There's a lot going on in Virginia sports these days and The Daily Progress' Bennett Conlin stops by to talk about some of it. Football, basketball, ACC media days, conference realignments, Olympics, a shared dislike of the Pack and of course, food and drink. Breaking a bit from tradition we start off with Conlin's favorite digs around Charlottesville and other ACC school towns. With long and sometimes weird hours a person has to eat and have a drink once in awhile. Take out your notepad especially if you're building your bucket list of restaurants to check out.

The insanity of conference realignment and how that may impact the ACC. Conlin shares his thoughts on teams he thinks make the most sense in adding and what they'll bring to the table. As a James Madison grad he tosses in some thoughts on how JMU can take advantage of all the changes as well.

When it comes to an overload of information the ACC media days (football in this case) exposes you to all of the teams in the conference in addition to multiple coaches and players. To top it all off you hear from ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips just as the realignment story is breaking so you get a feel for what may or may not be happening behind the scenes.

When you're talking about Virginia you can't simply over look the men's basketball team. We didn't and Conlin answers some key questions regarding offense playmakers and what they'll need to do this season.
