As a fan, I’ve been there. Clemson losing 5 straight games to South Carolina from 2009-2013. Georgia Tech with multiple 5+ year losing streaks to Georgia.

Virginia took a tough loss Saturday to Georgia Tech. It was a hard fought 30-27 OT loss to the surging Jackets. More often than not the season all it takes is one loss for a fanbase to turn on their coaches. Virginia fans are smart enough to realize the program is right on schedule under …

Boston College These are becoming increasingly difficult to write. The fact of the matter is, the longest FBS bowl streak and winning season streaks are both likely to end this weekend (yes, shots fired Matt!).
