The DJ Uiagelelei experiment at Clemson has failed. Saturday’s dismal effort by Clemson against South Carolina cemented this conclusion. Dabo Swinney loyal to a fault hitched his ride to DJ Uiagelelei, and it’s now cost him the end of the Clemson dynasty, the end of Clemson’s ACC Multi-year Title run, the longest home winning streak …

This is just a quick post for tonight, as I have an early wake up. Congrats to Florida State for defeating Florida 45-38. QB Jordan Travis was spectacular as he willed the Noles to victory. Mike Norvell is building. He is definitely building something in Tallahassee. FSU students taking to the field to celebrate with …

NC State had such high expectations coming into the season. Through bad luck, injuries, and poor play the Wolfpack went into their instate rivalry game with UNC 7-4. A 5-loss regular season would have been bitterly disappointing especially with arch-rival North Carolina just a week ago being 9-1 and your Coastal Division Champion. The Wolfpack …

It seems Georgia Tech’s football head coaching is down to two guys that have split the Jacket fanbase Coastal Carolina’s Jamey Chadwell and interim coach Brent Key. Honestly, I’m completely on the fence here, so lets have a little tale of the tape. Jamey Chadwell  Pros  Navigated Coastal Carolina as they became a FBS school. …

Can the ACC win the ACC/SEC Rivalry week?  Yes the ACC can certainly win it this year. Florida State will be a fairly heavy favorite against Florida. Georgia Tech will be a huge underdog against Georgia. Clemson will be favored against South Carolina, but that’s no gimme given the Gamecock’s recent thrashing of Tennessee. Louisville …

The Clemson Tigers received a gift Saturday from an unlikely source. The South Carolina Gamecocks just gave Clemson a path to the playoffs, with an out-of-nowhere beatdown of the Tennessee Volunteers. This completely eliminates the Vols from playoff consideration. Now I’m not arguing that Clemson is a playoff-caliber team. I can’t say that until I …

Before anyone says Georgia Tech won because Josh Downs dropped a TD pass in the final minutes – well that score wouldn’t have clinched the game, and it’s how you take advantage of breaks that decide games. After that play, Georgia Tech ran out the final couple of minutes by picking up necessary first downs …

Can NC State recover from the disastrous loss to Boston College? NC State losing to Boston College at home on their senior day is the worst conference loss in the ACC… period. Hokiesmash_ASD called in epically bad in a piece he wrote. It’s not even close. NC State had been resilient surviving the season-ending injury …

The Georgia Tech fan in me really appreciates what interim coach Brent Key did taking over the trainwreck that was Geoff Collins. Key initially won 2 straight games over bowl-bound Pittsburgh and Duke teams. Georgia Tech was actually in some bowl projections for a week in October. For the first time pre-Collins, there was an …
