AT LEAST ONE ACC TEAM DESERVES APPLAUSE

  Briefly told … quickly ... So, howabout them Hurricanes? Guess they belonged in  the playoffs after all, eh? Win or lose in the final, Miami  gave the ACC much-needed respect … If only, if only …  coach  MARIO CRISTOBAL  hadn’t given his team an  instant excuse by making sure everyone understood his  players were ravaged by the flu. Oh, and take that Ole  Miss! By the way … what was all that stuff about SportsCenter  anchor  SCOTT VAN PELT  and asking Cristobal a  question he didn’t want to answer? Then making a  shallow inquiry that sounded more like a sideline reporter.  “What are you most proud of … tonight?” Yuk! A 6-6, 322-pound offensive tackle,  LOGAN  HOWLAND , is coming to Virginia Tech via the transfer  portal from Oklahoma. He has two-year’s eligibility  remaining. Manchester United, unaccustomed to being an also-ran  nin the English Premier (Soccer) League, dumped coach ...

JONES CALLED UP AGAIN BUT DOESN'T PLAY ... AND SABRES ALMOST BLOW 4-0 LEAD

  Of Things Hockey and Football ... Their franchise-record-tying 10-game winning streak  ended 5-1 by Columbus, the Buffalo Sabres should be  active in the trade market, still hoping to prove the critics  wrong by snapping an NHL record of 14 straight years  without qualifying for the playoffs. Who knows, they  might even move Richmond’s  ZAC JONES  who leads  AHL Rochester in scoring (30 points, 28 assists in 28  games)… as a defenseman, believe it or not. Jones was recalled by the Sabres Tuesday (Jan. 6) in time  for a night game at home with the Vancouver Canucks. It  marked the third time the 5-11, 190 pounder had been  summoned … and he still hasn’t suited up for the parent  club.  In two previous callups, Jones spent the entire time as a  healthy scratch – Oct. 19-21 and Nov. 7-14. He signed a  two-way contract with Buffalo as a free agent July 3. The  Sabres put Jones, 25, on waivers Sept. 2...

BUNCH OF STUFF: SO YOU WANT TO BE A COLLEGE COACH?

  Powhatan High School all-state wideout  BEN  WHITVER  said he de-committed to James Madison U.,  “due to recent coaching changes,” and announced  Saturday (Dec. 27) he will attend Penn State instead. JMU named ex-Florida coach  BILLY NAPIER  to  replace UCLA-bound  BOB CHESNEY  Dec. 4, a day  after Whitver actually signed a NIL contract to play for  the Dukes. More than three weeks later he changed his  mind (officially, that is), then taking fewer than 24 hours  to join the Nittany Lions of new coach  MATT  CAMPBELL . Not that anyone was all that surprised. Although he  committed to JMU prior to the start of his senior season,  Whitver had been a frequent visitor to Penn State in 2024  when  JAMES FRANKLIN , now at Virginia Tech, was  in charge. Franklin reportedly made an offer to Whitver but, before  details could be finalized, he was fired five games into the  20...
