I think these results speak for themselves. Tremendous rating numbers for an ACC football game. These numbers won’t hurt those ACC Network discussions with ESPN. Louisville continues to look like one of the biggest coups of the expansion era, and of course a college football playoff contending Florida State brings in the national interest. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2014/10/florida-state-at-louisville-highest-overnight-rating-on-espn-this-season/ …

Well, Week 9 in the ACC was interesting. We had the Hokies get destroyed in their return to Thursday night football by Miami, Pittsburgh fumbled the football at home giving up 28 points in the 1st quarter, and UVA has gone from 2-0 to 2-2 in the ACC in the blink of an eye. Week …

I didn’t watch much live football because I was raising money for Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center.

As I watched Miami crush Virginia Tech 30-6 Thursday evening, the more the game went on the more it reminded of a similar demise of a once great program. Back in 2006, the decline of Florida State was unmistakable. There were whispers that legendary coach Bobby Bowden should be replaced. After Florida State suffered a …

Well the ACC picked up its third OOC win over team ranked in the top 10 when they played them this year when Florida State beat Notre Dame. That leads all power 5 conferences. ESPN’s ACC coverage felt the need to rip the conference after this great win. I’m all for fair criticism, but that article …
