ACCPerscription has posted Disney’s Advertising link for the ACC Network.  In general, I think this is good, that Disney and ESPN are really working on things with the ACC, but are we missing a bigger announcement? Clemson DJ Uiagalelei graded well against Furman, but how much does it mean? RubbingtheRock has its take. StateoftheU lists …

ACC Team of the Week : Duke – for a 31-23 win over Northwestern 14. Georgia Tech (1-1) Last Week : 14 Georgia Tech should be glad they got by Western Carolina 35-17 in a sloppy effort. There may not be another win on the schedule, though I think they find a way to win 1 …

Will NC State finally get that OOC victory that people pay attention to? For all the good work Dave Doeren and NC State have done over the last few years save the Covid 2020 season, they still haven’t won that OOC game under Doeren that caught people’s attention. There was the win over Notre Dame …

The ACC started the year with 5 teams ranked in the top 25, and two weeks later there are still 5 ranked teams (Clemson, NC State, Miami, Wake Forest, and Pittsburgh). Florida State and North Carolina are in the receiving votes category. The ACC desperately needed a respectable beginning to the football season. There have …

Wake Forest went up to Nashville and faced what some considered an improved Vanderbilt team. With Sam Hartman back, Wake Forest shut that down with an easy 45-25 over the Commondores. How did Wake Forest twitter to the return of Sam Hartman, and the comfortable victory? I don’t really want to hear “good win over …

Duke came into the season considered one of the two worst teams in the ACC. There were even whispers they could have a 1 win season. That’s all history now as Mike Elko took exactly one off-season and two games to make Duke look as good as they have in about 5 years. After a …

Louisville and Scott Satterfield were toast if they lost at UCF Friday. They opened the season with a listless performance at Syracuse, then headed to a tricky road game at UCF where they were underdogs, before facing the improved Florida State Seminoles. They were staring at an 0-3 start right in the face. Scott Satterfield’s …

ACCPerscription has their take on ESPN saying they have every “incentive” to help ACC revenues.   Tomahawknation says Florida State made a statement beating LSU. I would say so. BloggerSoDear is ecstatic with the return of Sam Hartman and details that here.  The exciting, but defensively challenged UNC TarHeels get their next game against Georgia State …

Who’s season will be over before it starts (Virginia Tech, Boston College, Louisville)?  There were three stunningly bad performances in the ACC last week. Virginia Tech in an embarrassing loss to Old Dominion. Boston College fell apart late against Rutgers. Louisville didn’t even bother to show up at Syracuse. An 0-2 start for any of …

Nearly 10 years ago, there was an ACC team that needed a miracle to beat LSU. The 4th and 16 play lives in Clemson lore, as the Tigers beat LSU 25-24 on December 31, 2012, and it was the beginning of the Clemson Tigers returning to the top of the college football mountain in 2016. …

I was not aware of just how many ACC road games were scheduled against G5 teams. It seemed like a lot, but I never looked at it compared to the other Power 5 conferences. Luckily ESPN media members did, and the consensus is clear – STOP DOING IT!   If you missed In Play yesterday, @ADavidHaleJoint …

You never want to close the door on a season after one game, but Boston College’s late game collapse against Rutgers has set the stage for a season on the brink after one game. In a critical 3rd year for Jeff Hafley to show progress, BC just made mistake after mistake after mistake. When they …

North Carolina fans take your jokes about their defense and show you their 2-0 start. Do you think Virginia Tech and Boston College wouldn’t trade their close losses for undefeated? FAMU moving the ball on the Heels last week was no fluke. We told you the Tar Heels had major major issues on defense. Today …

Ok, you know the saying #NCSheet. The art of losing the opportunity for a victory in the most unlikely, improbable, baffling way imaginable.  It even has an R rated entry in the Urban Dictionary.  There have been the Game-winning missed chip shot FG against Clemson in 2016, COVID rules eliminating NC State from the Final …
