Is it dishonest to use Clemson in the title if I’m not actually eliminating them this week? I don’t think so. Clemson, after all, will be the focus of our discussion. As I’ll look at in more detail in the charts, there are a whole bunch of two-loss Power 5 teams I’m not eliminating yet. …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. By the way, congratulations to my NC State buddies – I know many of you all – and that was a big football victory today over Clemson. I’m sure my friend, @TalkinACCSports, will have something about NC State on the blog. But – on another subject – …

DURHAM – Duke’s rebuilding football program went into a victory formation to finish of Northwestern 30-23 Saturday night at Wallace Wade Stadium. Actually, three straight kneel-down snaps to expire the clock. That has been considered the most convincing sign yet that Duke can end a two-year bowl drought after a dismal 2-9 season. Duke led …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. I will be quick here – I know that Virginia Tech football isn’t going to change offensive coordinators – the more realistic option is to get some help with the offense. Therefore, it’s time to hire Bobby Wilder in that Jerry Kill role – football offensive quality …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Be prepared for a rant. It is 2021 and the ACC is stuck with an extremely trashy television deal. Yes, there is an ACC Network, but it seems to me that ESPN needs sort of a wild card TV time slot (For what it’s worth, I’m sure …

In a year where who will the ACC’s biggest challenger to Clemson is a clear question, why not NC State? Miami highly ranked has spent that last year, getting plastered by every good team they played. North Carolina had an opportunity in Blacksburg in week 1, and promptly face-planted at Virginia Tech. The Hokies certainly …

Georgia Tech came into the season with a brutal schedule, but there was hope of looking more competitive and maybe even making a bowl game. The Jackets had to take advantage of every oppurtunity for a win. Tonight against a Northern Illinois team that had not won a game in nearly two years as a …

Ok you can say UNC was overrated. They were, but you can’t take away from the performance of the Virginia Tech Hokies. That was a still a future NFL quarterback in Sam Howell they were facing with an experienced offensive line coming back. The Hokies man-handled that unit upfront, and defensively played a game that …
