The Atlanta Journal Constitution has reported the ACC Network Launch has been delayed. Many of us expected the launch to be in 2017, but it appears ESPN has asked for delay of a couple of years. I could try to sugar coat this news, and say oh it will launch in 2019 now, but can …

Georgia Tech entered the season as a darkhorse playoff contender, the massive injuries, inexperience, and just plain ole poor football had the team sitting 2-5, and 0-4 in the ACC.
