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. When you are Clemson fan and live South Carolina like me your biggest rival are those South Carolina Gamecocks. Now I’m not taking anything away from South …

Recently I took a look at the two 4 Team playoff formats, conference champions or 4 team playoffs. I concluded that in either scenario if you simply win games you’ll have a shot at the playoff. Now I want to go through those same rankings and look at it from ACC football perspective. I had started writing …

We’ve heard it all the last few weeks… What’s going to be playoff format? The Big 12 and SEC want the top 4 teams. The Pac 12, Big 10, ACC want the conference champs. I decided to take at both formats over in the BCS era; to find out is there really that much of …

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 can’t say I’m the biggest NBA fan, but about late May I really start paying attention. We are down to the Final 4 teams, Oklahoma City/San Antonio and Miami/Boston. Who do you want to see play in the NBA Finals? I think any potential would result in a fine Finals. You want the veteran …

This is it. I’ve had enough. I’m taking a stand on the only site I can control this one. These are going to be my last thoughts on conference expansion, until someone actually signs some papers. Between May 6-18 when I was actively discussing the topic my blog picked up more traffic than I ever …

Can I find 6 articles in the ACC Blogosphere not speculating on expansion? Probably not… but I found this kind of humourous at BCInterruption. If all the movement rumors playout as some predict, Boston College stands to make over $50 Million in Exit Fees. They might help some teams pack! Tigernet has an interview with …

Friday I said the next 6 weeks will shape College Football’s future and I want to follow-up on a couple of topics. When the Big 12/SEC announced their new bowl game for their teams that don’t make the 4-team playoff, it created a huge positive buzz for both conferences nationally. It was a great PR move. There …

Friday an announcement that sent shockwaves across the collegiate landscape. The SEC and Big 12 agreed if their champions weren’t in the 4 team playoff that they would play each other in a bowl game. That may not be the Sugar Bowl, but I’m guessing it will be. This mirrors the deal between the Pac 12 and Big …
