The ACC

yesterday, Boston College upset by Vandy for Vandy’s first bowl win since 1955, then last night, GA Tech got destroyed 38-3 by LSU.

This doesn’t look good for the ACC.

New Year's Resolution #1

 - watch as little of Lou Holtz as possible. Seriously, right now, instead of watching that crapbasket at halftime we find other things… like right now – the Rose Bowl parade is much better viewing than the ESPN talking heads.

Block C Preview

Clemson site Block C did a preview of the game.

Willy Mac: I’ve stated before that Nebraska is highly touted to the point where it’s almost completely annoying. I think Nebraska is good, but they’re not good enough. Sobriety and media outlets telling me what I need to think (RE: Alabama vs. Clemson), I really do think that Clemson has enough athletes to hold them to a certain amount of points and run right by them when they need to. Nebraska is not impressive on film and they run like they have brick feet. It’s going to be a scoring contest for sure, but we blow by them in the end.

Clemson 42, Nebraska 35
