  1. 5 GT opponents begin year in Top 25

    Take your 8 wins and divide by 2. Now subtract by 1 There you have it, a more likely scenario albeit an old story. I see Duke, WCU, and Virginia Tech as likely wins. UVA is a good possibility as well, the rest will be a pass and a prayer.
  2. 5 GT opponents begin year in Top 25

    True, UNC is "too talented to be too far away from the top 25 which begs the question: when have the Tar Heels not been talented? At least by our standards. All of those teams you mention are on the cusp of greatness and usually lose to teams that they should not be losing. Case in point...
  3. 5 GT opponents begin year in Top 25

    Big name for sure but the guys they replaced had "BIG" games to go with the big name. As you mention, could go either way. I would like to see Jeff perform behind Pitt's offensive line, it would be a sight to see.
  4. 5 GT opponents begin year in Top 25

    Just curious. Is UGA's schedule perceived to be more challenging than ours or easier? Never mind. I just checked. The Mutts schedule is easier and its not even close. Ridiculous.
  5. 5 GT opponents begin year in Top 25

    Sam may have dropped off because he was running for his life most of the season. He seldom had a clean pocket...kind of like Sims. I went back and watched our games with Pitt, Miami, and Virginia Tech. In all three losses, a common thread was that Sims had much less time to scan the field...
  6. Rank Your Excitement for 2022

    Boy howdy, you can bet that a win against Auburn means a lot to me. My wife's entire family are all "DYE HARD" Auburn fans. They still can't spell. When Reggie beat them twice, they couldn't believe it. Reggie Ball may not have played all that great against Georgia and Clemson but turn on...
  7. 5 GT opponents begin year in Top 25

    A little skeptical about Clemson being #4. Not too sure about Pitt and Ole Miss either. It is hard to replace really great quarterbacks that have carried teams like those two. That said, it is one of the most difficult schedules in the country...again. UNC got 34 votes? Another team losing...
  8. Rank Your Excitement for 2022

    For the record neither Alabama or Notre Dame has had a trifecta of 3 win seasons in modern times though Tyrone Willingham tried his best for the Irish. J.B. "Ears" Whitworth had three consecutive losing seasons at Alabama from 1955-1957 with a 0-10 record in 1955. He was replaced by Bear...
  9. Rank Your Excitement for 2022

    Want excitement? When some games. Beating Clemson, Ole Miss, or UCF would be a good start. A trifecta of 3 wins per season would put a damper on Notre Dame.
  10. Here's a thought

    Sometimes it doesn't really matter. Manny won 7 games last year with two of them over ranked opponents but he lost to FSU. I believe his fate was sealed when they lost to Florida International in 2019. He lost most of the fan base then and it was only a matter of time. The end of the year...
  11. ACC Preseason Poll 2022

    Just my opinion but we are not in as bad a shape just yet as we were in the late 70s and early 80s. Facilities were generally acknowledged as the worst in college football and talent was pretty low at most positions with virtually no depth. Bill Curry had himself in quite a pickle that took...
  12. ACC Preseason Poll 2022

    I agree with this but think you are a tad bit too hard on the Canes now. Manny appeared to have gotten the team turned around but fans wanted him gone so that was that. There is plenty of talent on that team. Enough to win the Coastal and perhaps, even beat Clemson for the ACC crown. It...
  13. ACC Preseason Poll 2022

    It is what they do. With the possible exception of UNC, Miami manages to squander more talent over the years than any team in the ACC.
  14. Athlon: ACC Coaches Talk Anonymously (2022)

    This is true but I have seen past years when the commentary was more complimentary or balanced than this year. It could be that there are simply more bad teams to trash than usual in the ACC. Virginia Tech, UVA, Duke Tech, Louisville, and Syracuse all have issues of one kind or another that...
  15. ACC Media Days

    Strange. That is what my wife said about me.
  16. ACC Media Days

    The absolute best in my limited experience was the quick post game radio commentary by Steve Spurrier when he coached at Florida. It was subtle and amazingly effective at deflating the "mighty Gators" as he called them when they were in danger of getting the big head after drilling some...
  17. Pre-Season Projected Starters

    This team will go as far as both lines will take them. Lots of question marks on both sides of the ball. This is Sims' time to show what he can do but he can't do anything running for his life. IIWII
  18. Collins says players have 'chip on their shoulder'

    Its funny, but Coach Dooley had quite a career back in your day doing just that. Georgia would just about always beat Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, South Carolina, people like that and then be competitive in the big games like Tennessee, Auburn, and Florida often times winning in an...
  19. Collins says players have 'chip on their shoulder'

    500 yards? That red haired boy was a latter day Archie Manning, if he is the one I am thinking about. Coach Collins will look back at that season and think that moment when we could have scored a TD instead of the field goal was when the 3-3 record and a chance to get to a bowl went out the...
  20. Collins says players have 'chip on their shoulder'

    Now I get it. That is the "chip" he is talking about. Seems like kind of a big chip to carry around. Maybe Zeke and another lineman can do it.
