There are some good ones. Didn't know Tech was playing Tennessee. Should be good.

We about to wreck this league again. Franklin just landed another 4 star and we're up to the #13 recruiting class in the nation

Pulled in 2 more recruits, now a Top 10 class in the nation

We have 2 road Friday night games, which I ******* hate.

Play SMU on Labor Day. Don’t love that aside from the stand alone nature

Given how the ACC pays out, I'd love to have all the stand alone games. Great for ratings.

Most of the time the schools hate the Friday game. Having stand alone games in unique spots are more school friendly deal in a media payout structure like the ACC

* ND became elite a week too late
* Does Miami have the line play?
* Louisville's awfully close
* Congrats, you're an SMU co-coordinator!
* I love GT's backfield and UVA's transfers
* Wait ... is SP+ *for* Clemson now??

I like the GT Coach Key. We finally got someone I like.

Really interested to see if he can get another QB like Haynes King. I remember watching our rivalry game in 2024 and thinking how in the world did GT get to be that good.

As a Navy fan too, I really liked Paul Johnson, and while the floor was high for him at GT, the ceiling was also relatively low. The triple option for him made little sense at a bigger school, and he should’ve brought someone in to help him modernize it, as Navy has done a couple times.

Key got Mendoza's brother to transfer over to GT and play QB. We will see how that works out.

PJ's offense worked until the ACC teams finally figured out how to stop it. You are right, he needed help.

Bottom line is he wrecked our offense. It was hard to move on from him because every offensive player we had was recruited for the triple option and not good for a modern offense. The Temple coach was a disaster. Key may be just what we need.

I like Army & Navy, too, but let's face it, without the triple option they would lose nearly every game. They have to run it just to survive.

Johnson’s successor has a great relationship with Chip Kelly and he brought him in right when we had Keenan Reynolds to add some of his offensive concepts to the playbook. One of the first times I ever saw black paper up around the practice fields so you couldn’t see in.

Drew Cronic runs what many call the “millennial” triple option which has completely modernized the offense and added a lot of passing and open concepts. This year we’ll see if it’s a Horvath thing, or if the offense has some staying power.

Him going to VT, this was always the likely outcome. He'll have them into a 10 win team by year 2.

I have a ton of PSU fans that I'm friends with. That would be incredible to use to talk a little ****. Lol.

Really going to be interesting to see how he evolves as a football coach though.

Him getting into the playoffs is likely never going to be a problem. He’s got to step up there and win the big one.
