2008 ACC Football Review
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: - Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. - Subtract contributions from “graduating” players. - Add in contributions that we will see from new players. - Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with [...]

Monday, June 8, 2009
Last year I did a series of entries with summaries of ACC records and titles(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5). This year I will be posting entries by sport and at the end of the school year I am planning on doing some overall summaries for the athletic department. [...]

Monday, April 13, 2009
A couple of years ago we highlighted various media exercises where Tom O’Brien was garnering praise and high rankings. It may be worth some of your time to do a little surfing. As you can see from some of the previous links, Tom Dienhart was writing for The Sporting News in the past. Today, [...]

She’s at it again. The woman who originally ranked Carter-Finley Stadium the ACC’s 11th toughest place to play while ranking Kenan Stadium 4th because of its scenic beauty… This place is just the right size, and the picturesque pine trees make this one of the nicest venues in the league. Butch Davis has an amazing view of [...]

Friday, December 12, 2008
Long article and a good read. When the ACC begins negotiations next year on a new TV contract, the league will be in year six of its move to a 12-team, two-division superconference. In many ways, the strength of that next deal will serve as a referendum on the ACC’s expansion, which added Miami, Virginia Tech and [...]

Tuesday, December 9, 2008
We’ve got some solid football items to digest today. Heather Dinich has ranked the ACC Bowl games in order of most entertaining. The Wolfpack vs the Scarlet Knights is a strong second on the list. It’s interesting a bowl that is not an official ACC Bowl and includes the ACC’s 10th team is ranked so highly. [...]

Some odds and ends to fill the time before the Wolfpack tips against Davidson Saturday and bowl bids are finally settled: The Big Lead: Head to Head, The ACC Beat the SEC This Year We all know the Pac-10’s a joke. And everyone thinks the ACC is a joke. We compiled the season-long stats, and if our math [...]

Saturday, November 1, 2008
Let me remind everyone that SFN now has a chat room associated with the site. We don’t use that much, but I figure it would be a nice place for some of you to convene during the day. There are some interesting games in the ACC today starting with Miami @ Virginia (that just kicked-off). [...]

Wednesday, October 29, 2008
At the risk of over-stating the obvious – next year is a very important year for the NC State Football program and every single leader with any type of influence over the direction of the football program. Unless the Wolfpack can string together four consecutive wins to close out the 2008 season, the program [...]

Monday, September 29, 2008
The Atlantic Coast Conference has certainly had a topsy-turvy first month of the season. After starting slowly, the conference earned enough respect in recent weeks to move as high as fourth in comparative conference rankings. The events of this past weekend certainly didn’t help our image. (Why can’t we ever play a Wake Forest team [...]

Thursday, August 7, 2008
Here’s something to play with on a Thursday morning in August. Our favorite ESPN ACC blogger is at it again. (I suppose I’m using a “neutral” favorite there– neither a compliment nor in the perjorative.) Since we had so much fun with the stadium rankings, here is a ranking of the ACC [...]

Wednesday, July 16, 2008
An awful lot of attention was applied to an ESPN blog post about “toughest” football stadiums in the ACC throughout the conference’s footprint this week. SFN led the charge with a pretty comprehensive initial entry that can be seen by clicking here and then was followed-up by a great piece from LRM that received a lot [...]

Monday, July 14, 2008
Dear Heather Dinich, Good for you, having been to all of the ACC stadiums – it’s something I can’t say for myself. And kudos to ESPN for hiring an Indiana graduate and a Maryland resident to write a regular blog about the ACC. I’ll be honest here, Heather. I’m provincially prejudiced and I don’t intend to change [...]

Monday, July 14, 2008
It’s almost the official middle of summertime – about six weeks past Memorial Day and about six weeks until the start of the college football season - so it is obviously a slow time where college sports are concerned. Fall practices are still several weeks out, and it’s really too soon for the major media outlets to start covering [...]
