    What if the SEC decides to finish off the ACC?

    If its a market thing, the only schools in the ACC that can provide a market to match most current SEC schools are North Carolina, Virginia and Cal. Clemson has very little market outside northwestern SC and western NC. FSU is overwhelmed by UF in Florida and has no market whatsoever outside...

    Coaching Carousel 2024

    Just saw on one of the talking boards that Bill Belichick is talking with the powers that be at North Carolina. Anything to that?

    JessN: Auburn wrap-up: Bama saves some of its best for last

    Great analysis, Jess. One of the best descriptions of the year for one of the best performances of the year. One thing for sure. If Alabama is in the playoffs, more people will be watching than will watch if Alabama is not there. I know that is true here in North Carolina where there a lot...

    JessN: Mercer Wrap-up: Bama tunes up for stretch run with some FCS carnage

    I wish we could go back and redo the Vanderbilt game! As usual, a great post, Jess.

    Poor TV in North Carolina

    I started this at 4:07 pm. The Alabama game is NOT ON TV (Direct TV) here. But the following games are (scanned through the TV Guide) Missouri-USC East UVa-Notre Dame Michigan State-Illinois Penn State- Purdue James Madison-Old Dominion Baylor-West Virginia Boston College-SMU Nebraska - USC...

    JessN: Mercer Game Preview: Bama gets a quality FCS opponent; can Tide keep its focus?

    If LSU can't score 20 points, why would one think that Mercer could.

    Poll: Mercer v. Alabama: How long do you let Milroe play?

    Here's the dilemma. Milroe needs to get enough playing time to keep his record high in terms of national statistics/Heisman, etc. It would not be fair to him to bench him most of the game.

    You are right on, Slowpoke Catracho. 56-3!

    JessN: Georgia wrap-up: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Great expression for explaining the second half. "We were playing the clock." I hope our play callers got this message.

    JessN: Georgia preview: Old versus new has new meaning in this series

    He will win if Georgia wins the championship.

    JessN: Wisconsin wrap-up: DeBoer's first road win comes in relatively convincing fashion

    Question about holding by the offensive line. Is it possible that the degree to which holding is called varies with the crew of referees? I have heard it said that holding could be called on every play. It would be interesting to see an academic type study analyzing the kind and frequency...

    SEC Preview and Predictions, Week 3

    Please forgive a slight departure from the topic, but I just had to share with you a score that was just right for my situation. Although I am Alabama all the way, having taught there for ten years a long time ago, I still have an affection for my two alma maters Wake Forest and UVa...

    JessN: WKU wrap-up: New Regime, Same Old Domination

    Did I just miss it, or has anything been said about the center position?

    BREAKING Big Ten, SEC creating joint advisory group of ADs, presidents to address college sports problems

    This issue has been on the horizon for a long time. It is my understanding that the only schools in the ACC that either of the conferences would want would be Virginia and UNC. No other school has the "market" that those schools have. Lots of talk about Clemson and Florida State, but Clemson...
