FTRS ACC Bowl Games

UNC-Pitt: Ted was the only person who picked Pitt and got the win. Pitt was held to its 3rd worst rushing production of the season (due to sacks). Freshman star Dion Lewis piled up 159 yards against the Tarheels and really never stopped churning his dual tree stumps. No other back put up as many yards against the '09 Heels as Lewis. However, Jonathan Dwyer did put up 158 yards on 9 fewer carries.

BC-USC: I really wanted to see BC win. USC is at program low point. BC was at a relative program low point. The BC defense did all they could to win the game. They just needed a little more efficiency from the 25 year old freshman, David Shinskie.

Clemson-UK: This was actually a good game (if you cared to stay up until 12:00 AM EST to watch the whole damn game). I think a regular season meeting would have resulted in Clemson blowing out the Wildcats. The lack of motivation and pep was definitely evident in the first half. What kept Clemson alive, to me, was a noticeable talent disparity. Clemson looked faster and stronger while UK was flat out better prepared. Rich Brooks put his players in a position to win. Luckily for Dabo, talent and big plays won out for Clemson. I will give some credit to Dabo for his second half adjustments. Once Clemson found some run-pass balance, they knocked UK out in the second half.

Currently, our ACC Bowl Prediction golf scores are as follows: Ted -3, Winfield -1, Bird +1, and Dane +3. Dane didn't pick so he's got a big mountain to climb. Ted should win out no matter what now as we all picked ACC teams to win the last 3 non-GT ACC bowls. Oh well.

funny you mention nothing about this BIG TEN-ACC match

all that speed……….whoooooooooo. miami. overrated miami! oh by the way iowa beat wisky at wisky. something espn would never acknowledge

I cant stop laughing at the sight of a team acting like floridian in canada ONLY IT WAS FREAKING ORLANDO!

this has been our continued arguement all along. the southern teams have basically had every bowl game a home game or cushy close to home game while the northern teams get bashed for losing away bowl games they have travel far for. make the gators, hurricons,LSU, texas, fsu and even USC go north and its a little different. make them play in montana, ohio, IOWA,idaho, yeah they are different states, pennsylvania, NEW ENGLAND and watch the slow boys look like frozen nancys with skirts on

bitter much?

You realize you’re complaining to fans of an ACC team? We get more hate in a day than the Big 10 gets in a year.

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

That's just objectively wrong

No conference has received more media criticism than the Big Ten. If the ACC has a problem, and it does, it is that the media keeps portraying it as “on the rise” only to see it fail to live up to expectations.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

See you don't live

in SEC country. There are constant comparisons to the SEC for us. You guys just happen to play them in bowl games once a year. Our teams play SEC teams 1-2 times in the regular season. We play several teams in hoops. We play several series in baseball. Trust me when I say that the ACC gets a lot more hate than the Big 10 when it comes to Southern media.

Maybe it’s different up North but down here, the sky is falling on the ACC daily.

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

Also

I think you have us mistaken with the SEC as they are the ones who copy righted that ‘speed’ comment, not the ACC. Get lost troll.

I know everyone says this, but ...

BC really got jobbed by two pretty bad officiating calls. If those two calls go as they should have, it’s a whole different game in the Emerald Bowl. Still, I don’t think USC outclassed BC by any means.

I agree

When people put USC on this massive pedestal and I see a down BC team play them like they did, I don’t see USC as this super power. It kinda helps you realize that there’s not really a unstoppable superpower in CFB anymore. Anybody can beat anybody. It’s just about matchups.

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.
