Ok, this is a good example of disagreements that (I think) can be discussed respectfully on this board. I thought that FTRS' website has some content that is valuable. Others like Ibeeballin, whose opinion I respect and am thankful for his contributions to this site, have called them out. I...

Agree that the Q&A article reads like FTRS' staff writer Josh Brundage has a real ax to grind with CGC. I have read other articles from them that seem objective and even-handed, such as their recent Advanced Stats reviews. They point out both negatives and positives and thoughts about...

Disagree. Viewpoints are not discouraged, but posts that violate the rules (which everyone agrees to when registering) are. This includes spammy posts that read like someone has a bot set up to reply "9 in 3" to every other post.

I think our D has shown that they can hang with anyone for 3 quarters, but too many 3-and-outs will wear them down. Hoping the O can move the ball some in the second half.

It's early season but this is a bit concerning. While we no longer have a Megatron or Demaryius running routes for us, our WR are mostly tall, athletic players who should win many contested balls. Great deep dive into the stats, by the way.

After WCU I was concerned about our mobile QB defense. I didn't watch the OM games, but checked stats for clues as to QB mobility. Not much in the stats to indicate they run much. Dart had one long run against Troy, otherwise no OM QB contributed much to their running games in the first two...

This may be true. However, when I checked the actual majors of their current roster (https://gostanford.com/sports/football/roster) in the Texas vs Bama thread, I found that most have legit majors that seemed on par with most of our team.

Was curious so I checked the lists for Texas and Stanford. Both have a large percentage of Freshmen and Sophomores "undeclared". Of those with a major listed, Texas has quite a few athlete-friendly "exercise science" type majors. On the other hand, most of Stanford's team have majors that...

Just started working for me on ESPN+

I have DirecTV with ACCN as part of package. Get errors when trying to stream on ESPN+ or ACCNx. Can select another game like Pitt/Tenn, displays with no problem. Almost seems like some sort of configuration issue with our game.

Agree. What I saw (2nd half only) was that their OL is susceptible to pressure, but their DL can also apply pressure. They have some speedy athletes but their QB fared poorly last night. Also, both teams tried to give the other the game several times with costly penalties, drops, etc. Seemed...

I didn't see the game listed in Saturday's guide for the ACC network. RR.com schedule lists ACC Network extra/ESPN+ which is what @RonJohn suggested if you can watch via web.

Pretty good analysis, generally consistent with many observations already expressed in this thread. I wonder if our coaches read this stuff? There are some insightful takes on individual player performances and recommendations going forward. Maybe we will see some Clemson-performance-related...

@MonroeJacket posted essentially what I observed as well. While you can nit-pick things like punt coverage or Sim’s decision making on a couple of plays, I’m looking at the game using the “80/20” rule, that is, typically 20% of the issues make 80% of the difference in the game. In my opinion...

It's been a while so I thought this deserved a bump. Here's the report I just received: "This is the quarterly notification to inform you that AmazonSmile has made a charitable donation to the charity you’ve selected, Georgia Tech Athletic Association, in the amount of $342.50 as a result of...

I agree with this take. For example, ESPN could broker a deal, although they would have no interest (currently) in teams going to the B1G.

I think we are in agreement here. The only way that the lower-value teams in the ACC would agree to amend or dissolve the GoR would be if they all got a better deal as a result, and I don't see that happening unless ESPN goes into total panic mode.

Correct, the GoR is not about a certain amount of compensation, and no doubt the perception of the ACC would suffer if those teams left. But perception is not what is in the current contracts.

Right, which is why I'm thinking ESPN is really the entity calling the shots in any ACC-to-SEC moves. Which is why I said earlier, if I'm ESPN, why would I want to pay more than I already have contracted to pay for the premier teams in the ACC, even if they moved to the SEC? Now, if the move...

Interesting speculation, but I believe the GoR protects the ACC from diminished value. Essentially, if the media rights of the teams that leave are what determines their value, and those rights are retained by the ACC, then the ACC has no loss of value.
