Boston College’s official move into the ACC last week wasn’t the only change in conference alignments across the nation. This link will highlight how all of the major conferences are currently comprised. On Friday, The Houston Chronicle did a long story on the current state of Conference USA.

We’re #50….51!!!!
The 2004-2005 Athletics Season is in the books and the final NACDA Directors Cup rankings of College Athletics Programs has been released.

Hodge Follows DT’s Path; Will Wear Light Blue

Football Links of Interest
Just some random college football links of interest that became overdue during our last couple of weeks of hiatus: ===> Let’s start with one of my favorite magazines, The Sporting News. TSN not only asks, “Is it football season yet?”…but, they also offer Wolfpackers a nice bone to chomp when they pick us as one […]
State Perspective: ‘Barnes Beats out UNC, UConn’
The headline on the 4th page (Welcome to Texas) last week’s Houston Chronicle says it all: UT stages coup by luring recruit from powerhouses Barnes beats out North Carolina, UConn for Durant The NC State Message Boards have been having some (surprisingly) calm discussions about the topic…that invariably produces the question: “Depsite NC State’s significant […]
