Whatever is in the water in Northern Ireland, I want to know, because that now gives them 3 of the last 5 major winners. Graeme Mcdowell won the 2010 U.S Open, Rory Mcilory won the 2011 U.S Open and now Darren Clarke has won the 2011 British Open. Clarke is a very deserving champion. He’s …

Who says there can’t be an exciting major without you know who. 71 golfers made the cut at the British Open and every single one of them can still win this year’s third major. Only 7 shots separate the entire field at the Halfway point. That’s right not one player remaining should think they are …

A few days ago I wrote that there seemed to be a real lack of good news in sports. In fact most of the news was frustrating, and some cases even downright tragic. I’m not a soccer fan, and I don’t admit to being one, but I know when I’ve seen something special. When the …

Not only “is” he on fire recruiting, he’s been on fire and its been that way since he became the Clemson head coach in late 2008. According cutigers.com, in 2009 he signed 6 players rated 4 stars or better. In 2010 he signed 5 players …

I’m going to rank the coaches on who I think are the “best” coaches in the ACC and even if they haven’t coached an ACC game I have an opinion. It’s still only July and I’m itching for some football. As I look at the list, I feel like top to bottom the ACC finally has …

Tiger Woods will be missing another of golf’s majors. His knee injury has kept him out of the U.S Open and now the British Open. With Woods stuck at 14 majors since 2008, we are starting to gain a greater appreciation of Jack Nicklaus ‘s record of 18 major champions. You need to be a great …

Ohio St. vacates their 2010 football wins. The NCAA places West Virginia on 2 years probation for violations involving the football program. Oregon looks to be next and North Carolina’s football program might follow. I’m starting to wonder which college football teams won’t be investigated by the NCAA in the next 6 months. The NBA …
