WHen I watch Miami I don’t see a team that’s often out-talented, or that the other team is clearly better. Miami loses becuase they have multiple fundamental breakdowns a game. Sometimes they can overcome them, …

Jeff Hafley was one of the ACC coaches said I said before bowl season needed a bowl win the most. Jeff Hafley is 21-26 (12-22) in 4 seasons at Boston College. They lost their last 3 games of the year to finish 6-6 and while I think Hafley is a good coach, the results scream …

6 Weeks ago, Louisville was 10-1, and a dark horse playoff team. Then there was a disastrous 2nd half to an average Kentucky team that sent Louisville to 10-2. The Cardinals never recovered. They couldn’t put up an an offensive TD against FSU, and then against USC in the Holiday Bowl, their defense was shredded …

The future of Virginia Tech football just got a little bit brighter after the total destruction of an 11-win Tulane football. Yes, Tulane was without the star QB Michael Pratt, and former HC Will Fritz is off to Houston. Still, that set up an opportunity for Virginia Tech. The Hokies took advantage.

Georgia Tech from 2019-2022 was 14-32. 2019 was a 3-win season. 2020 was a 3-win season, and 2021 was 3 win season.

Well, realignment is back again… I’ve purposely stayed away from the speculation during the football season, and it’s been refreshing. Unfortunately, some news can’t be ignored, and rampant legitimate reports of FSU readying to challenge the Grant of Rights can’t be ignored.
