ACC Football Decline
Something really surprising happened to the ACC in football. They started to suck! Who woulda thunk that 4 years ago when Miami and Va Tech came on the scene from the Big Least? Boston College should have laughed and said in their best BC Guy voice “Hahahahahaha NO!”. But they didn’t and here they are in the lowly ACC. Is there anybody out there that agrees with me? That the ACC has just flat out sucked lately?
5 out of 7 agree! So now we have 12 teams in the conference. The two big Florida schools for some reason have forgotten that they are suppose to actually play football when they step on the field. Oh you mean we are actually supposed to compete? Miami wasn’t even bowl eligible! Miami! The U! RB U! What the hell? Miami also can’t seem to shake the Thug U tag. Coach Shannon has tried to make some strides but who knows how well he’ll do and how far he’ll go. Last season was an improvement.
Florida State forgot what it’s like to play offense. And yes, I’m blaming that on the Bowden family. Jimbo Fisher also has his work cut out for him. There was actually a bit of a drop off from Jeff Bowden’s last year and Jimbo’s first. I’m okay with that though. I have to be. Teaching and learning a whole new offense can’t be that easy…or that hard really. This year had better be different. Another good recruiting class should help both Miami and FSU. You got the weapons you wanted, now use them!
Check the final standings from last year. One team in the Top 10 and only 3 in the Top 25. Neither of which include Miami or FSU. WTF? Wake Forest won the Conference Championship game in 2006. WTF? Virginia is ranked #21 in Schlabach’s preseason rankinkgs. WTF? If it wasn’t for Va Tech and Boston College the ACC would be in pretty bad shape. Look at this Conference on paper and it should be a Top 3 Conference. But it’s not. Jeff Sagarin had the ACC ranked as the 5th best behind the Big Least! Horrible! 2008 had better hold some better results or else we’ll continue to be a weak ass Conference with no room to talk smack to any other team outside the ACC. Really all we should be allowed to do is just make fun of Dook. But hey, at least they won a game last year.
So this message goes out to all the ACC Coaches from all the ACC fans…”Tighten up jackweeds!”
