ACC Football Kickoff

[zhavenor]

That Clemson record is wrong. I think it is 5-5.

Discounting the "forfeited" 09 acc champ game.

Ya I'll count that as a forfeit when the NCAA actually hands down a meaningful penalty to UNCheat. Basically never. NCAA can kiss my @$$ too.

Sugiura: At ACC Kickoff, Paul Johnson addresses schedule rule change


Lot of other good quotes. Here's one:


Also a great quote on Braun. Worth the full read.

I think we should start a gofundme account to pay for any future fines of CPJ. Truth hurts butthurt Swofford. Don't silence the CPJtruth. Preach it Paul.

Yeah I'm not really trusting these numbers. At the very least I remember losing a game to both FSU & NC State, so that's 2 Atlantic losses right there.

I think it might be regular season only. Because we've lost 2 to FSU in ACCCG but the only regular season one I can think of is NC state my freshman year.

I don't know if Parker will exceed what Shaq accomplished on the flats, but as of right now he is well on his way.

You're right. Georgia Tech. can't count it as a win and Clemson must count it as a loss. But, the NCAA has no jurisdiction as to my right to communicate and I know the truth is Paul Johnson is 5-5 vs Dabo Swinney.

I mean, the rolling ball of butcher knives thing is about the greatest compliment ever.

Not a representative cross-section but thought this was still interesting
Survey says: ACC players sound off on numerous topics

Which team has the coolest stadium?

“Georgia Tech. it’s cool. It’s got all the tall buildings in the background.”-- Walton [Miami RB]

What is the craziest thing a fan has said to you on social mmedia?

“Can I go back to high school? This one is a little different. It’s not something somebody said. It was, like, a Tuesday night high school basketball game. We’re playing in this basically empty gym. They have a student section of, like four people. There is one kid there just reading my tweets out to the crowd for the entire first half. I had the worst first half I have ever played, and this guy is just sitting there reading my high school tweets.” -- Fields


LOL

Kinda shameful on us Tech fans not to even get a mention as a tough place to play. But immnot at all surprised. Vast majority of gameday fans sit on their hands all game and rarely yell...even on 3rd down for defense. We have a horrid game day crowd.

I really don't care very much about what colors fans wear in the stands. They could wear any color but the opposing team colors so long as they would just show a little bit of life. We aren't even the walking dead anymore...we are the sitting dead.

This. Anytime I have good lower seats I usually get asked to sit down multiple times. In the upper deck people tend to be a little more my tempo.

I think Miami has a number of big questions to answer. They have to find replacements quarterback Brad Kaaya, wide receiver Stacy Coley and tight end David Njoku on offense and DB Corn Elder. They have two good running backs and will be tough on defense, so I am not saying all is lost. But Kaaya was the heart of their attack and there is no one with any experience to replace him.

Similarly, Virginia Tech has to replace much of their offense and will have to win games with their defense. VT opens their ACC schedule at home vs. Clemson, but has Miami and Tech on the road.

It will be interesting to see if any of the top three in the Coastal can slide through with only two ACC losses. Nobody really stands out.

There are a few islands of really awesome fans....but they are unfortunately not large islands. Thankfully I'm located near a good one in sec 101.
