The ACC has released their football schedule for 2017, and I have some gripes. Don’t worry there are some things I like, but in this piece it is the gripes. 1. Louisville/Clemson and FSU/Miami on the same date (September 16, 2017) I have a big problem with this one. The ACC was the country’s top …

Where did Georgia Tech come up with a 22 point blow out of #6 Florida State? Georgia Tech blog FromtheRumbleSeat was understandably pretty excited about the game and the Yellow Jackets season that has so far has exceeded expectations.
