Playing the Game
The Return of the A-Line Board of Football Experts The talk and weauxfing is just about over. Very soon now, it will be time to play actual football. You really have to admire the outstanding work done by Nike in unifying the Virginia Tech fan base and getting us all primed for the opener. Good [...]

Tech’s Latest Big Game
The interminable wait for the football season enters its home stretch. This Dead Zone has less than three weeks remaining. As often happens, Virginia Tech is opening its season with a high-profile ESPN game. This one is Labor night at FedEx against Boise State. According to jimmy on the first Tech Talk of the season, [...]
The Guns of August
It is the home stretch. Season tickets have been delivered, early [FedEx] travel arrangements made and I have even had dinner with Frank and several hundred other Roanoke Hokies. We are now inside a month and are counting down to another football season. Practice has begun at all schools and all available media outlets are [...]
Hype and Change
The ACC recently completed its annual football extravaganza recently. The league’s coaches, a couple of players from each team and numerous members of the various media that cover conference football gathered at Grandover in Greensboro for the usual talk, predictions, golf and assurances from Little Johnny that ACC football isn’t as bad as it often [...]
Family Ties
The Alderson family held its annual reunion this past Saturday. While that is not all that unusual, as they are held around this time every year, the venue and methods of celebration were. I have been attending these events for quite a while. As time passes, I notice that I am edging slowly but surely [...]
A-Line Extra: EWII Ends, Holocast Averted

Warring parties agreed to a settlement that will allow Texas to annex other Big X schools and cause a Longhorn Curtain to descend around the remnants of the former Big XII. Averted was a general nuclear conflagration that threatened all of college athletics and promised [...]
The World Cup of Expansions
This Dead Zone appears to be anything but. There seems to be a sporting event held once every four years that is a fairly big deal to all parts of the world except for this one. The World Cup competition again attempts to convince a skeptical North American sporting public that soccer is indeed a [...]

The ACC held its annual baseball tournament this past weekend in Greensboro. As is usually the case, I decided that if the conference was going to hold championships less than an hour from my house, the least I could do was go. It was an enjoyable time. The baseball gathering had been moved from Fenway [...]
Zoning In
The Spring Game has come and gone. That means, of course, that once again we have entered the Dead Zone, that void of endless NBA and NHL playoffs, a stupefying number of professional baseball games and countless and seemingly pointless NASCAR races and golf tournaments. It will be the usual four months. Even the prospects [...]
