The A-Line will return when it returns, unless it does not.

It has been an interesting couple of weeks. And that doesn’t even count my pitiful brackets. I have been doing this sort of thing for 15 years now, in a variety of formats and hosts. I have enjoyed the hell out of it. I discovered some time back that when you express your opinions, there [...]

So, how are your brackets? Following four days of basketball noted primarily for the large numbers of high seeds getting shot down like a Mig over the Sinai and the quick exit of 5/6 of the ACC schools actually invited, the college basketball world pauses to take a breath and rest for a few days.

As usually happens twice a year, the howling about the participants in a college postseason is loud and long. Cries of rigged systems and nefarious plots to reward favored teams abound.

As I delete some of the more colorful comments, I am again reminded that quite a few Hokies disagree with my feelings towards basketball coach Seth Greenberg.  I will point out, again, the disagreement doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I have been cherneyed by the best in the business and am used to it. [...]

A month ago, things looked bleak for Virginia Tech. The Hokies had ridden an OOC schedule so weak that even a team coached by Seth Greenberg only lost to the one good team it played. Coupled with a relatively-easy ACC draw that had the Hokies playing twice the worst teams in the league and Tech [...]
