So the ACC officially has invited the Pittsburgh Panthers and the Syracuse Orangemen to the conference. I like the additions of Pitt and Syracuse and I found this to be a necessary and forward thinking move commissioner John Swofford and the ACC.

The Clemson Tigers have started the season 2-0, but doubts about Dabo Swinney and the direction of Clemson Football program remain. The Tigers have not played well to open the season. Clemson went to the half of games with Troy and Wofford either losing or tied. These were the type games specifically against Wofford that Clemson should …

Week 1 of the College Football Season is in the books. The story of week in the ACC seems to be the uniforms the Maryland Terrapins wore on Monday night’s primetime game with Miami. I’ll be honest at first I thought my goodness, those are awful, especially the helmets. I kind of liked the classic …

There seem to be two things that come up every college football season. One is that Boise St. isn’t one of the very best football teams in the country and the other is that LSU Les Miles isn’t one of the best coaches in college football. You know they are out there. The doubters even …
