It's gonna be tough to get him away from Oklahoma but at the same time I could see a kid not wanting to stay that close to home. At the same time, Blacksburg is pretty far away from Norman. At any rate, #goacc.
I see we have some salty Pittsburgh fans here...
This is what I say...
I wish him the best of luck.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem FSU and Miami were split in the first place so every team would play a game in Florida every other year. Maybe that's no longer a consideration, I don't know, but if it's still relevant then you have a problem. You're also giving Wake the finger (I know, it's Wake, but they still have feelings and get a vote) by isolating them from the other NC schools that would help them sell tickets. You're also going to make FSU and Miami howl (again, I don't care about their feelings, but they still have them) by sticking the three northernmost teams in their division.
It gets back to Andy's point in the blog- at 14 teams there's really no great answer at this point. Go North/South and you make UVA and VT unhappy. Go to 9 games and you make FSU/Clemson/GT unhappy. Drop the divisions and you have to bribe the NCAA to make it work.
Welp...
My burning question: Can he block, or does he get the #7 jersey?
Anyone know what happened to Thomas Smith (WR) who signed with Tech in 2011?
Definitely Miller on the far right. How can you mistake the facial hair?
Would we use this guy as a DB or a running back?
I love the line where she awkwardly threw in that she thought Miami was the best in the Coastal... We get it HD, you love Miami
Andrew Miller doing his best pro wrestler pose.
It was an accident
Far right looks like Andrew Miller to me.
Whats your guys thoughts on DB U? I got to think were getting the same reputation with DBs that Penn State had with LBs a while back
I'll have some pictures of #BEATBAMA from Singapore later this summer
Who are these dudebros? Gibson? Benedict? Is that Conte in the back? And I'm clueless as to who is on the far right.
holmes is our "projected starter." shows how much she knows about our team
Wait, who's the projected starter with felony charges??? While losing Holmes isn't optimal, I'm not upset about possibly not having him on the field and I just hate to hear all that crap happen to him as a person rather than as our "projected starter".
What? Click on a Dinich link?
It'll be a cold day in hell Morgantown before I do that.
I think that's her regurgitating Phil Steele's analysis.
Purely speculation. No way did she mean to leave something positive there.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem I have a somewhat simple solution that will make us feel like a conference once again. It starts with DIVISIONAL REALIGNMENT. We truly need to re-org the divisions so the biggest traditional rivalries can be played as division games. Then, we can get rid of cross-division permanent rivals.
The basic premise is this: - let each team play 4 permanent division games, 1 rotating in-division game, and 3 cross-division games. The big loss is that you play 2 divisional teams only once every other year, which dilutes the meaning of “division” (and is contrary to the NCAA definition per Bitter's column). But, I feel that conference affiliation is more important than division affiliation, as the meaning of a conference is that THESE ARE THE TEAMS WE ACTUALLY PLAY.
Set it up like this and each team plays every cross-division opponent once every 3 years at a minimum (9 games vs. 7 opponents over the 3-year span), rather than once every 6 years in the current format. Also, the traditional rivalry game will mean more for the previously cross-divisional opponents like FSU-Miami and Clemson-GT, because the rivals will be battling to win the same division.
Divisions, teams, and their 4 permanent and 2 “every other year” divisional opponents are as follows:
Coastal Teams:
VT, UVA, UNC, NC State, Duke, Clemson, GT
Atlantic Teams:
FSU, Miami, Louisville, Syracuse, Pitt, BC, Wake
Coastal Match-ups:
VT - UVA, GT, Duke, Clemson ANNUAL (NC State, UNC BI-ANNUAL)
UVA - VT, UNC, Duke, GT (Clemson, NC State)
UNC - NC State, Duke, UVA, Clemson (VT, GT)
NC State – UNC, Duke, Clemson, GT (VT, UVA)
Duke – UNC, NC State, VT, UVA (Clemson, GT)
Clemson – GT, VT, NC State, UNC (UVA, Duke)
GT – Clemson, VT, UVA, NC State (Duke, UNC)
Atlantic Match-ups:
FSU – Miami, Louisville, Wake, BC (Syracuse, Pitt)
Miami – FSU, Pitt, Wake, Syracuse (BC, Louisville)
Louisville – FSU, Syracuse, Wake, Pitt (Miami, BC)
Syracuse – Pitt, BC, Louisville, Miami (FSU, Wake)
Pitt – Syracuse, Miami, BC, Louisville (FSU, Wake)
BC – Pitt, Syracuse, FSU, Wake (Miami, Louisville)
Wake – FSU, Miami, Louisville, BC (Syracuse, Pitt)
Most rivalries are preserved (with VT-Miami the obvious exception) and compelling match-ups are drastically increased.
This is how I envisioned her when she saw the rankings.
