There are many meaningless bowl results, and then there are bowl results that matter. Georgia Tech from 2019-2022 was 14-32. 2019 was a 3-win season. 2020 was a 3-win season, and 2021 was 3 win season. All this was under Geoff Collins who drove Georgia Tech football to its lowest point since the 1980s. Brent …

Well, realignment is back again… I’ve purposely stayed away from the speculation during the football season, and it’s been refreshing. Unfortunately, some news can’t be ignored, and rampant legitimate reports of FSU readying to challenge the Grant of Rights can’t be ignored. There’s a lot of nonsense to sift through, but @ADavidHaleJoint reasonably speculates the …

It’s been over two weeks since Florida State was snubbed of its rightful spot in the College Football Playoff. We’ve seen media outrage, fan outrage, and even congressional outrage. Sure it won’t change the outcome, but now is the time to voice your displeasure at a flawed system. Even if the playoff is changing next …

We ask the three biggest ACC basketball questions for this week. Does Duke right the ship against Baylor? Duke has been a bit of a disappointment this year. Outside of Michigan State who have had their own struggles, they’ve lost to every decent team they’ve played this year. They haven’t been good on the glass …

Even with all the opt-outs, transfers, lack of credibility, and arguably integrity to the college football post-season the games must go on. They still will be in the record books and for some coaches and programs, they are more important than others. Which three ACC football coaches need a bowl win the most? This is …

Good morning, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Both @TalkinACCSports and I have been pretty high on Clemson this year (see Jeff’s ranking rankings here). They are not having any of those moments that Brad Brownell is known for, like losing to Towson (which was a legit team – but Clemson could never lose to …

Good evening Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. I was seriously wondering if it was a misprint when I saw Pat Forde’s Sports Illustrated article dropping Sportsman of the Year (and it should be Sportsperson of the Year) for Deion Sanders. Like I was actually seriously wondering if Forde misspelled Coco Gauff’s name wrong when …

ACC Prescription has some ideas if you think FSU got the playoff snub (which of course they did) of how to stick it to the various potential responsible parties like ESPN. Tomahawknation talks about the dangerous precedent the College Football Playoff committee set with leaving FSU out of the playoffs. Clemson basketball is exceeding all …

We ask the three biggest ACC basketball questions for this week. Does Clemson lose their first game this week? Clemson has been the ACC’s most consistent and I would say best team. At 9-0, they will lose a game eventually. Will it be this week? They get a NCAA Tournament caliber opponent in Memphis on …

Welcome to Michigan State, President Kevin Guskiewciz. I’ve been told you have a high school and college journalist background. We have that in common, although upon further review I recognize your post-college career leaves me trailing your brain power like a nose tackle chasing a speedy tailback. The further review was I learned that prior …
