There have been poor coaching efforts this year in the ACC and some embarrassing losses. For the most part those had been relegated to non-conference games though. Losses by Virginia Tech to James Madison and Georgia Tech to Kansas, while ugly, don't keep one from winning the ACC. When you lose to previously winless in-conference teams like Boston College and Virginia, as Clemson and Miami did on Saturday, well, that's when things can get really rough ...

Today, the University of Miami inexcusably lost to UVA.  That's right—the same UVA team that boasted one win against a Division I team all season (and even that was against a 1-7 Eastern Michigan team).The same UVA that was allowing over 200 yards/game...ON THE GROUND!  The same team that was winless in the ACC, not coming within single digits in their first three tries.  But there were the Canes, the cure-all for lesser opponents.  Don't ...

Cam Newton's run against the LSU Tigers broke a 10-10 tie and propelled Auburn to a win, earning them the No. 1 spot in the BCS rankings.While the Tigers are sitting pretty at the top of the BCS, one thing is clear—Newton has been a tremendous difference-maker for the Tigers.Could we be looking back at that 49-yard run months from now and consider that his Heisman moment?If the season ended today, he would certainly make ...

It seems that nobody wants to represent the SEC East in Atlanta come December. The best record—the absolute best—an SEC East team can carry into the championship game against the western division's foe features at least two losses. After Saturday's games, the East looks like this: South Carolina is first at 4-2 after the win against Tennessee; Florida comes in at 3-3, having bested a resurgent Georgia (3-4); Vanderbilt, after losing to Arkansas late, sits ...

Baylor vs. Texas: Texas Shows No Improvement! As I write this article, the third-quarter of play is underway between the University of Texas Longhorns and the Baylor Bears. At this point in the game, the score is 19-10 in favor of the Longhorns.  Garrett Gilbert has passed for 63 yards and run for 67. As a lifelong fans of the University of Texas, I should be ecstatic, right?  The Horns are winning.  Texas has managed good field position ...

On Saturday, class of 2011 No. 2 point guard Myck Kabongo made it public that he is no longer committed to the Texas Longhorns.  He is considering Texas, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Syracuse. For some time, there had been rumblings about Kabongo's love for Texas waning, but now its official—the 2011 recruiting scene just got a lot more interesting. Kabongo is a close friend of recent 2011 Duke commit Austin Rivers.  The two have ...

If you've ever attended a college football or college basketball game, the one thing that you may look for right off the bat is where each team's mascot is.Okay, maybe not the first thing, but the mascot's job is to make sure it's visible at all times. They light up the crowd, they get them into a frenzy, and they have some fun while they're at it.We know the ones that will crowd surf, the ...

Review originally published on StadiumJourney.comThe University of Tennessee is one of the oldest schools of higher learning in the south dating all the way back to 1794 when it was known as Blount College. Tennessee's Neyland Stadium was built on the banks of the Tennessee river in 1921, but Tennessee has been playing football since 1891. Neyland Stadium is the third largest stadium in the nation and one of the first stadiums to break the 100,000 ...
