Saturday Open Thread

For the second straight week, there is no Carolina football on a Saturday. And after two weeks of top-10 matchups, this weekend’s college football schedule doesn’t offer a lot of spice.  But still there are storylines galore, in the ACC and beyond:

Can TOB keep the wolves at bay with a win over Clemson, or [...]

News and Notes: Earthquake Edition

Content has been light as of late. I was at the beach through the weekend then returned home only to fly out to Seattle and leave all of you to face things like earthquakes and hurricanes. And yes I was also on the west coast during the tornadoes in April. I promise to come back [...]

Conference Realignment Not A Bang But A Whimper?

Looks that way though I do not imagine the Pac 11 is quite done yet.  For now it looks like the six BCS conferences will remain intact with some minor changes.

Things I Am Thankful For…

…after watching the BCS Championship.

I am thankful that should UNC win the NCAA Championship game on April 6th that there will no debate as to who is the #1 team in the nation.

At Least Ron Cherry Never Did This

This was during the LSU-SCAR game Saturday night where an SEC official inexplicably lays a shoulder into SCAR QB Stephen Garcia.  And for anyone who thinks it was an accident watch as he shuffles his feet to size Garcia up then delivers the blow.  It will be interesting to see how the SEC responds [...]

Knocking On The Polls’ Door

A couple of you have asked how close is UNC to being ranked in the football Top 25 for the first time since, be darned if I know when.  Anyway.  Here is the breakdown of UNC’s position in the two major polls.
