ACC Futbol

It's been a crappy year for the ACC on the gridiron, but not on the pitch. The ACC has long been dominant in college soccer, particularly women's soccer, and that tradition continues. The men and women both have their Final Four, or College Cup as they call it, this weekend. The ACC put two teams in each - UNC (of course) and Florida State in the women's tourney and UVA and Wake Forest for the men. Man, Wake is having quite a fall, huh?

What's really cool about this is that ESPN is airing two of the semifinal games and the championships. The UNC-UCLA women's game is on ESPN2 at 3:30 and the UVA-UCLA men's game is on ESPN2 at 6. The women's finals are on ESPN2 Sunday at 12:30. The men are on the same channel at 3 p.m. Set your TiVo! Hopefully those Sunday tilts will be all-ACC contests!

Hopefully UNC can win the women's tourney again - it's been quite a drought!

ACC men's soccer is far and away the most impressive showcase of depth and dominance that you can see in college sports. Here's to hoping for a Wake win in ACC football championship and men's soccer championship - might as well let them get all their winning in during one season.

Well, that didn't go well. Four games, three losses for the ACC. Only the Carolina women (of course) made it to the finals. Hopefully they can take home their nineteenth title. Nineteen. Man.

What can I say? As DES once said, we're a women's soccer school that has a good basketball program.

Of course, Dean was joking, but to a large hunk of the population (young girls), that's actually true.
