The ignorance of things ACC by people who should have a clue is amazing to me.(From College Football Scoreboard on Saturday night)
"Bowling Green has just beaten Maryland 42-24. That's bad news for the ACC."
^All you need to know about ESPN's ACC expertise.
I still remember a few years back Chuck Oliver the self-styled king (or kang) of college football was talking about the ACC and tried to list the teams in the two divisions Atlantic and Coastal. He completely butchered them. He was doing a show alone also so there was not even the chance that someone would help him. I remember he could not convince himself that VT and Tech were in the same division for one, and I know this was after (maybe the year after) goal posts came down in Atlanta when Tech beat VT.
The part that made me basically stop listening to sports talk radio for good, however, was that he could not have cared less about his ignorance. He could not be bothered to just pull up the conference on his computer so that he could sound halfway intelligent let alone professionally competent.
