All else to the side, the "standings" of your fantasy would reduce the ACC to club football. Because ESPN and any other network would flee from a TV contract. (And I don't argue that club football is bad.)

Bristle a lot, do you?

Because it is, despite some of the crummiest management and increasing political interference possible, still a wonderful public university still providing a quality education for a still reasonable cost (yes, it is a relative judgment) and because it is possible to be both a quality educational...

I am not sure of that. I haven't studied the schedule but if Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame continue unbeaten -- and on a personal note I hope ND doesn't -- and Alabama and Georgia play for the SEC title, then I think Alabama could lose there and still get in the NC because of past...

As mad as they can make me, both UNC and the ACC need and deserve a strong football program in Chapel Hill. They have tried it all: a grad who came back with a good program that was clean but didn't win enough, then Butch Davis and his outlaw recruiter who could win a lot with more outlaws on...

Knock that off. I am headed your way Wednesday with my son, trying to pack light for the Little Big Horn, Deadwood, etc., and to check the progress on that huge Crazy Horse monument. I still have this romantic idea that I will be the one who figures out exactly what Custer did that afternoon...

Fedora has to have both feet out the door and hanging on to the door frame for dear life. He dodged his allotted share of bullets in the cheating scandal and has no moves left for the losing scandal. It's a bad team and a bad program and at Chapel Hill there is no excuse for either.

There is nothing like a convincing win over a rival of questionable virtue to flip the entire attitude of a message board, and it is rewarding to see. I had the feeling for a bit that there was a growing attitude to just lose everything and be done with it. But as somebody noted, we got the...

Quoting Mayor Johnson I believe it was, now who could argue with that? As to the salient point, however: Johnson won with players he inherited, but in a completely different offense and with a center he converted from defense. He had a QB who could not have played QB for any other team in the...

He's won with Gailey's, he's won with his. Every single coach at any sport who wins the first year is going to be accused of doing it with somebody else 's players. Which is how it works, after all. And he has had, you have to admit, some very good B backs, including a couple right now.

Actually -- and I thought the same thing -- Marshall mis-identified the defense at the line, or the "defensive front" according to Johnson. Result was the same but apparently he has some authority to change or modify a play at the LOS. I guess that is what all that scooting around the backfield...

Frankly I struggle with this one. When you rush for almost 600 yards and hang up 66 points, why would you think we "should" have thrown 12-15 passes? And it would have been 45-31 if you take away the 4th quarter points as well. But if we are playing take away, then take away Louisville's 14 4th...

And they still have Clemson in front of them. And Clemson though not adopting the Johnson run philosophy seems intent on establishing that crew of outstanding runners and throwing to loosen up for them. They threw a bunch of sideliners against Wake, apparently to get the safeties honest and...

who would guess Louisville fans, after all they have endured football and basketball, still have a sense of humor? And a pretty good one at that.

At the same time note that Johnson said after the game he had "simplified" the offense to shuck some of the apparent confusion away from it. There is still enough option there to make it entertaining, though.

It seems Johnson is a much better coach today than he was at 6 p.m. Friday.

Has anybody?

The thing was the ref is a Georgia guy and there was Searcy, doing the swan dive into the end zone. Brought back trauma.

Well, it is good to know that none of those things contribute to the game.

Stop making sense.
