From the Greensboro News Record…
“The ACC reported it disbursed 87.55 percent of its total revenue to its members…The move from the Big East to the ACC looks good for the new members, particularly Boston College and Virginia Tech. Although guaranteed only $6.2 million in 2005-06 under the terms of their entry into the league, both [...]

I’m guessing Bob didn’t get too much sleep…
This is a good gathering of clips from the Georgetown celebrations.

Vick Pegs Home Depot
Sure, it’s a farce. But it’s on Kissing Suzy Kolber, and it’s funny as hell, so it’s got to be good, right?

You know, the whiners are right. It IS a pro-sports town. But it’s a damn good place for college sports too, and who the hell wants to go watch the Mud Hens whatever they are.
And just how exciting ARE dangling car keys when you are past the age of three?
Ever since BC joined the ACC, we Eagle fans have had to put up with crap thrown at us at WVU, whiney columns from Boston sports writers who liked their free tickets to be within driving distance, and Big East [...]

SNL: Worth Watching Again?
I missed this skit last night, as I don’t watch SNL anymore. Maybe I should reconsider.

Papelbon to close
While I was suprised to see the stoic Red Sox brass go back on their word, the news that uber-closer Jonathan Papelbon in returning to the bullpen is great news for Red Sox Nation.

What happened to the Helmet Sundae?
We are in Florida for a friends wedding and came down a day early to relax. (a few other SiMP authors are here or arriving shortly too.) My wife and I went to

Ok, so I am probably the only one that cares about this, but…
…did anyone happen to notice that not only did Syracuse break the attendance record for an NIT game (23,522 set in 1979 for a Kentucky-Clemson game at Rupp Arena), but it destroyed it? 26,752 Syracuse fans filled the Carrier Dome and were rewarded with an 80-64 thrashing of New Mexico State (who earlier [...]

On Duke Hating, The Yankees, & Notre Dame (and even, sort-of, the Cowboys)
Yup: this about sums it up. Well-written, IMO. Not pro-Duke, in the “you’re all stupid for hating us just ’cause we’re good, nice, and win” by any stretch, but also not the blathering broken-record of late Duke-hating for the sake of Duke-hating mold.
