EDSBS LIVE! ACC THRILLS EDITION

1. VT no longer has VD. The Hokies are the best team in the ACC as it stands and, thus, are the only conference program that does not have some kind of groin crushing flaw that keeps them from achieving greatness at go time.

2. “They hate you Chris Rix. From the top of your pitch fork to the bottom of your cloven, by God, they hate you good.”

3. Umm, FSU and Miami will be back to ganstain’ all over yo’ shit, smokin’ a joint while they be doin’ yo’ sistah…but not till 2008.

4. Do I have to pick just one? There’s always the time she says, “Oh, that was just swell.”

Cloven hoof that is

1. I know that Chapel Hill is a quintessential college town. I know that Clemson will find a way to gack up a home game that they shouldn’t. I know that I’ll miss Chuck Amato’s red shoes. Red shoes, dammit!

2. I have to go with Brian Conn here, simply because he was the signal caller for a good chunk of Ball State’s 21-game losing streak back in the late 90s. Nice kid, played hard, but a Division III-caliber arm.

3. It’s not as crooked as the SEC? (And on a serious note, who wouldn’t want to witness the emotional rush of the Hokies taking the field for their home opener this year?)

4. A tie between the math portion of my SAT, and my first real office job. I had eight bosses. Eight, Bob.

ESPECIALLY when the best man has a key to the room and has forgotten something.

It’s all been uphill from there. ;^)

Thought for sure that this installment would be about something patriotic, parades or outdoor fun (ie, dance floors)

Can’t believe you’re covering the stinkin’ ACC on MY birthday, of all days.

1. The only thing I know for certain is that Georgia Tech diverted too far from the “Gailey Mean” last year which could end up in them having a losing record this year.
2. Pick any ND cornerback over the past ten years (Shane Walton excepted).
3. Um, their women’s soccer teams are always pretty hot…
4. August 4th, 2005. The rum flowed like wine that night, my friends.

1. Duke will lose, and no one will really notice.
2. Rix, for ever and fuckingever. Does Reggie have the stones to open his own QB camp?
3. The ACC doesn’t smack talk teenage girls about being the greatest conference ever.
4. 1995 Pan Am Games in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. I was massively hung over during the Men’s synchronized 3M springboard, and failed to tune in.

1. What, if anything, do you know about the ACC heading into 2007?

    Wake Forest winning a conference that includes supposed “powers” FSU, Miami and Va Tech is absofuckinglutely mindblowing. This is like Vandy winning the SEC. Much like relegation in the EPL, the ACC should be kicked out the BCS for one year.

2. To honor Reggie Ball as CFB’s worst four-year starter of all-time, please share with us your school’s worst multi-year starter.

   Thinking back on this makes me realize we have not many bad qbs at Florida, at least not like JTIII or Ball. I will have to agree on Dougie. His personalized license plate said “Slinger.” Once at a Florida b-ball game Stolt overthrew a 3/4 court pass- badly. In the ensuing silence a fan shouted out “nice fucking pass Dougie!” The crowd erupted in laughter. This sums up Florida fans feelings nicely.

3. Now say something nice about the ACC.

     Clemson’s backfield is sick. CJ Spiller, who should be a gator, is the fastest most electrifying player in college not named Percy Harvin.

4. What’s your most mediocre performance?

   The 2000 Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court intellectual property competition in Atlanta. I had a mind numbing, aching, nauseating buckhead hangover on this day and had to argue on obsucre point of intellectual property law before a mock appelate panel. I think my team still placed 2nd, but to call my performance mediocre would be spot on.

mmm…Scores, A+ overpriced whores. I wish we had one inside the Beltway.

1. NC State football players will beat great teams (FSU) and lose to mediocre teams (UNC) thanks to the Tom O’Brien School of Coaching Up (and Down) to Opponents

2. Asad Abdul Khaliq – Come on down! You’re the next contestant on driving the Golden Gophers into the ground.

3.Between Chuck Amato and Jenn Sterger’s friends TV cameras will gets glimpses of the best bazongas in the country at FSU games

4. My SAT’s.

4. Fourth grade, Charlie Brown, “It’s a Charlie Brown Christmas.”

1. That FSU cuts people for getting mono for an extroadinary part of time and being 6’8" 210 instead of 6’8" 250.
2. If by “my school” you mean my dream school (technical schools don’t have sports teams), then I have to agree with Orson here.
3. Never! Kidding, mostly ‘cause The Lt. would put a bullet in my ass and get off due to a loophole. Those ’Cane bastards throw a pretty good party, and so do the fuckers in Tallynasty.
4. I can’t say anything stands out, except for maybe passing out after throwing a house party and not being able to clean up before my mom got home. Getting grounded for almost 3 months of your senior year of high school is hell on your social life.

1. I know that at least one Bowden will say “dadgummit” a lot, then blame his offensive coordinator/ qb/ holly rowe for only scoring 14 points. Toss-up, really.

2. Not a well known Louisville player (besides QBs, WRs, Michael Bush and a few defensive linemen, who is?), but Antonio Roundtree made all-CUSA three times and “Most Vomit-inducing” simultaneously.
Cool name, though.

3. Curious as to how much Wake’s defense was an aberration, as they were fairly strong last year.

4. Miami, New Year’s Eve, 2002. At one point I apparently spent about 20 minutes telling my buddy’s mom that I was smarter than she was. That I lived is a testiment to the graciousness of a woman who raised her share of jackasses and the incumbent need for me to be his Best Man three days later.

Eldest son’s b-day #4 today . . .so I will miss the chat.

1. Miami and FSU are both still in Florida and still in the ACC, which means there is no excuse for one or the other of them not to win the conference.

2. Many Michigan fans would say John Navarre, but I am going to go with BJ Askew, who thought he was a tailback and wasn’t.

3. Good basketball.

4. So many to choose from. Unfortunately, I would have to say my college dating career.

Ahh, the ACC.

1) “Europe hasn’t been this interesting since Napoleon marched to Moscow!” The ACC is looking to be another SEC with wholesale levels of parity.

Wake Forest, 9 returning starters on offense and the coach is staying put.

The FSU “gatekeeper” has met the “keymaster” in Jimbo Fisher, putting them on track toward the “Path of Now and Forever.”

Miami and UNC finally have real coaches. Miami has taken well to this thing called “discipline” from their coach.

NCSt finally has a coach that can take advantage of all that demonic talent.

Boston College, new coach with a killer resume and the best QB in the league, Matt Ryan.

VT, you know the deal with them.

Clemson’s always a beast, esp with CJ Spiller.

2) Closest thing I can come to worst fourth year starter for LSU is Gerry Dinardo.

3) I heart Boston College. I have 2 cousins in Honduras who got their pharmacy degrees from there. The ACC provided my first memories of college football due to the yearly watching of FSU v Miami (I guess you could say the same for the Big East). Their acquisitions of Miami, BC, and VT will reward them-a-plenty.

4) Not going for a girl who was damn near perfect. She looked like Liv Tyler (money in my book), loved video games, smart as a scholar (went to a Illinois Math & Sciences), loved the outdoors. Totally let her cross my plate without swinging. Suck suck suck . . .

Happy Birthday, PSUGirl. I got you a box of batteries. D-Cells. Make ’em count.

1. I know Maryland is playing Rutgers this season and for some reason, Rutgers is the favorite and that worries me. Even Phil Steele’s guide hasn’t taught me enough about Maryland whether to worry or not. Just looking at school names, the ACC could be big, but they aren’t for some reason.

2. It was only 2 years, but Ryan Cubit was horrid. If you need 4, then Ryan Hart. Between the two, Cubit’s 2 was worse than Hart’s 4, in my opinion. OK, maybe there was somebody far worse (I started going to Rutgers in 2001, sorry); but the trouble at the QB position just sticks in your mind. Rutgers QBs for the LOSE (and Mike Teel isn’t doing enough to change that perception).

3. I really like what Clemson is doing in the ACC. Also, great basketball can be found in the ACC. There, two things.

4. My most mediocre performance was my Physics III couse in college. I knew enough to help others in my class out and understand the lectures, but I often needed help on homework assignments and I was just “eh” on the exams. I don’t know how that ended up as a B…

God damn you Sean, how dare you chose AAK before I get the chance to curse his name for the debacle. Michigan fans should celebrate both his birthday and that game.

So, onto the other 3:

1) A Miami player will find his way into some trouble this fall.

3) Virginia Tech’s Special Teams will strike fear into the hearts of punters across the land (or their schedule)

4) Pretty much my entire life, but just to be safe we’ll go with a football game that included 3 fumbles lost and a missed block that caused a QB to be eating through his earhole for about a month. Even my mom was screaming that I should be benched.

1. The ACC is made up of two divisions: the “Atlantic” division, where teams on the Atlantic (such as Florida State) play, and the “Coastal” division, where teams on the Coast (such as Duke) play. It’s simple, really.

2. It sure felt like Freddie Kitchens started at Alabama for four years.

3. While overrated, “Beamerball” is still fun to watch.

4. My most mediocre performance? Why, I’d have to say it was when I cared about my job too much, or maybe the time when I paid too much attention to detail in my work.

1. No more Chesty LaFrance on the sidelines at NCSt. How sad.

2a. Zebbie F-ing Lethridge, QB, Texas Tech. You didn’t know if the ball was going to be thrown into the ground or the third row.
2b. Shawn Hurd, CB. He singlehandedly turned Keyshawn Johnson into a #1 pick at the Cotton Bowl.

3. They only have one really crappy team.

4. Prolly my first time at a nudie bar. I think I was expecting Playboy models or something. Turned out they were largely slumpbusters.

. What, if anything, do you know about the ACC heading into 2007?
UNC should rebound with Butch Davis. Georgia Tech should rebound without Reggie Ball. FSU fans should see a ton of running it up the middle and bubble screens. Jenn Sterger should never write any columns for any magazines ever again.

2. To honor Reggie Ball as CFB’s worst four-year
Jamie Fucking Howard. I shit my pants with anger each time I think of him

3. Now say something nice about the ACC.
They own the state of north carolina, and although they raided the big east, at least they made life difficult for pa bowden.

4. What’s your most mediocre performance?
First month I moved to new york city, i had a bunch of buddies staying with me and we went out drinking. I locked myself in the bathroom of a 24 hour restaurant and passed out on the shitter, leaving them to their own devices for the night. Not particularily a proud moment.

I am counting the motherfucking days until FSU @ BC. There are no Nolies up here because they all work in Florida grocery stores. Should be a good weekend for Nole-hatin’.

1. ESPN will make a big deal out of the Bowden Bowl and most people will flip to CBS. And a former Big East team will win the Atlantic and/or Coastal division.
2. Brad Lewis – I was not impressed
3. No
4. 2006 Christmas Party – drank too much, danced too little, and a variety of other side-effects of the “drank too much” thing.
Or my 36% physics avearage Freshman year.

36-percent? I hate a bragger.

1. Florida State will be competently coached.

2. Peter Gardere — and second-place isn’t even close at Texas. Most choose to look the other way because he miraculously beat OU four times in a row.

3. The stadiums really are great, especially Chapel Hill and Blacksburg.

4. high school basketball career — it’s entirety (actually sub-mediocre most nights)

1. BC looks decent on paper, but the coaching change will hurt more than expected. At least this year.

2. Can I choose coaches? Jerry Pettibone was a horrid legacy the OSU Beavers will never truly cleanse .

3. One of the big three (Miami, FSU, or VT) will win the league and re-gain some repect for the ACC as a whole.

4. Any number of times that I can not read women are hitting on me. I am truly a doofus in this department.

1) Clemson has ugly colors
2) Rick Meier and Ron Pawlus spring immediately to mind, but as they both beat USC and Meier won a bowl game, I’m going to surpise myself and say Brady Quinn. I’ll give you a pass for 2005, pretty boy, because the defense couldn’t hold a lead against the Girls of Troy, but all those losses in bowls (and once to BY fucking U) still grate on a brutha’s nerves.
3) Uh, Lawrence Taylor went to North Carolina. Does that count?
4) While stroking it in a vain attempt to rise to the occassion for Round 2, I accidently came. In the bathroom. By myself. Then I had to explain to her why the lil soldier wouldn’t salute. She was very nice about it . . . then left immediately thereafter.

Since the Office Space seal has been broken:

4. Every day of my life is more mediocre than the last.

SKLM Answers:

1. What, if anything, do you know about the ACC heading into 2007?

Zilch. I just thought they played basketball.

2. Your school’s worst multi-year starter.

At USC, it must be Petros Papadakis, who is now a sportscaster on local Los Angeles radio and regional college football games. Sometimes funny, but mostly boring. He has an awful broadcasting voice and just yells at times to sound relevant. But, he is more entertaining than most local LA sports media types, which is not saying much.

3. Now say something nice about the ACC.

They play ok basketball?

4. What’s your most mediocre performance?

My streak almost came to a halt about two years ago. The streak: Never going soft, if you know what I mean.

I am proud that the streak has survived even when I got headaches, leg cramps, New Orleans, and other stuff like that.

Harris, I believe it’s spelled Brady Qwinn. Might as well get them all wrong

1) Half of the culling needed to make the ACC proud again is over. Amato, Bunting, Coker – check (and we’re not forgetting about you, Fredo Bowden). Dump a Groh, Gailey, or Roof or two and we’ll be ready to go.

2) Jay Davis. Karma for four years of Philip Rivers.

3) Instead of mouthing off, counting incorrectly, demeaning minorities, whining, or generally sounding like an idiot in public, our commissioner keeps his mouth shut – even if he does spend his time conspiring to turn the conference into a two-team plutocracy in both football and basketball (Wake Forest last year was your karmic ‘Fuck You!’ Swofford).

4) My first geography bee in middle school. I though I was ready to move up to the big time after winning it all in elementary school (also my finest moment in life) and was, but somehow managed to choke it up bigtime.

Without a doubt in my mind, Gerald Dixon. He was a four year starter at cornerback for Bama 5-8 years ago, or so.

The man got beat so badly and so often, Eli Gold started calling him, “Smoke”.

TZUbear, I feel you on #4. A girl could walk up to me with a sign that said “Ask me out dammit.” and I would reply “who’s that for?”

1. Expect Wake Forest and Georgia Tech to crash to the ground like the Heidenberg. FSU will be much better due to the coaching changes. VT will be VT, they could role to the BCS or they could fall just short.

2. Marcus Vick. Two seasons where he ran up the arrest record and one good season where he crumbled in games versus FSU and Miami and stomped on a player’s leg in a bowl game.

3. The ACC will be better this year. Watch out for FSU. Miami should be better but will need more time.

4. My last job performance review.

1. The ACC will be better in 2007 than it was in 2006.

2. Damn, SLKM beat me to Petros Papadakis while I went to look up his stats. The poor guy only made it to one bowl game in his USC carrer, and that was a loss in the Sun Bowl. Those were dark days indeed.

I like Petros as a broadcaster though. I find him funny and different and he’s partnered with a smoother radio pro who balances out the show quite well.

3. Boston can be a fun town.

4. I tried to run the Long Beach marathon 3 weeks after having a good run in the Chicago marathon. The last 10 miles were painful and ugly and slow. I felt like this famous woman looked…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wCL-BfaNbA

1. What, if anything, do you know about the ACC heading into 2007?

FnDC

2. Your school’s worst multi-year starter.

Um… not on the field, but later on, he killed some people… uh, i mean allegedly… you know… that one guy…

3. Now say something nice about the ACC.

I like purple. Clemson has purple.

4. What’s your most mediocre performance?

Calc II, when I got my first and only C+… probably should’ve gone to class more often instead of sleeping in at the boyfriend’s as much as I did (no mediocre performances there!).

MCab-

I had a pretty blond come over to sit next to me at a bar once and literally kick me (in the foot) to get my attention. I was in the middle of a conversation with a friend and just assumed she needed more leg room, so I scooted over. NO joke. A female friend told me to immedietly turn in my dick.

Can Joe Dailey count for both Nebraska and UNC?

1). ESPN will do a “separated at birth” segment featuring Bobby Bowden and Paula Deen (Food Network Fame).

2). Sticking with a culinary theme.. Fat Freddie Kitchens, QB Alabama 96-98. I swear he was caught in the middle of a LSU game eating a Snickers while running onto the field after a TV timeout.

3) Saying something nice about ACC football is like asking for a price check at the Dollar store…

4). Shamefully, I placed third in last week’s Transgender Slam Poetry contest at our local Firestone dealership.

+1 TZU!

Herb, I bricked it in the 8th grade regional spelling bee by mispelling “hiplength.”

1) I know that VT will be off the hook for the home opener, and Wake can’t possibly repeat…can they? Other than that I know nothing.

2) Vandy’s worst multi-year starter…God, where to start? I distinctly remember that Kenny Simon wasn’t any better a QB than he was a wideout, but what the hell have you got to lose…there was also a guy who they tried to move from punter to H-back (with predictable results)…

3) Most everyone I know who went to an ACC school has nice things to say about their years in college. Plus they have some schools that serve as an example to Vandy that they’re obviously doing something wrong (see above re: Wake, our new permanent end-of-season rival for 7 years)

4) Pissing away a University Graduate Fellowship in 3 years and turning a bid for a doctorate into a masters-without-thesis. Oh yeah, and running up a 6K credit card tab trying to keep a psycho girlfriend from killing herself and me. Not good times. Bad times. Also, the time a Senator’s daughter found another girl’s drawz in my bedcovers.

1) I’ll focus on GT here since it’s my school…
a) Possibly the first school in history that loses a 4-year starter at QB AND loses their OC to a bigger job…and is now better off at each position.

I hope the Miami fans love watching incomplete deep balls, because that’s what Nix brings to the table, even when it’s obviously not working.

2) Woo.

3) We have a crap-ton of money, and we have the most good academic schools in a D-1A conference. And that other sport we don’t talk about here.

4) My most mediocre moments are probably when I got Bs and Cs in HS english classes. It’s not that I couldn’t do it, but it’s just so fucking retarded that I didn’t want to.

For the record, I do not actually have trouble keeping my pants on when watching Miami recruits’ highlight reels on youtube.

1. It’s the “other” Southern conference. (Well, except for BC and whatnot. How did BC end up in the same conference with Virginia and Florida State? Shouldn’t BC be in the Patriot League or something?) Oh, and my girlfriend is working on her PhD at BC, which should lead to some discount football tickets for me this season—if I choose to accept them…which I didn’t last year. I will say that BC’s program is pretty good, but it’s just soul-crushingly boring to follow. And I live IN THE TOWN where BC is located. I could walk to Alumni Stadium—but I don’t.

2. The answer is pretty much anybody who played for TCU from 1972-1997 or so, except maybe Mike Renfro and Kenneth Davis. OK, that’s a little harsh, but check our records from about 1965 through the aforementioned 1997, and you’ll see what I mean. These were bad times—we’re talking 0-11, lose-to-UT-ARLINGTON and get-crushed- 81-16-by-the-real-UT bad. Really bad. But to answer the question, I’ll go with Max Knacke, who set all sorts of school passing records, beat up on weak opponents and (almost) always choked in the big game. Very frustrating. Plus, he was kind of an ass. Most TCU fans love him; I’m the exception. Give me Matt Vogler any day. At least he surpasses his (extremely limited) potential rather than never living up to it.

3. Just about everybody will be a Virginia Tech fan for at least the first football Saturday this fall.

4. First marriage. Pretty much the whole thing. But my performance was still better than hers…

1. Virginia will lose at home to a Big East opponent. I will be too drunk to care.

2. Cory Paus (UCLA starting QB, 1999-2002)

3. Cute co-eds, Coupe’s.

4. TZU’s first answer covers it. My 1L Torts exam earns an honorable mention.

1. Virginia will lose at home to a Big East opponent. I will be too drunk to care.

2. Cory Paus (UCLA starting QB, 1999-2002)

3. Cute co-eds, Coupe’s.

4. TZU’s first answer covers it. My 1L Torts exam earns an honorable mention.

1. Somewhere around mid-season, Clemson fans will complain loudly about Tommy Bowden not being Danny Ford — then Tommy will defeat Steve Spurrier in the season finale and he will be given a five year contract extension with a $25 million dollar buyout.

2. Elvis Grbach….scrambling ability of Grandma Moses.

3. Wake Forest bitch slapped the Noles in Doak Campbell on National Television. What else can be said?

4. Father Time in the 5th grade Thanksgiving play.

For once, I can agree with at least half of what SKLM said, specifically items 1 and 3. They do play good basketball, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Boston Frog, at least you have Dan Jenkins’ parallel universe to fall back on when times get tough.

1. - That’s too tough to call, but anyone who was on the 1981 Wildcats certainly qualifies. (I was going to go with Sandy Schwab, but remembered that he actually won a couple of games, and still holds a record or two.)

1. - Mediocre, you say? My first job out of college, headhunting in the jungles of the Chicago insurance industry. Some days, I was actually pathetic.

Having grown up in ACC country a few random thoughts. Stadiums Kenan, Scott and Death Valley are pretty good they rest are not. Have you ever been to Bleaksburg? My HS stadium had more charm.

Coeds FSU and UNC are strong, UVA coeds have some Ole Miss charm but fatter and more arrogant. VTech students leave campus for decent chicks. Duke is in a class all its own. I mean 100 cocktails may not get you there.

1. Someone shitty will go to a BCS game.

2. 49 comments and nobody has mentioned Steve Bellisari as the worst multiyear starter? He personally set the QB position back 20 years with his “performance” vs UCLA in 2001.

3. Someone will win the conference.

4. Too many to narrow to one, sadly.

1. Sean Glennon still can’t see linebackers running straight at him. (Actually I don’t know that, but I hope so because it makes for comedy viewing.)

2. I’ll go with Papadakis just because I can’t be bothered to think of anyone else.

3. They provide me with Thursday night football, which is like a small methadone dose to get me through to Saturday. Unfortunately, you never know when the dose will arrive in suppository form.

4. Probably the ~ 2 years between passing quals and deciding to drop out of grad school. You don’t coast that long without achieving new levels of persistent mediocrity.

1. A team that already has four losses will win the conference championship game and lose in the Orange Bowl.

2. FSU and Miami will put up another soccer score in their game and people will rave about the defense.

3. If Al Groh doesn’t beat UConn and Pitt at home then he will be looking for a job.

4. Duke will win a conference game this year.

5. Maryland will pummel Rutgers.

1. Xavier Adibi is my father

2. I gotta go crazy here-I want to say Tra Battle or Jasper Sanks or Quincy Carter or even somebody like Dan Inman, but I’m going out on a limb with David Greene. He wasn’t all that bad, but I’m just that big of a DJ Shockley fan.

3. They have like 4 really good basketball programs.

4. June 2004—my first time with an Asian. I was a little too excited I guess.

1. Clempson will start off like a ball of fire and then choke again. Wake will still be good. VT wins the conference.
2. Toss up, either Derrick Taite or Wayne Madkin at Miss State. My vote is for Taite, although I’m not sure he started a lot as a FR.
3. Howard’s Rock. FSU coeds. Drunk UVA Wahoo fans (is that redundant?)
4. Something involving college and alcohol.

1. Wake will not repeat
2. Chris Capps… he may not have started every game for two years, but he started in games in two consecutive seasons when he should have been on the scout team
3. Jenn Sterger is a great role model for little girls with self-esteem issues
4. How is it that even regular readers answered this question with things like school and work performances??? It’s the 4th question folks… I thought Orson’s example answer would have cleared it up for anyone who wasn’t sure.

PJ, so true about Dan Jenkins. Why do you think I’ve read all of his novels?

I’ve always been a big Northwestern fan, by the way. Purple, smallish private school, not even close to being the most popular COLLEGE team in its own town (forget about pro sports)—I can relate. Sadly.

2) Justin Vedder. The worst multiyeared starting quarterback in the Pac-10.

1. That they still have 12[?] teams.
2. Navarre Freaking Lurch. Immune to Heimlich in big games. (I didn’t realize the condition was so contagious.)
3. I hate them less than Notre Dame. Except Miami.
4. “Mr. Blutarsky. 0.0” Me, sophomore year, the result of not actually attending class or taking any exams. Many beers sacrificed themselves for me.

1) I hate BC like Osama hates America. An irrational, deep-seated, old-time-religion sort of hatred. It started on a Novermber Satruday in 1993 in South Bend…
2) Randy Kinder, as lazy and underachieving SOB to wear the Blue and Gold as there ever was. Showed tons of potential as a frosh, then "poof!’ disappeared into medicortiy.
3) It’s not just “FSU then everybody else” any more. The Seminoles now have o actually be ready for more than two or three games a year, and their recent records show it.
4) Blowing a four-stroke lead on the final hole of a golf outing, after teasing my opponents mecilessly on the 18th tee.

1) Orson stole the line about UVA going 5-7 to 7-5. I will add the addendum that they will go to the Continental Tire Bowl. Groh has enough free tires to will them to his great-grandchildren.

2) Hard to say. I’ve been extremely thankful for the 4-year starters I can remember at UVA. They haven’t been good enough to have any that were dissapointments.

3) SEC and Big XII……..you may win the football games but the ACC will absolutely wear you out in a spelling bee or comparing SAT scores.

4) Boston Marathon, 2006. Mediocre performance relative to my level of fitness. I’ll spare you the boring running BS.

1) People will pay attention to the conference until the 2nd weekend and then act all surprised when they learn that the ACC still gets an automatic BCS bid.

2) Eric Bassey – He could blow a coverage like no one else on the Sooners’ roster. Started for four (!!!) years.

3) The ACC is geographicaly diverse.

4) After throwing together an improptu get-together at my place at the last minute, I passed out cold at 11:45pm. Very Mediocre.

lol at the moron who put Brady Quinn as ND’s worst multi-year starter. I think there are plenty of better candidates.
