Kevin McGuire: This season we have already seen the departures of Mike Lockesly at New Mexico and Mike Stoops at Arizona. Seems like a bad time for head coaches to be named Mike, so when your phone rings Mike Riley (Oregon State) and Mike Price (UTEP) you may want the call to go to voicemail. […]

“Our worst fears were realized.” A quote doesn’t get more raw, real and genuine than that, and that was certainly the case when Steve Spurrier uttered those words at his Sunday afternoon press conference today in Columbia.

The Virginia Tech Hokies are the longstanding class of the ACC since the league’s expansion in 2004, and after dropping their conference opener to Clemson a few weeks ago, people were starting to question if they would remain atop the ACC.
