Happy Veterans’ Day to all the actual soldiers out there.

The Entire Nike Pro-Combat uniform collection, sloganized. A must have for every jersey whore. We took a look at the Hokies’ “Good Guys Wear White” inspired duds yesterday and we stated it could’ve been worse. We were right, click the link and check out LSU, FSU and Miami.

Eye-Gouging revisited. Tomahawk Nation busts out the video and still evidence of Clemson’s Andre Branch digging into David Spurlock’s facemask with what looks to be an attempt at the eye-rake. We didn’t agree with the Brandon Spikes’ suspension and we don’t agree with FSUncensored calling for Branch to be shelved. Take it away Willy Mac.

Ok, yes. It’s very obvious that Branch was being a dick and getting a little extra in after the play. That wasn’t eye gouging though. He may have tried, but it didn’t happen. He was definitely ripping at his neck, but that’s very common for a fumble scrum. Football is a mean, nasty game. And guess what? To play it at that level, you have to be a mean and nasty person to get by. Branch is a mean and nasty person. So is Spurlock. They wouldn’t be starting if they both weren’t this caliber of player.

Agree. In the words of Ron Cherry “giving him the business” is as much a part of football as the hand off or forward pass (or in Virginia Tech’s case the screen pass). If it’s called during the game, that’s fair, because it was obvious. Unless an eye popping out goes unnoticed let sleeping dogs lie.

We all have high definition televisions in our living rooms so why don’t the replay officials in the SEC? Perhaps they aren’t early adopters, or they’ve already budgeted all that $2.25 billion from ESPN…

Get your repenting on non-worthy mortals because Jesus is back.

Feel free to sleep in, or get an extra day of worship in, because there isn’t one game before 3:30 worth getting up for.

Wake Forest 24 @ Georgia Tech 42 – Wake is usually good for one big ACC road win a year, and so for they are oh-for. But there’s no way in hell (pun intended) they’re coming away with a win from Bobby Dodd.

The Big 12 North, taking it on the chin since 2003. Pictured above is the aftermath of the Texas’ 7-41 bludgeoning of Mizzou not pictured is Oklahoma’s thrashing of Kansas. Those both came a week after Mizzou’s 17-33 loss to Oklahoma State and Texas Tech’s armed robbery of Nebraska’s Blackshirts. Point being, the Big 12 North is pushing the ACC Atlantic for the unwanted recognition of worst division in college football.

Online Tours of the SEC are departing in five minutes. Get the fuck out, you’ve never spent an afternoon meandering drunkenly through The Grove or screaming your balls off in Death Valley on brisk autumn evening? Don’t be too embarrassed we’ve never been to either and Friends of the Program has us covered with their FREE virtual tours.

Pulse of the ACC. Hell, the most excited I’ve been about N.C. State this week was when Adrian Wilson gave a shout out to Philip Rivers during an interview on the Jim Rome show. That’s just depressing. The locals are sacrificing their prize pigs to Saint Dabo who better stuff himself fat on ham and bacon while he can because that unexpected loss is right around the corner. Dane and Winfield score a Pee-wee Herman in an adult theater on the CGB Giddy Scale. Brian and Jeff are adrift in a motionless ocean of what happened and are trying to figure out how to tell their wives they won’t at home in time for Foxtrot lessons. And, finally, Softball Face wants ‘Noles to forget the Ponder/Tebow comparisons.

His sweater vest won’t be dry cleaned, steamed, re-steamed nor will his American flag pin be within .01% error perpendicular to the center of a loosely knotted tie, because Evil Tressel is back. Bitches.

Brian and Jeff, proprietors of BC Interruption, who spend most of their time being quiet with their wives at Ann Taylor Loft, Bed Bath and Beyond and Starbucks have earned 30 minutes of funsies time. I’m ecstatic they’ve decided to spend it with us ACC assholes.

Now that most ACC teams’ non-conference schedules are winding down and we are starting league play, it’s time to take the vitals of the ACC’s play in non-conference action. Here is how the ACC fared against the rest of college football through 4 weeks (based on my back-of-the-envelope math):

Comment on your team’s (if applicable, sorry Miami) and the conference’s non-conference performance through 4 weeks. As a conference, what head-to-head record against another conference stands out to you most?

As a conference our performance has been horrible, abominable, putrid and pathetic. Losing games to I-AA teams is unACCeptable (Zing!). There would’ve been 3-5 more adjectives and perhaps a couple of “fucks” to describe the ACC vs outsiders had the Hokies not notched a quality win against Nebraska and had a passable showing against Alabama.

Willy Mac, Chili is that you?

Jack (South Carolina)

Clemson’s defense held BC to 54 total yards of offense. Is Clemson’s D that good, or is BC’s offense that bad?

Heather Dinich (12:30 PM)

Both, absolutely both.

1. *Ding Dong* The pizza man is here, did your team deliver what you expected in their opener, why or why not?

*Ding Dong* shitty question here, who wrote that trash? Oh… That’s right I’m hosting this weeks ACC Roundtable so be prepared to read outstanding answers to four suck-ass questions. Brendan (From Old Virginia) really put the rest of you guys to shame with his response.

ROFLCOPTER

SOI SOI SOI SOI GOES THE ROFLCOPTER CARRYING AL GROH

Bird (From the Rumble Seat) wrote what every fan would when their team wins by twenty, he complains about the lack of a flyover. He also points out GT fumbled three times, which against a better opponent can/will cost them the game.

Just another thing we do better than GT.

Joe Ovies (850 & 620 The Blog) regales us with a “wish I was back in college story”.

NC State: An old college friend worked as manager at Gumby’s Pizza in Raleigh. One night, he received a complaint call from a customer. Was the pizza cold? Was it not what they had ordered? Nope. The pizza delivery guy was so high, that he passed out on their couch. He just walked in, gave the guys their pizza, and crashed. That was the Wolfpack last Thursday.

Gumby’s Pokey Sticks are excellent when inebriated. James C (yet another… N.C. State Sports Blog) agrees with Joe that the offense plummeted into Carter-Finley.

The offense that was supposed to light the world on fire barely crossed the 50.

What happened to Russel Wilson is my question, did all the preseason hype go to his head? Also Dana Bible is NC State’s Bryan Stinespring. shivers

My brother from another mother F4H (Gobbler Country) likens the Virginia Tech offense to anchovies.

Again, with the anchovies. Always with the anchovies. Every year I order supreme and every year you bring me friggin’ [fucking] anchovies. At least the defense brought meat lovers.

Bud Foster’s homemade pizza is a pepperoni log, smoked pork underbelly and ball of mozzarella cheese mashed together between his hands. Anyways, I would say the Hokie offense is like a deconstructed pizza, the finest ingredients not put together. AND THAT FALLS ON YOUR SHOULDERS OFFENSIVE COACHES. Willy Mac and Chilli (Block-C) got served a half-assed pizza, probably Lunchables brand.

I pretty much expected a half-assed performance by Clemson and that’s exactly what I got. After the game I waited, hoping to hear Dabo chew the shit out of the team, but instead it seemed that he gave them fairly positive marks. Which means he is aware what they’re capable of and they’re delivering it, or he’s a “praise in public, damn in private” sort of guy which is a good leadership quality according to those who know such things.

FSUncensored (Tomahawk Nation) got the defensive half of his pie exactly how he ordered it, no cheese.

Tomahawk Nation was the only site telling people that the defense could be at best, slightly above average, when most people were saying it should be good to very good, and only had a few youth issues.  The problems for the defense, unfortunately, run deep and can’t be fixed quickly.  Dumb and lazy recruiting, particularly in 2006 and 2007, by the previous coaching staff (some of which is still around), a silly reliance on seniority over skill (brought on by Bobby Bowden and acquiesced to by Mickey Andrews), and ridiculously bad coaching hires on the defensive side of the ball (Jody Allen, Chuck Amato), have left this defense with a very limited ceiling.  They have the chance to be FSU’s worst defense in nearly 30 years.

However, his other half was the works. Christian Ponder had an unexpected 130+ QB rating against Miami and looked way better than the ‘Noles expected. Brian and Jeff (BC Interruption) got their pizza as they called it in AND free breadsticks which they no doubt smothered in ranch dressing.

Even though it was Northeastern – a 2-10 CAA team – the win was just what Spaziani and this young Eagles team needed. For one, the offensive output was encouraging and not much expected. It all started with the Eagles first play from scrimmage, a Montel Harris’ 48 yard TD run. The running game was able to run right through an outmanned Northeastern defense. The quarterbacks also got some much needed experience, and both Shinskie and Tuggle were able to get their first collegiate TD passes under their belts.

Mike (Tar Heel Mania) also got what he ordered as his ‘Heels feasted on a I-AA school.

Given that UNC’s expectations are high and Citadel is considered very very not good even by FCS standards, we about exactly met expectations. We didn’t disappoint and we didn’t wow.

ACC bloggers B. Rink (On the B. Rink) and Jim Young (ACCSports.com) were both pretty much disguested with what they got.

If my team is the ACC, that would be a definite and thunderous “no!”. The two losses to FCS squads, 0-2 vs. SEC, and the Wake loss at home were disappointing to say the least. It’s early, but a team like NC State that looked pretty good on paper–absolutely bombed at home versus a mediocre SEC team.

My delivery guy just gave me a sauceless pie with tofu and bean curd when I specifically asked for the meat lovers special.

Only because it was at the top of Bryan Ranall Google results and one of our favorite reads is Maryland authenticated. Got to talk that trash.

Obligatory site news. We tweaked the look and feel around these parts a bit. We tried to make things a little cleaner by only using three columns on the home page. We also upgraded wordpress and all of our plugins since we’ve neglected to do so for the last bit of eternity. If you have any problems, let us know then quickly point your browser to a better blog.

The DEATHBACKER, because whip doesn’t do Cody Grimm justice. F4H and I need to get this screen printed on shirts for our trip to Atlanta. Speaking of the Hokies, B. Rink delivers three reasons other than Darren Evans being injured on why VT won’t win the ACC.

Unverified Autocrat. Brian shows how to make a team specific blog relatable, mustaches. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »
