    Join a conference they say, it is better they say

    In addition, as someone who lives in PSU country with friends and family having attended and rooted for the school, Thursday Night Labor Day weekend is preferable for them. They get to watch their team before most other fanbases, they don’t have to wait two more days and they can enjoy the...

    Sure, but they didn’t. And we saw what happened. I’ve seen what happened when we opened up with Bama and Boise. I also saw what happened when we opened up with Pitt on Monday Night. Yes, College Football is better for having that game. But I’m failing to see how a conference game, on Thursday...

    Can Spencer Rattler return to Heisman status with South Carolina?

    No But he can probably be better not having to look over his shoulder. The question with Rattler is his maturity. Not exactly known for being a loved teammate.

    As noted above, PSU used to open up against Rutgers and Maryland, seems par for the course. And considering our performances in season opener the last few years, opening up with Duke wouldn’t be the worst idea. It took us four weeks to legit get over the ND loss last year. That’s the deal...

    PSU opened up at Wisconsin last year and it was one of the better games of the day. A conference game to open, especially in the road, is not an easy layup for any team. Kudos to both teams.

    So, kinda curious your point. If PSU isn’t playing a conference game to open the season. Then they’d be playing a Non-Conference game. Which would either be a Big P5 money game or a cupcake at home they’d be paying to come and play. Either way, money is the factor in all of it.

    Also 80’s PSU Openers -Colgate -Temple -Cincinnati (not the power they are now) -Nebraska (first kickoff classic, got their head kicked in) -Rutgers -Maryland -Temple -Bowling Green -Virginia -Virginia Purdue seems about right given the history. Does it not?

    I don’t think we wanna bring up 80’s PSU and where they lie in the afterlife.

    A Look Back on Top-5 ACC Matchups

    97 UNC is my favorite. The hype heading into that game and weekend (all four teams in the top four were plying each other) was so huge.

    Why did IB hate B Kelly

    I don’t think LSU fans are worrying too much. They’ve won a National Title with a guy who ate grass and Cajun Fred Flintstone.

    6 teams favored in every reg season game.

    Confused by that as well. Maybe Kentucky? I know Oregon was +18 last I saw. That’s the only other one I woulda made the case for but the line is the line currently.

    CBS pre-season poll released

    Have you watched us at any point the last five years? The ACC is absolutely loaded at QB. Half the league is guys who will have their name called next April. And there’s a lot of returning production in particular in the Atlantic.

    OMG, it's gettin real guys!!

    Sure, but it still feels like forever. Camp always was the same. First couple of days you’re excited, you’re popping pads, excelling in new drills, ready to go, but by the middle of it, it’s Groundhog Day and you’re bored and tired of hitting the same guys over and over again. Yes its close...

    So give me your Dark Horse Conference Championship Games.

    I don’t know about “huge margins” Clemson still has the best talent in the league so the benefit of the doubt goes their way, but NC State is pretty unanimously the second pick and myself and others I’ve seen have called for them to win the division and expected to be the real threat to the...

    So give me your Dark Horse Conference Championship Games.

    NC State is a popular pick to win the Division. I don’t know if they qualify as a “Dark Horse” especially with what they have on the roster.

    Man, The BIG is not fucking around with realignment. They even managed to snag an IVY League Traditional Power to join!
