Boston College: You're up, you're down. No one outside of Chestnut Hill really knows or follows this program. There were at least 2 obvious holds (probably much more) when Matt Ryan scrambled for what seemed like over an hour behind the LOS on that last TD pass in their 14-10 win years ago.

Clemson: I finally respect Dabo now. Still, He irks me. The thing I've learned is if you throw enough money at something, it could work. Also, if you play with the numbers, your academic ranking can skyrocket.

Duke: Before joining the ACC, I thought they were a bunch of nerdy punks. Hmm I was right. But, I do like Cutcliffe's Frank Beamer-like demeanor. He's turned it around, yet no one on campus cares.

Florida State: Bowden was to Beamer what Coach Red Beaulieu was to Coach Klein (except Klein got Beaulieu's number in the end). Jimbo is an obnoxious fast talking car salesman that happens to know some football. We couldn't beat FSU before the ACC and we still can't but now it applies to every sport. The only fun part of being in the ACC with FSU is hating FSU.

Georgia Tech: I've learned that the best team always loses when the Techs play. I also learned that home field advantage means absolutely nothing between these two. I actually enjoy PJ until he plays us. Then I realize he is the devil.

Louisville: Oh crap. We're in the same conference with these clowns again. Better watch our backs.

Miami: Similar to GT, but the rivalry still means something to me going back to the Big East days. Their fans were a joke before and that remains the same in the ACC. Still waiting for Swofford's coveted ACCCG between them and FSU.

North Carolina: I'm afraid to talk about them. The Carolina 4 mafia may be listening. So I'll say this if they cheated, I'm sure it was for a good reason.

NC State: Every team in every sport seems to crap the bed. Yet, they seem to covet the challenge of destroying or embarrassing good teams. I would appreciate NCSU more if they could play every game versus every opponent like they do against superior competition. But they just don't.

Notre Dame: Are they REALLY in the ACC? Just glad we came from behind and punked them in our first ever meeting.

Pittsburgh: Similar to NCSU. Very annoying, but do from time to time get fruit from the tree. I predict Narduzzi ends up in a mental facility soon.

Syracuse: I hate the Jiffy Pop Dome. In the words of Forrest Gump. that's all I got to say about that.

Virginia: Dysfunctional brothers before we joined the ACC. dysfunctional brothers now. We love to hate you and the feeling is mutual from Charlottesville. Yet, we get along in our daily lives quite well. However, I did learn a few things. 1) Zima is no longer available. 2) You can look cooler with you polo shirt collar turned up with your Oakley's hanging off the back of your neck. 3) You made me aware of the Hokie Rule of 3 (to have at least 3 Hokie items on the back of any VT alumnae's car). 4) It is required that all Hoos buy a Volkswagen of some sort upon graduating and snagging that 1st job. 5) And that you can really irritate a Hoo if you call the "Grounds" and nice campus.

Wake Forest: Thank you for all the great memories so far. Thank you for showing us that you can cheat but not get penalized (yes, they provided the answers and that makes them a cheater). It must be a North Carolina thing. Also, thank you (and thank Beamer) for showing me that you can go 4 quarters without scoring a single point. 3 hours of my life I'll never get back.
