BCS Evolution: BCS vs. the NCAA

This is something I've often thought about. If the NCAA doesn't recognize a champion in D1 football, why do these teams keep submitting to the NCAA's rules and standards? Why don't they break off completely from being NCAA regulated? SBN blog BCS Evolution does a good job of breaking it down.

"As someone who cut his basketball teeth on Hokie home games, I can attest to how deafening Cassell Coliseum can get. When Comcast gets loud, it rumbles. When Cassell gets loud, it’s like a plane landing on your head."

Seth Greenberg is Dead to Me

Coach Greenberg is "100 percent in favor" of expanding the NCAA Tournament to a preposterous 96 teams. Let's just give all 347 teams a trophy and have an ice cream social instead of a basketball tournament. Everyone's invited. NBC would probably pay big bucks to televise that shit on tape delay.

"Both are unbelievable stadiums to play at as far as the atmosphere, but just as far as the fans and the difference of the "hate factor" ... I think the Virginia Tech guys, that crowd, has the edge."

Former BC LB Mike McLaughlin told BC Interruption Lane Stadium is the most intimidating venue in the ACC.

"Is he a little dramatic? Yeah, he might be a little dramatic. He's still 175 pounds running into a 240 pound guy. He's still a guy that every single team in the league grabs and holds and bumps and every single time he comes off a curl takes a shot at him.''

"I got the ball. It was my first collegiate home run ball and I gave it to my parents with a little note. My mom cried. It was awesome."

Freshman softball player Courtney Liddle after her first career home run during Tech's 3-1 weekend in Jacksonville. I made my mom cry plenty of times while I was in college, but never for anything awesome I did.

I can say without reservation that Cassell Coliseum is becoming one of the best and most difficult venues in the Atlantic Coast Conference. It’s because of the tremendous ownership, passion and energy that our student body has created throughout the season.

One thing about the ACC is that you don’t have a long time to celebrate. Your next game becomes the most important game.

You can’t live in the past; you’ve got to stay in the present as you try to build your resume and earn your way into the NCAA Tournament.

That’s why tonight’s game against Wake Forest is so important.

Protecting your home court, building on your past success and separating yourself is what tonight is all about.

With the 7 p.m. tip-off, I’m asking you to arrive early and help prepare our players for a frantic 40 minutes of basketball. There is something special when you walk out for warm-ups and you see the student section filled.

"In short, there might not be a team in the country that has to go into the final month of the season knowing it must do a little extra to differentiate itself than the Malcolm Delaney-led Hokies. Regardless of whether Virginia Tech is one of the best 34 at-large teams from a visual perspective won't mean much if it cannot separate itself from the rest of the outfits scrambling for the last couple spots."

Predicting the NCAA Tournament with a Georgia Tech Professor

The guys at From the Rumble Seat have an interview with a GT professor who has devised a system for predicting success in the NCAA Tournament. The system is pretty accurate and the interview is definitely worth the read.
