I’m the one who needs to change expectations on NC State Football.
We are one day removed from the NC State versus Syracuse game. A game, that in my eyes, was an absolute debacle. A game that I believed not one NC State fan should be satisfied with. Yet, what did I learn? That I was the only one that found the win to be disappointing. A …

Georgia Tech shows progress with much needed win.
The Georgia Tech football program under Geoff Collins can drive Jacket fans to the point of utter frustration. Is the team progressing? Is Geoff Collins really moving forward in his rebuild?

Josh Pastner tells fans to blame him for early losses… We will and we do.
Anyone that listens to our ACC podcast with @Hokiesmash_ASD and myself or reads this blog or follows me on twitter @TalkinACCSports knows I am not a fan of Josh Pastner.

What the CFP Selection Committee Taught Us: Strength of Schedule Still Matters
We had a lot of questions coming into the first CFP selection committee rankings this year. After all, 2020 is one of the strangest seasons in modern college football, because of the lack of an organized schedule and teams starting the year at different points. How would the committee judge different number of games …
