ACC Rountable iz 1 in middel.
- ACC Roundtable time once again with the Georgia Tech fanatics’ at From the Rumble Seat engineering it(see what I did there?). I attempted to answer all the questions with charts/graphs, but became frustrated and gave you this(lol).
1. Alright fellas, this is your turn to apologize to the Boston College Eagles who went to Hell and back and have now arrived as the 3rd team for the ACC (and only team in the Atlantic) to be bowl eligible. You know you were snickering in the preseason. Also, give a high five to Mark Herzlich for finishing his last treatment of chemo.
Hmmm, I was pondering this preseason, but still, against all odds, picked the Eagles towards the bottom of the ACC. BC does it somehow and it impresses me. The Herzlich story is inspiring for sure…*high-five*.
2. An Orange Bowl victory over a Boise/ TCU or an Orange Bowl victory over a Penn State/ Cincy team – which means more for the conference? Is there even a difference?
There is a difference–but it depends on the opponent. A win over Penn State goes a much longer way than Cincy, but the ACC would be best served trying to defeat TCU for a third time or Boise State than a Big East team for national recognition–the ACC could do what BAMA couldn’t do last season.
3. Enough with the CJ Spillers, the Christian Ponders, and the Jacory Harrises. We wanna talk defense. Who is the defensive POTY thus far in the ACC?
Harrises? Anyway, Clemson’s DeAndre McDaniel is the choice for me–his pick 6 in the Miami game was huge and he has come up big all season.
4. Recently, Bird compared the Atlantic to the Big 12 North. Is this a fair comparison? The Coastal is currently 8-2 against the Atlantic. There are still 8 interdivision games left. Can the Atlantic redeem itself this season?
The gap really is not that wide as we saw Clemson go to Miami and win–but who really knows if the Atlantic can redeem themselves with what is left(probably not).
5. Tailgating is essential to all things football. In Atlanta, the tailgating game of choice is cornhole. What is your game of choice to pass the time?
Like Testudo Times, I like to throw around the football around the tailgate and talking up the game coming up.
6. Let’s cut to the chase. There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Sharks are winners and they don’t look back ’cause they don’t have necks. Necks are for sheep. Is your team full of sharks or is your team full of sheep?
The ACC says, “Baaaaa!” Prime example: Virginia Tech following North Carolina off the cliff last week.
7. Create a cocktail in the spirit of your school and explain it to us. Non-edible ingredients are allowed and encouraged.
The ACC’s cocktail has the blood shooting out of Coach K’s eyes as Duke football is good, the tears of those who suffer through StinespringOffense, a bit of carbon from the burnt defenses at NC State/FSU/Georgia Tech/Maryland, and a little bit of oil dripping from the machine that is CPJ’s “wishbone”(/Davies’d) offense.
