Didn't see it posted yet. Anyone think UCLA's mega class will save Howland's job?

With all the discussion about Virginia Tech and how good or bad a job is, how would you rank the jobs in the ACC?

4/28/2012 4:41:38 PM

Overall job?

1) UNC
2) Duke
3) NCSU
4) Maryland
5) Wake
6) Virginia
7) Georgia Tech
8) FSU
9) Virginia Tech
10) Clemson
11) Miami
12) BC

This is just fantastic news. Maximum screw-over for the Turd.

4/30/2012 10:25:24 AM

I can't believe Clemson, with their phenomenal fan support, isn't ranked higher...

4/30/2012 10:36:02 AM

That is a huge hit for Maryland they might have made some noise next year. God I cant wait for cbk

4/30/2012 10:43:15 AM

apparently it was a mutual decision by stoglin and turgeon... apparently violating team policy 3 times, i think it was weed. apparently same with mychal parker, although he had already announced he was transferring.

Fuck Maryland.

I hope they go 1-11 in football and 2-30 in bball with only wins over UNC

Not sure what to make of that. Stoglin was really hard to stop and he had a great outside shot.

4/30/2012 6:47:07 PM

how are you not sure what to make of it?

it's great news every way you slice it.

4/30/2012 6:55:04 PM

It makes our conference weaker

4/30/2012 8:14:28 PM

which is a good thing

4/30/2012 8:21:42 PM

Of course it is good for us. I am just thinking that the add by subtract mentra doesn't apply hetr.

4/30/2012 8:51:31 PM

you know what else made our conference weaker last year? Maryland

Well La-Di-Freakin-Da!

5/2/2012 8:17:49 PM

I'm just glad his wrinkled ass face won't be stealing camera time from Jay and Digger anymore

5/2/2012 8:22:51 PM

So what are the chances he's replaced with another UNC talking head to go with Bilas. I doubt they let Jay Williams take over.

5/2/2012 8:24:51 PM

I wanna see Gottlieb get a seat at the big boy table. He's earned his shot.

5/2/2012 8:28:30 PM

gottlieb gave us so much love in the tournament.

as it turns out he doesn't hate us, he just knew sidney lowe was a bad coach.

5/2/2012 8:33:13 PM

i used to despise gottlieb, but he's kinda grown on me in the last couple years. he'd be a good replacement

5/2/2012 9:56:17 PM

So glad Davis isn't working on ESPN anymore. I don't want him at UNC either, but at least I'll only have to deal with seeing him more than hearing him...

5/2/2012 10:17:40 PM

I was hopin they'd pick up Gus Johnson. practice would be awesome

5/2/2012 10:30:47 PM

Hubert was OK but just never took a stand.

Anyway, not shocking but besides still not being qualified, Nerlens has the NCAA sniffing around. Of course the hillbillies are crying "conspiracy."

5/9/2012 1:01:28 PM

Hubert wasn't even a good commentator. Jay Bilas FTW/

5/9/2012 1:03:56 PM

Dorian Finney-Smith leaving VT.

Shabazz Muhammad ineligible for UCLA’s preseason trip to China

Muhammad has been declared ineligible while the NCAA investigates possible improper benefits provided to Muhammad by a couple of family friends. “Since the investigation won’t be totally clear, they wanted to hold him out for China,” a source told Zagoria. “He has class. He’s not going to miss that for China.”

Oh, and if your team didn't crack the top 50, click here to see where they rank among their peers. 50 in 50 rankings: No. 1 North Carolina 1. North Carolina (911 points) Positives: In our scoring system, the Tar Heels have been a top-four program in each decade. They lead all teams in top-10 picks (22) and, as of this writing, have not lost any points due to vacated wins or NCAA sanctions. UNC has reached multiple Final Fours in each of the past five decades and made 13 straight trips to the Sweet 16 from 1981-93. Negatives: North Carolina missed the NCAA tournament in eight of the first 12 years (1963-74) of this study. Had a stretch of six Final Four trips from 1991-2000, but reached the national championship game just once in a 22-season span from 1983-2004.

rip bros.

9/12/2012 10:01:02 PM

lulz. Their football program will be bigger than their basketball program in a few years. Fuck Caron Butler.

9/13/2012 7:27:42 AM

Lots of twitter hate on ESPN for "glorifying" Calhoun but those ESPN people (Andy Katz, Rece Davis, etc) actually know the guy away from basketball and are close friends so they separate the person from the (sometimes shady) coaching.

9/13/2012 2:21:45 PM

Yeah, I'm sure Katz and Calhoun are best buds; I hear their families holiday together at a cabin in the Adirondacks every year. JFC, get a hold of yourself. This isn't the first time ESPN lionizes someone, and it certainly won't be the last.

9/13/2012 2:31:45 PM

Yes. I'm not complaining about it. They do it with everyone.

Recruiting guys (Telep, Daniels) seem to think highly of Ollie. Not so much for me.

9/13/2012 2:51:58 PM

oh shit, TN just signed the #3 SG in the country, 5-star Robert Hubbs

Any chance Bobby Petrino wants to coach basketball? Texas Tech would be the perfect fit.

is there really enough talent on that team to win a title? even w/ those two? impossible to say before we see how this year's class does... but i'd have to guess no.
