Some Short Items

-- Lee Fowler wasn't the only one who got a contract extension yesterday:

Rollie Geiger, in his 25th season as Pack cross country and track and field coach, was given a contract extension through 2010. Geiger recently was named assistant athletics director for track and cross country.

That's great news.

-- Baseball washed out the bitter taste from the GT series by beating UNCW yesterday.

Through Sunday's games, the runs scored/allowed differentials for the 12 ACC teams look like this (includes non-conf games):

 RS RA Diff ExpW ActW
FSU 400 163 237 37 37
UVA 335 132 203 37 33
UNC 322 148 174 35 33
NCSU 292 167 125 31 27
Clemson 215 150 65 26 26
Duke 281 228 53 25 25
GT 280 228 52 24 26
UMD 285 238 47 25 23
Miami 259 224 35 24 25
Wake 279 264 15 23 22
BC 204 260 -56 14 16
VT 219 282 -63 15 17

That doesn't include any adjustments for schedule strength, but you get a decent idea where the teams stand.
