logo-200x200

Though not the highest profile ACC game this week I think this is a very interesting game with significant implications for the Atlantic Dvision. Both teams are 2-1 but have yet to grab a conference win. Wake Forest and Boston College are two of the steadiest teams in the ACC, occasionally exceeding expectations but never sinking to Duke status.  However, heading into this year the expectations … [Read more...]

In no other league do players get overhyped and over-analyzed like the NBA Draft, and this year’s class is hard pan proof. It’s always easy to get excited about an influx of fresh faces and fresh talent in the NBA, but it’s no secret that the 2009 draft is a class that nobody is excited about. The reason is two-fold.
