Well, who could blame her?

If we stay at 8, then we have to do away with the annual cross-over. Playing teams within our conference only once every 6 years is ridiculous. I think many people were hoping for the 9+1 because it would solve that problem.

I just read their first posting in the Vt at UNC thread. I'm positive most of it is copy and pasted directly from comments made on TKP!

All - just a FYI, we don't need to have the updates for at least the NOAA model posted.... looks like the embedded images in here are automatically updating.

I think we are going at a decent pace. Teams like Oregon and UNC seem like they go fast for the sake of going fast. It seems to me that Fuente wants to go reasonably fast, but getting to a certain number of plays per game isn't really the priority.

Who knew that Nicole drove a Yukon Denali with the family stick figures on the back, has Maryland tags, and drives in Virginia.

Forecast has an even bigger East turn now. VA isn't in the "cone of uncertainty" and only a small section of NC is.

Oh wow, I always thought it was a "Fuente found his guy" kind of thing. Makes me even happier he ended up at Tech if that's the case.

To be fair, UNC's kicker isn't all that great either. No one expected him to make that kick because he'd never come close to making one that long, including missing a 51 yarder I believe earlier in that game. Slye is a solid kicker.

I'm just trying to say Fedora didn't really want his kicker doing that either.

I'd encourage everyone to take a look at this article, which was fairly enlightening given the current discussion:

Someone hold me and remind me that the new trilogy is going to be better than the prequels.

Thanks, Han. Wait -

Now I'm sad again.

My folks are in Zone B in Myrtle and are waiting for more info before they make their decision. They may end up heading west to Tennessee for a few days to see their siblings.

Fedora is only using UNC as a stepping stone before getting his dream job this winter

Clearly Matthew saw her in trouble and ~~is coming to her aid to help walk her home~~ texted her "You Up?"

Let's not pretend Matthew is a good guy

I can understand the line of thinking of "More high profile ACC games = more national exposure and people realizing the amount of good teams in the conference." That makes sense.

But by keeping the schedule at 8 games, the conference DOESN'T cannibalize itself. VT playing Clemson & FSU in the regular season is good for strength of schedule, but if you lose to both those teams you're out of the playoff picture before the ACC Championship. In fact, playing only 8 conference games might actually get two ACC teams in the playoff this year. If Louisville & Clemson both run the table from here on out, there's a good chance both are in the CFP.

Who knows how it'd turn out if Miami or VT played Louisville, but that's one more game where they could potentially take a loss. The more ACC teams play each other, the greater chance there is for them to knock each other out of contention.

I'd say the biggest challenge the ACC has right now is getting 2 teams to dominate the Coastal every year, and hopefully that's on the way to happening with VT & Miami. The less frequently teams from the Coastal & Atlantic play each other, the more meaningful the ACC Championship becomes. It doesn't help the conference's image to have Clemson beating VT handily twice in one season (a la 2011).

Jeez, who shit in your cereal? Face it, Beamer means 1000x more to Hokie nation than to the rest of the country. He isn't Saban, he isn't Bowden, he isn't Bryant. He never won a Natty, rarely won the big games when the eyes of the nation were on us. But that's fine because he basically brought us from nothing to something. But that something is more meaningful to us Hokie fans, than to the rest of the country.
