Brian Barbour on November 27th, 2006 |  Comments are closed Basketball ready to take center stage in the ACC… Saturday Miami won again beating Lafeyette 98-66. Frank Haith obviously got the “message” Paul Dee was sending when he fired Larry Coker Boston College got back to winning by finding someone in New England they could beat taking out Rhode Island 86-68. Wake Forest keeps winning [...] Continue reading ACC Basketball Update(11/27) They always say famous deaths happen in threes. Apparently that is true of firing coaches in the ACC. According to Andrew Jones at the Wilmington Star and 850 the Buzz, NC State is set to announce via press release that Chuck Amato will not be retained as head coach of the Wolfpack following the 21-16 [...] Continue reading Sources: NC State Fires Chuck Amato [UPDATED:10:00 PM] Brian Barbour on November 26th, 2006 | Comments are closed Miami 17 Boston College 14 Miami plays some tough defense for a change and beats BC to get to 6-6. It was not enough to save Larry Coker who did nothing but go 59-15 in six years. Florida 21 Florida State 14 Pretty much a lackluster peformance from the Gators who needed style points to [...] Continue reading ACC Football Week #13: Review Brian Barbour on November 25th, 2006 | Comments are closed Let me set the scene for you. You are ahead by a touchdown with less than three minutes left in the game and facing a 3rd and eight on your own 25 yard line. The opposing team just spent their last timeout so you have two options. 1. Run the ball hoping you can break [...] Continue reading UNC 45 Duke 44 Turkey anyone… I am sure there is some kind of irony to Virginia Tech, whose mascot is the Hokie which I think is some sort of turkey, losing on Thanksgiving night to Western Michigan 71-68. Good thing the gobblers bounced back to beat Montana 77-56. Nothing like early season losses to really confuse everyone. Maryland [...] Continue reading ACC Basketball Update(11/25) Brian Barbour on November 25th, 2006 | Comments are closed Where: Wallace Wade Stadium, Durham, NC When: November 25th, 12:00 PM TV: None Records: UNC 2-9, 1-6 ACC Duke 0-11, 0-7 ACC Two dangers for UNC in this game. 1. Duke does not want to end up 0-12 so they will be playing some inspired football. 2. UNC is coming off a big win with [...] Continue reading UNC at Duke THF’s Take So at least we can talk some of the Tar Heel fans down off the ledge now. UNC dominated the first half to get a 21 point lead and in the second half did not play at the same level to end up with the 13 point win. Tyler Hansbrough had the big [...] Continue reading UNC 101 Tennessee 87 Brian Barbour on November 24th, 2006 | Comments are closed In a surprise to no one Miami fired Larry Coker this morning even though the Canes beat Boston College last night and got to 6-6 for the season. For Coker the season steadily went from bad(suspending Ryan Moore prior to the FSU game) to worse(the loss at Louisville after his team stomped on the Cardinals [...] Continue reading Larry Coker is a Leftover Too Now Brian Barbour on November 24th, 2006 | Comments are closed What: NIT Tip-Off Consolation Game Where: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY When: November 24th, 4:30 PM TV: ESPN Records: UNC 3-1, Tennessee 4-1 Everyone assumed that this would be the NIT title game not the game for third place. Say hello to parity in college basketball coupled with early season kinks. Basically this will [...] Continue reading Tennessee vs UNC Brian Barbour on November 24th, 2006 | Comments are closed High drama this Saturday in the ACC. Besides the rivalry games going on you have Chuck Amato facing almost certain dismissal if NC State loses to ECU(or even if he wins, it still might be over). Also with the Boston College loss to Miami, the Wake Forest vs Maryland game is now a de facto [...] Continue reading BC Loses; Hope Lives in College Park Brian Barbour on November 23rd, 2006 | Comments are closed This being the first loss of the season means everyone is trying to figure out what went wrong for the really talented but inexperienced Tar Heels. Seth Davis at SI.com makes some valid points: So let’s add this to the list of negative things Williams learned about his team Wednesday: Hansbrough could very well be [...] Continue reading More on the Gonzaga Loss Brian Barbour on November 23rd, 2006 | Comments are closed This is the fast, fast version. Boston College 28 Miami 10 Florida 33 Florida State 20 UNC 22 Duke 7 Clemson 38 South Carolina 30 Virginia Tech 29 Virginia 6 Georgia Tech 30 Georgia 27 East Carolina 31 NC State 20 Wake Forest 24 Maryland 20 Wake Forest will win the Atlantic Division and meet [...] Continue reading ACC Football Week #13: Preview |
