You sure need one David, or maybe you just need a coach who leaves a QB in the game for more then a 1/2. Maybe its just me but when your QB's spend more time worrying about getting yanked then they do about playing football they aren't going to perform very well.
 
I'm so glad football is over for the Tarheels. What a roller coaster. Started out great but a string of injuries put us out of being competitive.
 
Dang Richard...we're right back where we started.
How about I take the Gators and give you 14 points?
18 smackers?
For a long time there I thought you would be getting back even
on Jan 1.
14 points and the Sooners should be a sure thing.
LOL...I don't want your $. Justa reason to watch a game.
 
Were not back where we started, both games were worth 9 of the 18 dollars so I won 1 and lost 1 which means its 9 now. If the refs hadn't f-ed up that touchdown on the fumble I would have won both and it would be 0. But I'll take the sooners and 14 pts I would think thats a sure thing too but who knows the way this bowl season has been going.

LOL...that's some CU math bro. You owed 18. I lost one. You owe 9.
I won one you owe 18. Split and somehow you gained 9? I'd like to
see that explained on a slide rule . :eek:
So anyway...it's the Gators for me and I'll spot ya 14.
If you want it for 9 fine, but if I lose ya still owe 9. If ya want the whole 18
that's fine too.
 
OK, I'll be first to say it this year.

Clemson will definitely win it all this year!!! :flipoff2:
 
I'll be the first to say we won't then.
UGA won't either though.
USC will be lucky to win 7.
Tarholes will push VT for the division and fall short again probably 8-9 wins.
Wake I have no idea I think about third in the division probably 8 wins.
Am I missing anyone else who chimes in on this thread?
 
I'm proud of the realistic view this year.

UGA won't win it all... but we actually have a better shot at it this year than last. Schedule is much more favorable and even though we lost two premier players, the backups are very strong.

Just ready for it all to start!
 
Tarheels will win the acc this year. Going to beat down all your crappy teams.

I hope all your coaches get fired, I hope your players get caught smoking pot, UNC is #1 all the rest suck. We have the best players in the nation.

I fart in your general direction!

My dad sold all his UNC tickets to my brother. So now I get to spend this football season tailgating with JP and Chuck for a team I don't like but somehow my wife works for them and my cruiser is the exact same colors as Clemsons colors.

It's a mad mad world. Looking forward to some more airplane jumping, cornhole JP dirty sock throwing, fowl mouth teenager talking, and a whole lot of drinking. Going to be a fun year.

My goal is to take up the role of Richard this season. Especially since he was castrated two years ago and while has come to some games he never quite showed up. If you know what I mean.

Boy could I use a beer right now.

What you must be out of your mind. UNC shows a .89734 average player ranking pre season. Hell we are on the Jackson first list. And rank 2nd only to a team that is under investigation for having a keg party in the deans bedroom.

You guys have no idea what your talking about. It's all in the oponents GHB average. By far UNC has that covered especially with ACT and the PCK averages. Hell, have you guys even done your research on who is ranking number one on the R pole?
 
Steen I wish I could believe in what you said, but thanks anyway.

But I can definitely support three things:
1) If Clemson can win the first two, they can take the division barring catastrophe.
2) Dabo Swinney will get more out of his players than Tammy ever did.
3) I am so ready for football to start I wish I could go into a coma for four weeks.

Come on September.
I'm never one to wish my life away but I am sick sick sick of mid-summer sports (i.e. lack thereof).

Bring it on On ON.

I can agree with 2 and 3 but not 1. To win the division we don't need to beat GT We just need to win the 5 games on our side of the division BC, Wake, FSU, Mary, and NCST which is no easy task and then win 1 of the other 3 ACC games. 6-2 and undefeated on your half of the division will definitely win it. I don't think we will go undefeated on our half though so we will need to win 2 of the other 3 if not all of them to have a chance.

If I didn't show up then you didn't even exist. I drove 8 hrs for 4 of 7 home games and was drunk loud and obnoxious at every damn one of them. You were to sober to realize how lame you were. Your lightyears behind my tailgating prowess so don't even pretend to take my spot just make your own niche as the DD and keep my beer cold for the games I make this year.
