Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Just a quick post here. The Virginia Tech Athletic Department just released men’s basketball home schedule (h/t @VTPromotions) and I have a few observations on that: Virginia Tech will welcome back Ace Custis as the University of Maryland at Eastern Shore pays a visit to Blacksburg (unfortunately, …

Why am I discussing conference power rankings? Well because as teams start playing each other in their conference, the strength of a conference determines the quality of your wins as the playoffs approach. It matters so let’s get right into it. Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – you’re most …

So, let’s talk briefly (I’ll get out of my #ACC hat and go homer here for a minute): 1.) There are some positives: Virginia Tech had more total yards on offense than Tennessee. The play calling was as good as I’ve seen in many years. The Hokies actually have an offensive system. 2.) It was …

Here is something I did not expect to be asking after 2 games this year. What is wrong with Clemson’s offense? Against Auburn last week, I said there was no need to apologize for the poor offensive performance. Auburn recruits well. They have plenty of talent along the defensive line, and they were playing at …

Pat Narduzzi was universally hailed as a good hire at Pittsburgh. His 8-5 opening season didn’t disappoint either. It was a season that included a win at Virginia Tech and a home win against Louisville. Today provided Pat Narduzzi an opportunity to get a signature win over in-state arch rival Penn State. The Panthers came …

This past weekend the myth of SEC football received it’s final nail in the coffin. You know the one – Just about all the best college football players, best coaches, and best college football teams reside in the SEC. Your non-SEC football team? It can’t compete, because it doesn’t have a SEC defense or SEC speed. It’s been …

For 25 minutes, Florida State looks lost, confused, and unprepared. There was penalty after penalty. The Seminole’s offensive line was getting manhandled. Chad Kelly was shredding the FSU secondary to pieces. Then the Noles in a shocking turn of a events simply flipped a switch scoring 33 straight unanswered points. From down 28-6 to leading …

Editor’s Note: SEC Logo game from publicly available Pinterest space. Good evening from Minnesota, Atlantic Coast Conference sports fans. Hope you all are enjoying your Labor Day Weekend. If you’re like me, you overdosed in a good way on college football’s first weekend (yours truly was up until 2:30 AM CST watching a weather-delated …

Let the questions begin. What is wrong with Clemson? Is Deshaun Watson ok? What happened to the offense? Well nothing really. Auburn is pretty tough at home. Their worst loss at home in the last 3 years was a 16 point defeat to Alabama last year. Every other loss was single digits. Clemson led Auburn …

North Carolina let a major opportunity to gain national respect slip away against the Georgia Bulldogs. Make no mistake, Georgia is one of the most talented teams in the country. 4 and 5 star athletes dot that lineup all over. It’s never been a talent issue with Georgia, it’s been a coaching issue. North Carolina …
