What the *$@!%&# happened to Clemson in the Orange Bowl?

Categories:

by Jfann

I’m not a negative guy. I don’t like to write negative blog posts, but each ACC bowl game result seemed to get worse as the post season continued. Teams that lacked effort, questionable coaching decisions close losses, blowouts, on and on, but the bottom fell out Wednesday night in one spectacular meltdown by the Clemson Tigers …

In Sugar Bowl loss and season, it’s the same old story for Virginia Tech.

Categories:

by Jfann

When you’re Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech, the standards are different for you from the rest of the ACC. The Hokies have been the ACC’s top program since expansion. There is no debate about that… None. Again the Hokies won 10 or more games, and again the Hokies went to the ACC Title game. That’s …

Virginia Tech and Clemson hold the ACC’s reputation in their hands.

It’s been a rough bowl season for the ACC… again. The conference is sitting at 2-4 in the bowl season, and as SouthernTimeGirlsandSports writes it’s now or never for the ACC. I can’t disagree. Florida State came through with a hard fought win over Notre Dame and NC State took care of business against Louisville, and …

Despite Chick Fil A Bowl loss, future is bright for Mike London and Virginia.

Categories:

by Jfann

Some bowl losses are easier to swallow than others. For Virginia fans I think this is one of those times. A 43-24 loss to Auburn in the Chick Fil A Bowl is not how you want to end the season, but Virginia fans have a lot to feel good about. They also know exactly where …

Disastrous 4th quarter in Sun Bowl loss ends Paul Johnson’s honeymoon at Georgia Tech.

Categories:

by Jfann

How does an 8-5 season feel like a huge letdown? When you lose 5 of your final 7 games, including a 3rd straight loss to your in-state rival and lose a mind boggling 7th straight bowl game. Up 24-10 in the fourth quarter Georgia Tech was minutes from changing the perception of their entire offseason. …

Florida State shows plenty of heart and toughness in Champs Sports Bowl win over Notre Dame.

Categories:

by Jfann

Florida State beat Notre Dame 18-14 Thursday night in the Champs Sports Bowl. Sounds like a hard fought good victory for the Seminoles. Oh but it was so much more for the Noles. Sometimes the Box Score doesn’t tell the whole story of a game. This was of the gutsiest grittiest wins you’re likely to …

After Belk Bowl Win, NC State’s Tom O’Brien proves doubters (like me) wrong.

Categories:

by Jfann

I’m going to be the first admit, I haven’t really cared for Tom O’Brien during his time at NC State. I felt he had underachieved in his first 3 seasons with losing seasons in each one. This wasn’t what O’Brien was brought to Raleigh to do following the departure Chuck Amato. He made coaching at …

ACC off to rough Bowl Start after UNC embarrasses itself.

Categories:

by Jfann

Every year is a struggle for the ACC to gain respect nationally football. Each bowl season though is an opportunity for the conference to prove the detractors wrong. Unfortunately when a performance like the one Monday occurs in North Carolina’s 41-24 loss to Missouri all UNC and ACC fans can do is shrug their shoulders. …

Everyone enjoying their Christmas festivities this weekend? I hope so… I have one last Christmas wish and that’s for the BCS to go away. It isn’t necessary to go through the litany of reasons why this system is one big joke, but let’s just say there wasn’t the BCS. How good would any of these …

I’ll be honest; I don’t make it a habit of writing complimentary articles about the Mark Richt and the Georgia Bulldogs. How can I? They’ve caused me a decade of utter frustration as nearly every November ends with Georgia Tech losing to Georgia. In this case, though I have to defend some of the actions …

Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech “must” beat Utah in the Sun Bowl.

Categories:

by Jfann

Georgia Tech heads into their Sun bowl game with Utah with an 8-4 record. By most estimations the Yellow Jackets slightly over achieved this season following a forgettable 6-7 2010. Most folks had the Jackets going 6-6 or 7-5. They started the year a surprising 6-0, but that’s when things started going south. Remember it’s …
