  Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Just a quick rant.  This is really terrible: .@TalkinACCSports and I loathe the shot gun, short yardage, run by the QB or RB because everyone on both sidelines, the spectators and officials in the building, and the viewers at home know exactly what is coming. I’m …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. I think it’s safe to say that many Virginia Tech alumni, fans, and friends of the university – and ACC sports fans will not see the Virginia Tech Notre Dame football game this Saturday night on the ACC Network.  Why?  Comcast is the largest cable provider in …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. By the way, congratulations to my NC State buddies – I know many of you all – and that was a big football victory today over Clemson.  I’m sure my friend, @TalkinACCSports, will have something about NC State on the blog. But – on another subject – …

  Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. I will be quick here – I know that Virginia Tech football isn’t going to change offensive coordinators – the more realistic option is to get some help with the offense.  Therefore, it’s time to hire Bobby Wilder in that Jerry Kill role – football offensive quality …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Be prepared for a rant. It is 2021 and the ACC is stuck with an extremely trashy television deal.  Yes, there is an ACC Network, but it seems to me that ESPN needs sort of a wild card TV time slot (For what it’s worth, I’m sure …
