If you follow me on twitter or read the blog, you know I almost never complain officiating. Even with the teams I root for, I don’t do it.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has reported the ACC Network Launch has been delayed. Many of us expected the launch to be in 2017, but it appears ESPN has asked for delay of a couple of years. I could try to sugar coat this news, and say oh it will launch in 2019 now, but can …

College Basketball sure did sneak up on us didn’t it? For the ACC, it’s like the glory days of the conference. Duke is the defending national champion. UNC is a pre-season top 5 team. Virginia should be very good, and the conference could boast 8 or 9 NCAA tournament teams, after dominating last year’s Big …

The conferences are so close I can barely separate them. You know what that means, you better not lose 2 games, and no conference is getting two teams into the playoff. Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – you’re most recent OOC results count a lot, and you’ll see me reference …

Georgia Tech entered the season as a darkhorse playoff contender, the massive injuries, inexperience, and just plain ole poor football had the team sitting 2-5, and 0-4 in the ACC. They were an afterthought, a forgotten team, and a disappointment. At least that’s what the rest of us thought…. Heck I went to Georgia Tech, …
