And now it’s Bowl Week. Christmas is over, as are all of those nondescript bowls placed before the holiday in order to flesh out programming on the Deuce. It is now time to get down to the brass tacks of bowling. There were all of those so-called ‘lower-tier’ bowls. They are called that for a [...]
All in all, it was a pretty good football weekend. ‘It’ would be the Stagg Bowl, the Division III championship held last Saturday in Salem . With time on its hands until we head for Atlanta in a couple of weeks, the Clubhouse Tailgate decided that this was indeed football and we would give it [...]
Got your bowl plans firmed up yet? Hundreds of thousands of college football fans have done or are doing just that, making preparations for that great New Year’s extravaganza, the bowl season. Planes, trains and automobiles will be ferrying those fans to destinations, mostly south [sorry, Canes], as we prepare for that annual vacation quite [...]
Things have been jumping in ACC football country. The Coach Hiring Season is in full swing. Of interest is who migrated south and which coach decided against escaping from the Li’l E.

Well, that was fun. On a gorgeous late-November afternoon in Lane Stadium, one of those days that goes far towards convincing one that the deity did indeed have Virginia Tech in mind when He came up with the whole creation idea, the Hokies, as is their habit these days and years, throttled the Hoos.
