The Hartford Courant is reporting that the ACC has a model for expansion with the additions Notre Dame and UCONN. Now way back in September I wrote that the ACC shouldn’t expand beyond the soon to be 14 teams, unless that is Notre Dame joins and brings a partner. At the time I didn’t ask …

I like to watch golf. I’m not every an every weekend golf fan, but I know the players. I normally watch the majors and some of the bigger golf events. I also tune in when Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods are both in contention. Judging by Sunday’s TV ratings, which were CBS’s highest Pebble Beach …

More jockeying for position this week…. How are things shaping with selection Sunday quickly approaching? In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are even …

I’m not a big NBA fan nor do I claim to be. In fact I pretty much don’t pay attention to the NBA until about May when the playoffs start. By that time the college basketball is over and the Masters has just finished. I actually enjoyed the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat NBA Finals …

The ACC’s reputation as a basketball conference is historically unmatched. In the last 25 years, no conference has more national titles or Final 4. That said the conference as a whole has fallen on some lean times when it comes to basketball. Yes the ACC has won 2 of the last 3 national titles, and …

After Eli Manning won his second Super Bowl to move ahead brother Peyton Manning by 1 NFL Championship, there is a simple question that must asked. Who’s better Eli Manning or Peyton Manning? Which brother do you want playing QB for you? If you’re judging by Championships then it has to be Eli. If you’re …

Three weeks ago the ACC looked like a three bid league, now it could be six. We are are long way from things being settled. How is it looking this week? In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside …

The ACC’s new schedule was released Friday. I would say it was met with mixed reviews. Boston College fans seemed to be the most pleased about the new schedules, and why not with the addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh, BC finally has true regional partners. Others though lamented the loss of traditional home and home …

Just a short entry for tonight, but one that has me feeling pretty good. If you read the blog you know a few months ago I mentioned I had been working towards getting more involved with official site of the ACC. Some of the links on the facebook page of the ACC, and ACC Twitter …

Wednesday was National Signing Day… Some ACC teams really helped themselves while others merely just kept treading water. As we all know winning in February doesn’t mean squat come the fall, but like said before I’ll take my top-notch class against your poor one anyday. Winners Florida State, Clemson, Miami, Duke? The first three schools …

Should be a great class for the Noles. Some folks around the Virginia Tech camp think this could be one of the best classes …
