Today Virginia’s Tony Bennett’s signed a new 7-year deal to continue to coach the Cavalier basketball team. A couple of weeks ago Clemson inked a 6 year deal with their head basketball coach Brad Brownell. Let me be clear about one thing. I think both of these guys are rock solid head coaches. When it comes to …

SouthernPigskin had an article today titled ” Is Paul Johnson Bad for the ACC “. It was an interesting, but flawed piece. The author’s premise is that for the ACC to catch the SEC in football they need to start winning more recruiting battles in the state of Georgia. Paul Johnson as the head coach …

An interesting article that comes from the dean of ACC journalists David Teel of the Daily Press. Teel looks back on the past decade since the ACC started first expansion moves in 2003-2004. Which ACC athletics program has the most conference titles? I think most would assume Florida State, but even with 44 conference titles …

Site contributor @HokieSmash forwarded this press release from the ACC. Will this finally be the year the ACC can win an ACC baseball for the first time since 1955? It’s one of the strangest streaks in college sports, because the quality of ACC baseball as a whole over the years. GREENSBORO, N.C. – Seven Atlantic …

Maryland is leaving for the Big 10 and that’s inevitable. Louisville is joining the ACC, and that’s obviously inevitable too. College athletics will go on, and everybody will adjust. As I was watching Georgia Tech and Maryland play today, one thought came to mind seeing the Maryland fans in attendance. Greensboro, NC is a whole …

Every once I have to completely put my fan boy hat on. Sunday I had to do that, when Georgia Tech won the ACC baseball title. I’m not big on the pool play format, but the Yellow Jackets went 4-1 during the tournament and deserved the title. I’m a Georgia Tech alum, and if you …

This will be a short post, but something has caught my eye with the events of the last few months. When you think of the top athletics program in the ACC, it’s hard to argue that Florida State isn’t leading the way. The Seminoles won a national title in football. Their women’s softball team has …

Thanks to @HokieSmash for this press release from the ACC. Congratulations to these two great ACC players! As a Georgia Tech grad, Joe Hamilton is my favorite Yellow Jacket of all time.

Interesting report from CBSSports’ Jeremy Fowler… He reported today that the ACC-SEC could be on their way to an informal scheduling agreement. “The ACC and SEC have created a de facto partnership as the lone power conferences to maintain an eight-game scheduling model entering the College Football Playoff.” This clearly means the ACC and SEC …
