ACC Football: Week 2

[Bob Green]

Carolina 21, Charlotte 13 early in 3rd quarter. The Charlotte touchdown made this game interesting.

At first glance, Cal looks like a team that could pull off some nice upsets, but will probably lose a good number of games because they shoot themselves in the foot.

Your assessment is uncannily accurate. My wife, a Cal grad and Cal football fan, says this is pretty much right every year.

Unfortunately Cal doesn’t get to play against the Stanford band every game…

Add in Duke’s win and Pitt beating Cincy and it has been a solid weekend for the conference. Now if State beats Tenn, then we are talking!

Wake Forest looks good up 17-3 on Virginia.

Good start to the Clemson game. Two snaps and a TD pass on the 3rd snap.

Goes pretty high on the list of statements that I was sure I would never, ever hear.

Tennessee just seems way more dangerous than State- I will be surprised if State wins or really even comes very close

That pick six at the end of the half was killer.

Or the 3 it's scored could be as well.

Clemson 56 points in the 1st half?

What is that smell coming from Mecklenburg County?

I'd volunteer to answer,but I'm too busy panicking

I've got a thought for a new mascot.

Uhhh, it's such a great idea that someone beat you to it. However, unlike Oregon's use of Donald Duck, I don't think is sanctioned.

Well last I checked, Yosemite isn't in Texas

I can't imagine Texas Tech is going into a legal battle with Warner Bros.-Discovery over it. However, WBD's stock is so far in the tank they won't be able to raise funds on the capital markets to put up much of a defense.

I wasn't sure what the best thread was to post this:

'Oh, s---, here come all the billionaires': How SMU came back from the dead

The Mustangs received the NCAA's "death penalty" in 1987. But a group of boosters is determined to return the program to glory.

www.espn.com

There are a LOT of great quotes in that article. But the one that leaped out at me was the one referring to the period where SMU was bad at football, and wasn't committed to the program:
"The average student SAT score went down a hundred points. That's how much a draw major college athletics are at a school, especially in Texas."
