(apologies to General Burk Turgidson)

And although I, uh, hate to judge before all the facts are in, it's beginning to look like, uh, @Jeff Clark has exceeded his authority and no one cares about the ACC.

Just poking at you, Jeff and the lack of responses so far.

Who wants to tell him there aren’t going to be divisions in the ACC next season?

Anyone?

Normally I’m not impressed w/ an ACC teams schedule, but i just looked up Duke’s next season. It’s no joke. I don’t see Duke winning the league that’s for sure.

nice home schedule for entertainment purposes

For entertainment yes. For the opposing team being 3/4 of the stadium? Yes. For Duke winning and getting to a bowl game? Not so much

Fortunately for them their out of conference schedule is manageable. Even though UCONN isn’t the pushover they were anymore.

I just said the same thing to a friend of mine. UConn has turned it around a little bit. That’s a brutal schedule for Duke. UVA is the one conference game that I feel mildly confident in. The rest of those games are brutal or tossups. I can’t imagine anyone else in the ACC has a tougher conference schedule .

It really is admirable how UConn has turned it around. As far as Duke, I think a lot of it depends on how Louisville looks without Malik Cunningham and whether Hartman decides to come back to Wake Forest or not. Pitt would be considered a tossup I guess, but I don’t like Duke’s odds in that matchup. Absolute best case for them would be 7-5, and that’s with everything going as well as they could hope. I think more likely they go 4-8 or 5-7

Also, UNC found themselves a heck of a quarterback. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them and FSU face off in the ACC championship a couple of times over the next 3 years.

There's a rumor that he might transfer to Alabama.

Unfortunately I think you’re correct. This was not the season to do away with divisions. Elko was announced as ACC COY, a lot of momentum w/ the program. Duke probably should be playing in Charlotte this weekend and now they get that gauntlet. Duke just doesn’t have the depth to compete w/ teams like Clemson, Notre Dame, physical Pitt, physical NC State and an FSU team that should be preseason top 10. I’ll take the Coastal w/ a bad state of Virginia, mediocre GT and winnable games against Miami, UNC and Pitt.

I’m hearing this too. He was Bama commit, but his family is UNC royalty. Would be a huge shot in the nuts to UNC. For once I’m hoping he stays in Chapel Hill.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Also hearing a nasty rumor that Sam Hartman from Wake may go to Florida. That would not be good.

That would suck. Could jumpstart Napier.

Sam Hartman is a pretty solid QB. Hopefully that’s more of a result of Clawson’s weird Mesh Point/RPO stuff than Hartman’s actual QB ability.

That’s unfortunate. Not that I care about UNC, but I like seeing players stay with the school they started at. Though with the amount of NIL money floating around it’s hard to blame them for making changes like that.
