Firstly, Whooooooooooo!
The Noles upset win against UNC in today's ACC tournament is something to celebrate, especially in the wake of the NCAA ruling that forced FSU to vacate wins in the wake of the academic cheating scandal. Being in the finals with Duke should be exciting- and not just because of my visceral dislike for the Blue Devils. Although the Seminoles were swept by Duke in the regular season, the games were both relatively close (the second one especially) and in them our team showed the ability to stay in the game with tremendous defense.
Secondly, although this blog primarily covers FSU sports, we will occasionally post things that relate to the sports world as a whole. With that in mind, here's an interesting article about Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) and Home Run output.

Even typcially rational Sabermetricians are often quick to speculate on whether or not steroids help boost home run totals- often times without scientific evidence to support their claims. Since we're dealing with chemicals that enhance biological processes with the aim of altering physical performance, I thought the views of an actual scientist might be welcome.
