It's Thanksgiving week! And that means it's time to carve a turkey if you catch my drift. But first, the other sports are starting to get exciting too. Today we'll just be talking about soccer and basketball. After that, I'm going to try and cram a whole week's worth of blogging into about two ...

My second season in the fourth circle of football hell is mercifully approaching its unwatchable end. By this time next week, it'll all be ended and I'll more than likely be trying to forget there even is such a thing as football.** To that end I've finished up the Maryland highlights, now ...

Q&A with Block-C
Wednesday again, and that means another look at a potential next head coach. But first, a few articles about the current one. The ACC Sports Journal weighs in, as does Jay Jenkins of the CDP and Doughty in Roanoke . Two games left means it's time for the media to start writing the postmortems. ...

This time around, Block-C is hosting; you may
recognize them as this week's trading partner of questions
related to Saturday's game (although such recognition may be difficult as that hasn't happened yet.) Also, bulletized thoughts on last night's USF ...

ACC roundtable
So, while we wait for the NCAA to get back to us with the soccer bracket, a little celebration is in order for our ACC champion soccer team. I wish they would have ever put any of these games on TV. Seems like the sort of thing that ESPNU was invented for, but what do I know? I guess more people ...

Toward the end there, I was really starting to want that game. Obviously, you want the win; as a bonus, it would have knocked Boston College mathematically out of the ACCCG, which, sorry BC fans, but a third straight BC trip to that game would be awful for the conference. So there was a nice ...

Was going to get to this one last week, but a surprise verbal commitment got in the way. Don't you hate when that happens? No? Kevin Sumlin Main qualification: Doing great things at Houston. Resume: 1988-1990: Washington State (grad asst.) 1991-1992: Wyoming (WR) 1993-1997: Minnesota (WR ...

Yesterday, obviously, was part one . If you missed it, we're going player by player and trying to figure out what to expect from them. We'll do that, and then a rough sketch of what I expect from this season. And we left off with: #15 - Sylven Landesberg Best-case scenario : Develops jump ...

And that is a blessing and a half. Our season doesn't actually open up til Friday, but in symbolic celebration, I'm once again eschewing the usual weekend review, which is typically very football-heavy, in favor of a leetle something I've been tossing around in my head for a while. (Though I did ...

So, in the middle of watching our putrid offense fumblefuck its way to another big loss, I had two minor epiphanies. I watched a ton of Jeopardy growing up and still enjoy it, so they came to me in the form of questions. The second I'll get to in a bit. The first was this: - When's the last ...
