Sure, what the heck. Last time I bet on Tech they lost, so tomorrow could be a win-win night for you!

I am hoping you win this one SJ. It's not that i don't like you mark, but i have to root for tech to lose.

How about those Canes!! Great defensive effort.

Great defense on both sides. I was actually surprised Miami got within 10 yds of the endzone and had to settle for a field goal 3 times. And I was surprised how fast Miami's defense was. Things are gonna be interesting in the next year or two, so many young teams in the ACC.

But the boneheaded coaches blew the game when the went for it on 4th and 1 on the first drive of the game. I told my wife right then they'd lose by a field goal. I keep holding out hope that maybe, just maybe, we'll eventually lose enough games that way that they'll finally kick the friggin' ball.

A deal's a deal, send me your address and I probably won't send you grape flavored cigars

On another note, does Clemson have a coach yet? They better stop sniffing around Bud Foster, we still need him!

Now Miami needs the Tar Heels to lose. Go Terps!!

Don't have a coach yet. But we have it narrowed down to 122 possibilities!! Oh yeah, there's Bud at 38.


Acutally, I think our Athletic Director is interviewing him in the next couple of days. I don't know much about him, except he done very well there at VT.

Suppose MD DOES win, and then suppose GT beats Miami.... Both are real possibilities I think. What a mess the ACC will be. I still think the Orange Bowl will be a slaughter no matter which ACC team goes.

Just as long as my son's born BEFORE our bowl game (due 12/27), I'll be a happy man

I must be out of my mind.

If Miami beats GT and N.C. State, they play in the ACC title game. Miami is coming along faster than people thought. This team will compete for a National Title next year.

Nah. There're at least two problems with that idea [and it's not because I hate Miami ]:

1) Miami's defense is still terrible. During the Tech game they flashed up the stat that Miami's opponents scored 25 out of 26 times in the red zone, 21 of those were TDs. A National Title contender needs to do MUCH better than that, I think they're more than a year away.

2) Every team in the ACC is saying the same thing. UNC, VT, Miami, they're all young teams, they're all expecting to be better next year. The teams may be better, but conference games are going to ruin Championship dreams for everyone. I'd expect the ACC Champ to have at least 2 losses, that won't be good enough for a trip to the big game.

I think parity in the ACC is enough to kill any chance of a National Champ from the ACC for the next year or two.
