Duke University Clashes with Local Union
By Doris Jwo - Politics DailyCampuses all over the nation constantly struggle to maintain good relations with their host cities. It's mutualistic: colleges and universities provide innovation, technology and bustling life, while the town or city provides a temporary home for its students. The relationship gets tricky when the school and its community clash over campus issues. Generally it's something benign, like tensions over excessive noise and partying, and there's always the chance of crime on campus. While seemingly placid, problems with dining services can bring the campus to a boil. After all, college kids can't ...
NCAA Baseball Tournaments to Determine National Seeds, Host Sites
By Jim Henry - AOL NewsA two-time draft selection at Georgia Tech, Luke Murton returned for his senior baseball season to enjoy the college experience and improve his draft status. The first has been accomplished and the second will be determined in next month's major-league amateur draft.At the moment, however, Murton and teammates are not happy campers.The Duke Blue Devils ruined the Yellow Jackets' extended stay in Durham, N.C., by winning two of three games and spoiling Georgia Tech's opportunity to win the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title and accompanying No. 1 tournament seed."We obviously didn't ...
Good Thing Paul Johnson Likes to Run the Ball
By Bill Maloney - AOL NewsWhen Paul Johnson was hired at Georgia Tech, he assured fans, players, recruits and the media -- and anyone else who'd list -- that he'd adjust his triple option offense to the ACC and throw the ball. With the departure of yet another Yellow Jacket wide receiver Johnson may not have any choice. Even if he wanted to throw the ball, there's no one to catch it. The latest pass catcher to leave, James Johnson, didn't blame the new offense as his reason for giving up his final year of eligibility. He simply said he was just tired of football. Tech's depth chart at wide receiver now includes one ...
Georgia Tech's Demaryius Thomas Not Scoring Points on Field or With Chan Gailey
By Bill Maloney - AOL NewsGeorgia Tech lost to Boston College Saturday night in part because they only managed to score 10 points. However, Demaryius Thomas was not part of the problem. The redshirt fresham did his part catching five passes for 68 yards. In addition to making plays, Thomas thinks he has the solution to the Yellow Jackets' problems. According to Thomas, "We're going to have do a better job with play calling." As you can imagine, Thomas' armchair quarterbacking and not so subtle dig at new Georgia Tech offensive coordinator John Bond did not go over well with Yelllow Jackets head coach Chan Gailey. ...
Is BC-GT the Best ACC Has to Offer?
By Bill Maloney - AOL NewsNo slight intended against either Georgia Tech or Boston College. As a resident of Atlanta and a BC grad, I am glad that both teams have arisen to the top of the conference and this Saturday's game could be a preview of the ACC Championship Game. However, as a football fan and a defender of the ACC expansion, there is part of me that is a little disappointed. I like that BC and GT are playing well...what is bothersome is that no one else in the conference is. The marquee teams in the league (Miami, Virginia Tech and Florida State) all have quarterback problems. Maryland got run over by West ...
Maryland Fans, Quit Rushing the Field!
By Kyle Decker - AOL NewsLet me start off by saying I'm not one of those people who say that rioting is disrespectful to the Maryland tradition or makes the Terps look bad. Screw all that. It's great. However, rioting and rushing the field should only happen when it's deserved. Rushing the field otherwise just makes you look like idiots and, as an alumn and Terp fan, that's something that I can have.I think the current students watched the Terps from 2000-2005 and saw all the great riots. I'm lucky. I was a freshman in 2001-2002. The first major riot of the modern era -- meaning not Vietnam -- was a year before when ...
Maryland Succeeds in Beating Miami, Giving Me High Blood Pressure
By Kyle Decker - AOL NewsWell, the last two weeks Maryland's combined margin of victory has been a mean two points. However, they have been two victories. In fact, the Terps rattled off five in a row to improve to 8-2 and 5-1 in conference. The last two games haven't been pretty, but the outcomes have been tough wins and the fact they were wins at all is all that counts.The Miami game was a huge pitfall game. Being Miami, they always have the talent and ability to come out strong every single game. The fact they were playing for a teammate that had died earlier in the week would just add to that fact. It looked like ...
Terps Face Their Third Biggest Game of the Year This Saturday
By Kyle Decker - AOL NewsI was right. Don't be too surprised; it happens often. After Maryland's win against Florida State, they were in the receiving votes portion of both the AP and the ESPN rankings. If they beat Clemson -- big if -- I believe they will receiver a ranking.Once again, the game will be televised on ESPN2 Saturday morning. (I believe noon is still the morning on a Saturday.) The Terps are a double digit underdog going into the game. That's OK thought. It's fine with me. As long as the Terps have been undogs, they've shown up. In fact, I'll be worried when they do get some national attention. Even ...
Is Maryland Getting Some National Attention?
By Kyle Decker - AOL NewsMaryland is starting to finally get some recognition as a football program again. Of course, they aren't ranked. They shouldn't be. They're not even getting those additional votes that ESPN will show you below the rankings. They shouldn't be getting those either. However, ESPN has given them another shot not to get their arse's whipped on national television. Maryland is winning the game they should, which they have all year since their two losses are to ranked programs, and that scored them the 7 PM game on ESPN2 next Saturday. That's right, people. The Terps are back in prime time! For all ...
Clemson Keys to Victory Over Georgia Tech
By Jeremy Parker - AOL NewsThe 12th-ranked Tigers take on the 13th-ranked Yellow Jackets from Georgia Tech this weekend in what is clearly the biggest game for Clemson this year--so far.Tech comes in at 5-1 with their lone loss to Notre Dame, while the Tigers enter the contest 6-1, a loss to BC the only blemish. Saturday may, in fact, be a preview of the ACC Championship--assuming things go Clemson's way the rest of the season.So how will Clemson beat Georgia Tech this Saturday?1. Contain Reggie Ball. I know what you're thinking ... why not stop Calvin Johnson? Well, someone has to throw Johnson the ball. I figure, if ...
