Just look at this week 1 college football schedule that was released today. I think I have a tear. Even the SEC East cellar dweller matchup between South Carolina and Vanderbilt is intriguing because it is game one of the season. With such highly anticipated week 1, 5 ACC teams are featured.

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans – you know that saying – it’s always five o’clock somewhere!! 😉 We rarely touch on political issues here, but this is one I’m going to touch on because ACC Commisioner, John Swofford, is handling it well.
