I don’t think anyone will argue that the upcoming deal is very important to the future of the ACC, but I believe it’s more than just important. It might just mean entire future of the ACC as we currently know it. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, recently I had a lively conversation …

That means 91 of the top 100 high school basketball players have made their college choice. Here is the top 100 list from CNNSI. Even in the one and done era you win with talent. …

I’m kind of Petrinoed out at the moment. I think the rest of internet has it pretty well covered. Bold move by Arkansas, it showed that some schools are more interested in the integrity of their programs than just winning footballs games. Now ask the question again if the Razorbacks go 7-6. I don’t envy Arkansas’s AD Jeff Long… he …

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 …

Kentucky’s recent national championship victory raised some questions about just how good was this Wildcat team. Could they beat the 2003 Connecticut team featuring Emeka Okafor or the Tyler Hansbrough led 2009 North Carolina team? Certainly Anthony Davis is one of the best freshman defensive big men I’ve ever seen. Of course we’ll never know …

Recently the Atlanta Journal Constitution discussed the quarterback competition at Georgia Tech between the incumbent Tevin Washington, and backups Synjyn Days, and Vad Lee. Competition is never a bad thing, but this has created a real dilemma for Paul Johnson. Johnson isn’t on any hotseat, but there is a little restlessness among the Yellow Jacket …

After Kentucky’s national title victory Monday night, I was curious how that Wildcat team stacked up against the last few National Title teams. That’s taking me a little time to go through and write. In the meantime, I’ve got some Way too Early Pre-Season College Basketball Rankings for you to take a look at. I …

The three biggest names in golf Rory Mcilory, Tiger Woods, and Phil Mickelson are all playing well at the same time. These are the only three golfers in the world that can move the needle just by showing up, and they all have their games peaking at the right time. This will be the most …

Not too long ago we went through the Athlon Sports Ranking of the ACC Coaches. These were rankings in large part I didn’t agree with. Some of the comments I had there I’ll elaborate on now when I rank the ACC coaches for a little spring football reading. 1. Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech What I …

This year the Final 4 will be made up with 4 schools from traditional major-conferences. We have College Basketball BlueBloods Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas and Ohio State. There is not a George Mason, Butler or VCU this year. In fact there weren’t any mid-majors in the Elite 8, and only 2 (Ohio and Xavier) in the …

There was a hiring move this week that frankly floored me and that I think has farther reaching implications than may appear on the surface. Implications that I discussed with FSU Fan @saintwarrick and Georgia Tech fan @younglefhander on twitter. South Carolina lured away Kansas State head basketball coach Frank Martin to coach in Columbia. …

Let’s get right to what our bloggers are saying. TarHeelFanBlog gives love to a UNC team that made it to the Elite 8 despite multiple injuries. When …
