What Would Phillip Sims’s Transfer to Virginia Mean? (Streaking the Lawn)
Earlier this evening we reported that Phillip Sims had made the decision to transfer to UVA. It looks like we may have jumped the gun a bit there, because while we were basing it off the information we got from one Phillip Sims facebook page, it looks like there’s another under his name that has been quiet on the matter…
Andre Branch, Coty Sensabaugh’s Rise Show Recruiting An Imperfect Process (Orange and White)
When Coty Sensabaugh committed to Clemson the night before 2007’s national signing day, there were no grand proclamations on Internet message boards, no predictions of stardom or national titles. Same went for Andre Branch’s pledge two weeks earlier. In a star-studded 2007 recruiting class, Branch and Sensabaugh were absolute afterthoughts…
Another First-Rounder On the Roster? And the Big Finish (BC Interruption)
Brian: On Thursday, Luke Kuechly became the fifth Boston College player drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft in the last five years, joining former Eagles Anthony Castonzo (2011), B.J. Raji (2010), Matt Ryan (2008) and Gosder Cherilus (2008).

Many Syracuse fans were nervous about the prospect of Chandler landing on their team as a first round pick…
Pitt Shut Out of NFL Draft For First Time in 12 Years (Cardiac Hill)
Well, didn’t see this one coming. For the first time in more than a decade, Pitt was shut out of the NFL Draft. It’s not as if Pitt had a bunch of high-profile guys. Many years, we’re talking about if the Panthers will have a first-rounder. This year was a bit different, but it still appeared as Pitt would have at least one or two guys taken. The most likely suspects were Brandon Lindsey and Lucas Nix, who showed up on most mock drafts…
UNC Football: October 27th: Judgment Day (Keeping It Heel)
If when reading this title you asked yourself what is happening on October 27th, 2011 then you are not the rabid North Carolina football fan that is inside me. For five years I have listened to my Wolfpack friends yell “five in a row”, “42-10″, “UNC Cheat”, and enough is enough. The 2012 football season could be viewed as a season for Coach Larry Fedora as a season without high expectations.
And today’s featured ACC football video:
