I am astonished that no University of Miami fan has written concerning the change with Notre Dame entering the ACC. How is it possible for a school to enter all sports with the exception of football and at the same time be eligible for all ACC bowls?
They are keeping their TV contract and would also knock out other ACC teams who are ranked lower than they are for a bowl game. No other team including the pros would manage to obtain these results, and it stinks.

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and freed all remaining slaves. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — which had become official on Jan. 1, 1863.
Re the June 16 story Miami couple saddened after bee hive destroyed: It must have been a slow news day for the Miami Herald. This article took up two-thirds of a page in the newspaper’s local section.
An experienced bee keeper could have moved the beehive to a less troublesome location; perhaps on the couple’s property where they could continue to enjoy the bees and the bees could continue to do their good work.
