haha, laughed so hard I got stares in my cubicle
Terms will be key. How many non-Saturday games has the acc agreed to? What are the blackout rules? What are the penalty clauses to ensure 2019?
Does the ACC even have a slogan??
ACC: We love our noon kickoffs
Typo?
EDIT: and by typo I'm referring to Frank's tenure as head coach.

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? How many PPG do you expect from this team, and do you expect the offense to produce more consistently this year?
VT averaged 31 last year but that drops to 29 without the bowl game, and Memphis averaged 40.2 or 42.7 without their bowl game (both teams had uncharacteristic offensive outputs in their bowl games). Putting that into consideration I think 35 ppg seems like a reasonable goal for this team, but obviously I'm curious about what everyone else expects. So, obviously this question is open everyone, not just French.
I second your second. Does anyone know if this will be available to purchase threw the acc and not espn? I was very excited at the news of an online streaming channel until I saw it was ESPN. It is such a pain in the ass to watch ESPN programming here because they only allow people based in the U.S. (and maybe a few other select countries) to access it, and I am praying for something simple.
As pointed out by others, the bigger players are great/horrible flip flopping doesn't just surprise me, it straight up annoys the heck out of me. I wasn't sold on Mihota at DE at first, but the film is damning for ANY argument to move him back. Does Wiles really want him back at DT? I have a hard time believing it, but I haven't been in the loop recently.
On the subject of bigger players are better and we have been putting players where we needed them instead of where they belonged, am I the only one who thinks Ekanem's speed/size combo would have made him a great linebacker and possibly aided us substantially now (later in his career)...?
Parker or Davis? The only complaint I had for Davis was his unwillingness to block downfield.
Today is a great example of why I keep cable. Went to watch Fuente interview on ESPN3 and get "unable to play video, check back later" error message. No it's a live event I want to watch it now.
The fact they won't release makes it EXTREMELY skeptical of the deal. It feels like a "we didn't get as much money as other conferences but we don't want that public"
Oh indeed.
Curious- have you tried SlingTV? I tried it for sevearl months and was really underwhelmed. It was disappointing because I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't deal with it after awhile. It was fine for watching regular TV shows, but the quality was very subpar for live sports. For whatever reason it would throttle the quality even thought I had bandwidth set to "Best Quality - No limit". I consistently get 75-80 MPBS down when running speed tests but Sling would run at 2-3 MPBS (I live alone so it's definitely not competing for bandwidth on my network). For $20/mo I could kind of deal with that, but then on top of that there were the constant connection and buffering issues. It was rare to watch an entire sporting event without it buffering or completely dropping at least once. The final straw for me was the USA-Argentina Copa America game where it was buffering approximately every 30 seconds, making it completely unwatchable. Going on Twitter, I saw hundreds of tweets rolling in with the same issue (and the typical support response from SlingTV - asking people to check their internet speed). That's when I finally gave up and begrudgingly went back to cable. I hope to be back at some point-- the idea is great, but their infrastructure just doesn't seem to be ready at this point.
Rogers, Loeffler and Stinespring are not included as notable coaches in Beamer's coaching forest. Interesting list of who was and was not featured.
or the D2 Dump
(Don't pretend you don't know what that is.....)
Just my humble opinion, but I think Beamer's influence was an essential factor that helped MV7 to stay out of trouble while he was in college. When he left the shelter of that influence, we all saw what happened.
That said, I don't think MV7 had, has, or ever really had a true thug type mentality. He grew up in a sh*tstorm, Mamma Vick did the best she was capable of, but MV7 came out of that upbringing susceptible to bad influence, made bad choices, and paid a really steep price for those bad choices. I also think MV7 has acquitted himself extremely well since then. He wouldn't have done that if he didn't have the core of a good person deep down.
Marcus on the other hand....***now vomiting a little in mouth at the mention of his name***
Don't get me wrong, I've been a huge advocate of MV7. He did his time and has done and said the right things ever since he got out. He seems to be a great example of how an individual can reform one's self. HOWEVER, I also subscribe to the quote below:
"A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward."
That's the face of a man post pussy touchdown.
Edit: Added photo because I've got my tablet instead of my phone now, and 30 minutes to kill.
Then I presume you will give equal weight and acknowledgement to his character and actions AFTER his punishment, correct?

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? French, do you think CJ Carroll could have a break out year?
Think some people were hopeful for him, but Fuente has stated that Motley and Evans have separated themselves from the rest of the QBs.
I'm not going to get all pissy about the downvotes. I'm also going to have to respectfully disagree. His personal conduct is very relevant and I think Beamer did everything possible to steer Vick away from the negative influences and behaviors from the area he grew up in. I don't think Mama Vick's aspirations were simply to keep him from buckling under pressure.
While my sarcasm may have ruffled some feathers, I believe that we, as fans, have to still recognize his behavior after he left since he's still an ambassador to the hokie nation (just like we hope others recognize that he paid for his crimes and is hopefully a reformed individual).
No debate needed

I knew he'd be back...
ACC Network Extra....did they even try to pitch a 2nd name?
