In a spectacular collapse during a 48 hour period Dec 31-Jan 1, the myth of the SEC football was shattered. The myth that the rest of the country can’t compete with the SEC football is history. I’m not saying that the SEC is suddenly a bad football conference or that you’ll never hear from the …

If I hadn’t watched the 4th quarter, I wouldn’t have believed it. Pittsburgh blew a 31-6 fourth quarter lead. A collapse so spectacular it left most of us in disbelief. Here is what is scary though, Pitt fans weren’t shocked. In fact, it seemed as if they almost expected it. That’s why I love twitter, …

Georgia Tech saw an opportunity Wednesday night in the Orange Bowl, and they took full advantage of it. On the verge of the Jacket’s greatest season since the 1990 National Championship team, Georgia Tech had to go through a Mississippi St. team that spent a good portion of the year at #1. Not only did …

It’s almost time to celebrate a new year. A fresh start, a chance to carry out those resolutions, and 365 more opportunities for #goacc greatness. There wasn’t much #goacc in basketball circles this week, however, as most teams rounded out their non-conference slate to end 2014. 1 – Duke: Holy Toledo! The Blue Devils easily …

Louisville has been a welcome addition to the ACC. They added quality depth to ACC football. This year they went 9-4, that included a road win at 8-5 Notre Dame. They beat Kentucky helping the ACC to a 4-0 rivalry day record against the SEC. The season ended on a down note though after a …

Clemson put on a performance in the Russell Athletic Bowl that I didn’t think they were capable of. Winning wasn’t out of the question, winning 40-6 seemed like a virtual impossibility. Don’t tell that to the Clemson football team and coaching staff. Clemson had a complete performance. It was total domination. Oklahoma came into the …

I like Steve Addazio at Boston College. I think he’s the right man there, but make no mistake Boston College choked away the Pinstripe Bowl to Penn State. Up 21-7 late in the 3rd qtr, you have to feel pretty good when you are a power running team and have a QB like Tyler Murphy. …

Miami entered the season as the pre-season ACC Coastal Division favorite. I never understood that to be honest, but I guess the ACC Media saw something there. The schedule was always too tough, but they should have better than this. In the end, and if you’re being honest, the season was basically a disaster. The …

There are some teams in the ACC, where I don’t understand how they get so little out of their talent. Then there is Duke and David Cutcliffe. Duke should not have averaged 9.5 wins the last two seasons. The talent is improved, but they shouldn’t be able to play right there with Texas A&M last …
