The best College Football announcer ever…. Keith Jackson who passed away today. Especially later in his career when he only covered West Coast games, I’d switch over to listen to Jackson call a few minutes of game even if I wasn’t that interested in the participants. He was the voice of college football Saturdays to me. …

This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses …

If sportsbettingdime.com’s early 2018 Heisman Trophy odds are to be believed, next year won’t see the third ACC winner in the last six years. FSU’s Jameis Winston and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson won the award in 2013 and 2016, respectively, but heading into 2018, the top ACC candidate is Clemson’s senior QB, Kelly Bryant, at 25/1, …

Today a good friend of the blog @KilroyFSU, wanted to watched his Florida State Seminoles play the Louisville Cardinals in men’s basketball. He was in Jacksonville, Florida. Getting a bit concerned that this hotel in Jacksonville doesn’t have channel 4 which is where I think the FSU-Louisville game will be on. — KilroyFSU (@KilroyFSU) January 11, …

Well we are 2 days from NC State defeating Duke at PNC arena and the fan base is still in the afterglow, and we should be. This is a huge win for Kevin Keatts and shows what this team is capable of. NC State beat Duke without Markell Johnson (who’s pre-trial assault hearing was continued …

Due to a raging head cold for me, this will be a short post for tonight. Central Florida’s great season had many of us thinking, where did that season rank with other non-power Five teams of All Time? Athlon Sports ranks them in a pretty good list. Make sure you follow the All Sports Discussion …

Not surprisingly Louisville QB Lamar Jackson has decided to forgo his senior season at Louisville and turn pro. He will leave Louisville and the ACC as one of the best players the conference has ever seen. Here are some the Louisville records the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner will leave with. Lamar Jackson leaves Louisville with …

I don’t live in the state of Georgia currently, but I feel for my fellow Georgia Tech fans there. I’ve live in Georgia, and during normal times, it’s practically unbearable how much coverage the Bulldogs get in the state. They get many of the best HS players, sidewalk fans come out of no where. Even …

After a historic 2016 season that had an ACC team (Clemson) win the national title, Florida State win the Orange Bowl, and a 9-3 bowl record, there was only way to go and it was down. As I predicted last year, for the ACC to remain at the top of college football was unsustainable. If fact …

Central Florida just completed the greatest season in their football program’s history. They went 13-0 after beating Auburn 34-27 in the Chick-fil-A bowl, who by the way defeated both teams Alabama\Georgia who are playing the national title game. The Golden Knights are the only undefeated untied team in FBS football. Does Central Florida have an …

The rubber match between Alabama and Clemson turned into semi-mismatch Monday night. While Clemson’s defense basically gave a heroic effort limiting Alabama to 17 points despite the Tide starting the majority of their drives near midfield, the Tiger offense was a trainwreck. From the gameplan that started too conservative and was a mess throughout, to …

When you look at this past football season, how can you even think that a 9 win season, especially since there have only been 9 previous 9 win seasons in NC State history would be any but a success? But they way the season unfolded, you can see how disappointment of what could have been …
