The ACC is well represented, but only Virginia Tech is at a BCS Bowl.
NC State used four straight wins to end the season to move up the ranks and play in a bowl after Wake Forest, UNC, Florida State and Miami.
Maryland, Boston College and Georgia Tech will all play at the end of December after NC State, but before the BCS Bowls.

Canes fire Laviolette
After winning a Stanley Cup for the Carolina Hurricanes, GM Jim Rutherford has fired coach Peter Laviolette in favor of previously fired Paul Maurice.
While Laviolette may have been trying multiple strategies to win hockey games, it seems that was the best option for a team that looks lazy and slow in many of their games.
When the MVP of the all-star game from last year will barely (if at all) make the all-star game this year and the captain has one of the (if not the) worst +/- in the NHL, I'm not sure you can blame it on the coach. Add injuries and constantly changing rosters and you can understand some of the inconsistency.
Laviolette is a good coach that will find another job in the NHL and will be missed in Carolina.
The team will get better when they're healthy, but hopefully Maurice will be able to shake some apathy out in the meantime.

Not everyone lives in a blue state
After eight years of red states winning, 2008 shows that the country can be predominantly blue. There are obviously people always in the minority and they are some who are very scared with the direction of the country.
Here is the thought of one, "[Obama] wants to take our guns from us and create a socialist society policed by his own police force."
Perhaps we should make guns legal, but have custom ordered, personal bullets that only work in a specific gun? Seems like that technology should exist...
