I’m late to this viral party, but I got good a laugh when I finally saw it. Those crazy football kids at UNC. Watch it until the ends the goats are really funny.

Today John Swofford was interviewed by Heather Dinich of ESPN. Some interesting comments in there about the ACC GOR and the possibility of an ACC Network. It’s worth a look… Become a fan of the ACC on Facebook and follow the ACC on Twitter

As I said earlier this week, blogging will be limited this while I’m on the road. There were a couple of announcements today that I want to touch on. First the SEC had their official release of their upcoming SEC Network. The most important part of the release for ACC fans? The network will also feature …

I’m on the road a good bit this week so posting for a few days will be limited and entries pretty short. That said one of the topics I’ve seen being asked since the ACC signed their GOR was what should be the priority the next couple of years? The GOR was great and certainly …

It’s been a little while since we’ve checked in with the ACC bloggers. We are going to resume Monday as our day to post this article. OK lets see what’s going on out there… How did Florida State lead the nation with 11 NFL Draft Picks? Let Tomahawknation tell you… With the SEC dominating the draft, …

Plenty has been written the last few days about the ACC and their new GOR deal. The reasons for the ACC doing this are obvious… to provide and prove the stability conference. Without ESPN though, I don’t believe a GOR is possible. As we’ve said, before the ACC schools all committed to a long term agreement, …

When you look at the NFL draft for the ACC it’s very telling. The ACC had the 2nd most NFL picks of any conference with 31. The SEC led the way with a whopping 63. For the ACC though that gives them the 2nd most NFL picks of any conference over the last 3 years, …

Friday a story appeared on CBS Sportsline that the ACC is considering playing game in Europe. My first reaction was WHUT THE? Then I remembered the Pac 12 was bouncing around the idea of playing in China, that Virginia and Oregon had already discussed the possibility of playing a football game Europe, and Notre Dame and …

On Monday we said it was time to give John Swofford his due in securing the ACC’s future. Depending on who you ask either John Swofford pulled the proverbial rabbit out of hat that saved an ACC that was weeks from imploding or the other train of thought, and the one I believed, that nobody was …

The NFL draft is this Thursday and to be honest with the ACC’s landmark GOR deal that I’ve blogged about, I haven’t been able to dig into this much. Thankfully the ACC’s Digital Network @theACCDN has it covered. Off to the right side bar you scan scroll through NFL draft previews for several ACC players …

When the ACC announced it’s 15 new members had signed a Grant of Rights it sent shockwaves through college athletics. Just like that expansion died… ok maybe not, who can predict the future? Let’s just say for the time being it’s been severely stunted to the point we have a real problem on our hands. How do …

Monday it was announced the ACC’s 15 future schools had signed a Grant of Rights. This effectively ends any further discussion of an ACC team leaving for the duration of the ACC’s television contract that runs through 2027. You can find the official announcement at theACC.com. For me as a fan of Georgia Tech and Clemson, …

With only a handful of spring games remaining across the country, I think its time to take a look at an early college football top 25. I can’t believe we are in the neighborhood of 4 months away from the college football season. It seems like an eternity. What’s better to do than some way …

On Friday the ACC released the future Notre Dame and ACC football schedule for the 2014-2016 seasons. Wasn’t it only a few months ago that critics of the partial membership deal said Notre Dame would never agree to such a deal, or that the Irish would create their own schedule? Yea about that… Considering …

Every once in awhile I’ll take a very personal interest in what I’m blogging about. When I saw on Georgia Tech’s official website that the Yellow Jackets were hosting a football clinic for International Students, I said it’s about freaking about time. Let me speak from personal experience, when I was at Georgia Tech, you …
