I’m sure many of the readers of SFN have jobs that require them to travel. If you are one of those people (or even if you’re not), imagine this is your travel schedule after the Christmas break. Starting on December 27th through January 29th your travel itinerary reads like this: St Louis MO Syracuse NY […]
ACC
Re-Thinking the ACC Pecking Order
As the conference season began, most folks (myself included) thought the hated blues comprised a tier all of their own at the top, with BC, GT, and maybe Wake on the bottom. The vast middle consisted of teams that looked NIT-ish, with the likelihood that a few would do better, and a few do worse […]
ACC Football Attendance Announced
ESPN has a blog entry (linked here) reviewing the ANNOUNCED attendance at each respective ACC school.

ACC Mid-Season Review
I’ve done a mid-season review each of the last several years and enjoy taking a broader look at the ACC. The past several years, I’ve used the data from CBS Sports and really like they layout they have for each team. The problem is that as of lunchtime on Friday, they have not included the […]
ACC Basketball during the Swofford era
After seeing Wake Forest lose to Wofford, Florida State lose to Princeton and BC lose to Rhode Island, I started wondering what the ACC looked like when Swofford became the commissioner and how that compared to the mess we are seeing today. Swofford became the commissioner in 1997. Here are where the ACC teams in […]
Top Sports Stories of the Year
Thee Sports Blog broke down a list of the top stories of the year for local schools, and beyond. I’d say that they did a good job of it (linked here). For NC State the blog came up with links to the following: The basketball coaching search, Debbie Yow says Gary Williams “sabotaged†search Mark […]
