As my job takes requires a little more travel than I would often prefer, I try to carve away some time to visit football stadiums and basketball arenas in college towns and professional cities whenever I can. I’ve found that I have always been particularly interested in big stadiums and great venues…even when games are […]

College Football Attendance Continues Decline
College football attendance continues to decline each year, hitting a 14-year low in 2014. We can only speculate the exact reasons for the decline, which are probably some combination of chronically poor non-conference home scheduling, endless TV coverage and the poor cell reception stopping an entire generation from updating Instagram. Also, traditional powers Texas, Michigan […]

Blood Makes the Grass Grow, KILL KILL KILL Game Thread
I don’t have to spell out which game I am referring to. I did my shopping this morning. Not going out in public the rest of the weekend JUST IN CASE. Seriously, there are maybe 5-10 people I know and could see in Holes gear this weekend, and NOT feel the overwhelming desire to murder […]
Just how bad is the ACC’s Coastal Division?
This past Friday morning after the lowly 5-5 Tar heels were able to so easily dismantle what the media would want you to believe is the greatest power led by the greatest football coach in ACC history, we asked a fair question of what that means for the positioning of the ACC Coastal? After yesterday […]
