That is pretty much spot on with emphasis on "marginal" for NC State. I thought though that the comments were pretty respectful of the job being done at BC and Wake. More and more, I appreciate how smart Jimbo Fisher was to leave FSU because it is a mess right now even with the talent they have.

It reminds me of the old Big 8... "Oklahoma and the Seven Dwarfs" Clemson is miles ahead of everyone else. Miami can't catch them, UNC can't, it is a one team show. As for Tech, we remain sort of middling to near the bottom according to these coaches, if you read between the lines but ahead...

We should beat Northern Illinois, Kennesaw, and Duke. After that...it gets dicey. Maybe one or two wins out of Pitt, Virginia Tech, UVA, and BC (although some expert picked BC as this year's dark horse surprise team in the ACC, take it for what its worth) I am not optimistic about UNC, Miami...

I don't know about reading articles, I do know that winning three or four games a year ain't getting this bus moving.

I would rather have the three guys Georgia got but that is just me.

I don't pretend to know anything about the ins and outs of the transfer portal other than the guys you got coming "in" had better be better than the ones going "out". That said, college football news had this series of articles entitled "21 for 21" where they list various things based on coming...

I don't think Mississippi State could even get to the "Mississippi" part this year much less the "1". The genius of the mad scientist at Mississippi State can only go so far. Funny you mention him. The very first time I saw him was the first game of his breakout season against Florida...

Good question but I meant a hypothetical "Anyteam U" that has an exciting offense, scores lots of points, thrills and chills but has no chance of making the playoffs and everyone knows it because of the defense or lack of a sound running game or depth at most positions or something. Lots of...

You can still have an entertaining, good team without superlative line play but it is what separates the elite factory teams from everyone else. Of course, they also have great quarterbacks, receivers, running backs and everything but if you entertain ideas of joining the best of the best the...

I am pretty gullible when it comes to Tech football but I will believe it when I see it.

Yep and that was the beginning of the end for Randy Shannon. Some programs can afford mistakes like that, but the number of programs that can do so, is getting smaller and smaller. The margin for error in college football is going to decrease moving forward as there will be fewer fans in the...

If line play on both sides of the ball does not improve then none of this matters. We will remain at or near the bottom of the ACC.

I never posted that I would be "happy" with a 4 or 5 win season, it is what I expect but that is just me.

That's nice...they can't get much worse.

My happiness has nothing to do with me expecting 4 wins...winning 3 games in each of the last two years, watching Sims run for his life while receivers can't get open, playing 5 top 20 teams this season, looking pretty bad against Pitt in the last game, all of that as well as other factors lead...

The problem with the offense is not Sims, it is just about everyone else. If the blocking improves we will be better. If the defense improves, we will be better. If neither of those things are better, it won't matter how good Jeff is because he cannot do it by himself. It is true that...

Of course by 1999, Hamilton had left those stats in the dust. During the course of his Heisman campaign, Joe led Tech to a number 8 ranking, and at the time of the UNC game, Tech was averaging over 500 yards a game good for #1 in the country, well over 250 yards per game rushing good for #7 in...

I have no idea if this optimism is warranted. I will say after watching several games from 1998 and 1999 that Joe Hamilton went through a similar transformation. In an interview prior to the 1999 game with NC State or UNC, can't remember which, he said the game slowed down from 150 mph. to 50...

Right now, I must say that being "competitive" is not what I am looking for...winning ball games is what I am looking for. Another season of three wins and this program will be drifting close to being irrelevant even in the Coastal which is pretty disheartening as fans of Duke, Vanderbilt...

Only because he was "looking" for one.
