Lucas Glover’s U.S. Open victory was certainly a shock to most sports prognosticators, but what may be more surprising is just how few majors a talent-rich league like the Atlantic Coast Conference has produced over the last 21 years.

The Florida Gators had quite a sports season in 2006-07 when the Gainesville, Fla., school became the first big-time college program to hold national championship trophies for basketball and football at the same time.
Now, with the start of the College World Series this weekend, the North Carolina Tar Heels have something to say about who has logged the South’s best college sports season over the last 25 years.

If you’re getting good odds, go with a player from either team that played his college ball in the South. Throw out two years that Tom Brady horned in on the award, and six MVPs this decade have come from Dixie schools. The Mannings captured the last two (Eli, Mississippi) and (Peyton, Tennessee) while Hines Ward won it in 2006 (Georgia) with Deion Branch (Louisville), Dexter Jackson (Florida State) and Ray Lewis (Miami) rounding out the decade.

I still had about 48 hours to make up my mind on which of the nation’s top three gunslingers I would select for college football’s most prestigious award. But those of you who know me well understand I’m far from a procrastinator. So, with no more regular-season games, league title contests or trumped-up BCS television specials left to sift through, why wait? I let my vote fly today without fear of E-mail interception or Internet scrutiny.

Rarely do I get excited about amateur golf. It’s like football recruiting to me: A lot of hype and usually not much substance. So and so is the next Tiger Woods or Annika Sorenstam. How many times have we heard that overblown proclamation in the last two decades from followers of junior golf?

Are we back to the good ole days in Major League Baseball where a base hit is really worth something and going from first-to-third on a single to right field is about good base running and hustle?

Get up you couch potatoes! There has never been a better time to head to the gym, take a walk around the lake or earn some brownie points with your woman through a weekend trip to the mall to shop for shoes.
We can thank Tiger Woods for all the free time.

Coming in October: The Swimsuit Series |

Forget about the Subway Series. How about the Swimsuit Series? As in the Florida Marlins vs. the Tampa Bay Rays. I know, I may be getting a little bit carried away in mid May, but one-quarter of the way through the baseball season the “lowly” Marlins, with their measly $21.8 million payroll, and the Rays, with their new nickname and group of young and fearless position players, sit atop their respective divisions, tied for the second-best record in the majors.
