don’t know a thing about it. I played one year of youth …

Teel did a great job asking Swofford questions that many of us interested in the business side of the conference wanted to know about. Swofford will tend to keep things close to the vest, hence his nickname the “Ninja” …

Wednesday night continued one of the most bizarre streaks in college sports. When Vanderbilt defeated Virginia in Game 3 of their series, the ACC’s streak of 59 straight years without a NCAA baseball title continued. Frankly this is an astonishing streak, considering the quality of baseball played in the ACC. That would be more than …

This will be a short post for tonight, because there’s only one story at the moment in the ACC. That is the Virginia Cavaliers. The Hoos are looking to make some history on a couple of fronts.

On July 1, 2014, the Louisville Cardinals will officially join the ACC. At the same time Maryland will pack up and head to the Big 10. It seems for the most part Big 10 fans are lukewarm to the idea of Maryland and Rutgers joining their conference. In contrast ACC fans appear to be really …

We are looking at offensive linemen now, and I can’t remember a unit as loaded as the Florida State offensive line. I’ve never had 3 players from one team make the 5 best players in a particular unit ranking. This group is considered the top offensive line unit in the country, and now you are …
