TCU vs. UGa Natty Thread
Line is UGa (-13.5)
TCU pays out at 5:1
Over/Under is 63.5
If this is the year the Big XII wins the playoff it will be sweet sweet irony given that $EC is stealing their two marquee programs.
Discuss.

OT: Shane Beamer contract extension
Shane got himself an almost $4m raise and a contract extension through 2027. I'm happy for him, but deeply amused that USC is trying to claim "Beamerball" as their own 🤣

Merry Christmas! My gift to you (maybe) is the link in this post
I spent a little time putting together a spreadsheet of All ACC Player from 2018 through 2022. It includes the name, position, team, and recruiting year. It's filterable, maybe. Not sure if I have to allow editor access to do that, so if that doesn't work, let me know so that I can change it.
If you want to look at it, there are some interesting things to see, like how players progress and how many players are one-year All ACC, and then disappear (either to transfer, graduation, injury, or otherwise). You can see how VT compares to other programs in the ACC.
