The Conference Headlines

11 ACC Schools makes US News and World Reports Top 100</a>. Six made the top 50 with 5 more making the top 81 (NCSU rounded out the list at #81): Before you look, guess who didn't make it into the top 100 group, bested by such schools as Alabama, Nebraska, Suny-Stony Brooke, Auburn (Auburn?????), and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry? http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php

From the Press Box Blog: PressBox: UVa QBs jockey for position behind Olsen. http://blogs.roanoke.com/pressbox/doug_doughty/uva_qbs_jockey_for_position_be.html

Ramblin' Wreck Blog ramblings: "In his first Ramblin' On entry, Tech fan Andy Fritchley tells of overcoming a Red and Black childhood." http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/techfans/entries/2006/08/17/im_a_ramblin_wr.html

Ok, Ok, so Omar Kelly thinks that he can overwhelm us with his three entrys since yesterday. Well the Basketblog is not scared. We present to you the "Three For" from the Great Omar Kelly Hurricane Blog:

- "Tough Decisions": "As hard as I try I can't help but think about Maurice Clarett every time I think......." http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_college_hurricanes/2006/08/tough_decisions.html

- "Miami's T.O." : "I honestly don't know what to say about Willie Williams and his present..." http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_college_hurricanes/2006/08/miamis_to.html

Canes divided on Willie Williams:"Willie Williams has been turned away by nearly a dozen institutions he sought a transfer to this summer. Included in that list is Pearl River (Miss.) Community College, which on Wednesday backed away from him, denying his enrollment in the 11th hour of the process." Willie, when your rep is so bad that Pearl River Community College says "no thanks" that's very bad news, bro. Time to take a look in the mirror, get on your hands and knees, and beg Coker and your former teammates to let you start at the very bottom and earn your way. We hope you humble yourself and the 'Canes give you a chance to prove something. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/college/hurricanes/sfl-umfoot18aug18,0,3623278.story?coll=sfla-hurricanes
