Virginia Leads ACC

Was it not just last week that we were talking Virginia and North Carolina State playing for last place in ACC basketball? As they say in news talk the early returns are in and Virginia is the only undefeated team in the ACC after only three games.

Saturday's NFL playoff games proved one thing. Motivated divisional champions are hard to beat at home. Arizona and Baltimore scored seventeen points between them and were never in either game. Arizona game up 90 point in their two playoff games an NFL record. Baltimore's effort shows you how far New England has fallen.

New Orleans and Indianapolis wait to see who they will host next week in the conference championship games.

I have not had anything to say so far about Mark McGuire and his admitting he used steroids while breaking Roger Maris Home run record. Not much to say other than I thought so. I find it hard to believe that St Louis will still let him be their hitting coach starting this year.

Gilbert Arenas plead guilty this week to a Felony charge on guns. I have a feeling his NBA career should be over. If you or I brought a gun to work we would be fired in a second.

The Carolina Hurricanes lost again Saturday to solidify they lead as the worst team in hockey. They have been playing better of late but are so far back the season is just about over for them.

While the Hurricanes go down the Bobcats are heading upwards. Saturday night they beat the Suns to even their record at 19-19. It is the first time in the teams Bobcat franchise history to be 500 during any season at any time.

One of the best moves that East Carolina has ever made in sports was the hiring of Terry Holland to be athletic director. I sure did enjoy listening to Holland talk about Skip Holtz and the football future of the Pirates this week. The Pirates sure do have a skipper in charge heading in the right direction in Greenville.
