It's in Charlottesville fucking its Cavman.

I was just talking about Blacksburg, didn't mean that the game was there. I should have worded that better.

I know the game's in Charlottesville, that's why our horse is fucking your Cavman.

Is UNC throwing the game? They just ran the ball on 3rd and 10 and didnt even go for it on 4th down at Duke's 30

They were getting into field goal range...

 

[uncfan103]

Charlotte again. It's almost like our bowl game. At least our expectations are getting higher since I'm disappointed

Hmm playin for a FG in the 1st quarter of a scoreless game? If true, thats weak of Fedora and ya'll should expect better. I could see that if it was 3rd and 20 but not 3rd and 10 which is very doable.

 

[hokiehi21]

Oh wow Cuse scored a TD with 8 seconds left against BC to win 34-31 and become bowl eligible. Thats amazing.

Andre Williams aka Andre2000 got hurt in the game

17 FSU players on this list. 7 first team. That is a crap load of players.

I put it in the coaching changes thread, but worth putting it here as well.

Grobe resigned from Wake Forest today.

Wow, that must have been urged from the AD to quietly step aside I'm guessing.

That was the first thing I thought about, but IMO they'd be really stupid to get rid of him. I think he's just tired of coaching. And, now with Duke good he's losing even more recruits and it's becoming an even more impossible job. What he did was incredible and Wake has their bar set too high if they expect to be consistently bowling. Wake is probably one of the toughest schools to win at with the alumni base and fan base being pretty small, and he doesn't really have a chance at the top recruits from the state. I'll be interested in seeing if he tries to coach again at all

In his 13 seasons at Wake Forest Grobe was 77-82 overall 42-62 in the ACC, and 3-2 in Bowls since he took the helm in 2001. He was 33-33-1 previously as head coach at Ohio University. Wake Forest has a news conference scheduled at 4:15pm today where they will "discuss the football program". Their AD is an idiot imho. I hope they get a decent coach at Wake Forest. The school deserves better.

Don't forget Grobe also won a ACC title. That's something that Wake may never do again.

 

[geneh_33]

One thing you can say about Wake is that every year they always come out and play at least one game like it is the Superbowl. This year is was the Maryland game. Wake usually beats somebody they shouldn't, at least once.

Duke vs. A&M

 

[uncfan103]

Duke vs. A&M

Duke shouldn't embarrass themselves in that game, IMO. Even if they give up 50 points they probably wouldn't be blown out.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Here's a decent article about the ACC and bowl games for you ACC homers:

ACC Sends NCAA-Record 11 teams to bowl games

 

[uncfan103]

I think we can all agree the Maryland players won the ACC Bowl Selection Show.

As Military Bowl Participants they get a Sony PS4, a "winter hat" and an "Ogio Backpack".

Pitt is probably the loser since they receive "Timely Watch Co. watch; leather luggage set; football" and a trip to Detroit.

 

[hokiehi21]

Pitt is prolly thrilled to be going anywhere other than Birmingham, Alabama where they've gone the past 3 years lol.

I agree Duke keeps it close with TAMU. Their defense is so bad. My early prediction is TAMU 41 Duke 31
