So Carolina and Duke will meet Saturday with both teams unranked for the second of the last three sesons.

A head's up, tomorrow is National Signing Day, but UNC will not add anyone to its class of 2023. All memmebrs of that class signed in December.

Let’s be honest guys, we need to win both of these this week. Hopefully RJ is ok and we get good news on Puff by Duke. Capel wants this one but I think we should be ready to go and be aggressive. Hopefully we get bench support and see more of Washington and Nickel. Let’s go Heels !

Marks is a dook tool so take this with a grain of salt.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Atlantic Coast Conference Jim Tatum Award winner Dillan Gibbons of Florida State headlines the 2022 All-ACC Academic Football Team, announced Tuesday by the league office.


All 14 ACC Football member institutions were represented on the team. Clemson led all schools with 29 selections, followed by Duke (25), Virginia (24), Virginia Tech (24) and Pitt (22). The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic Football Team every year since 1954.

Three-time All-ACC Academic Team selections include Boston College DE Marcus Valdez, Clemson PK B.T. Potter, NC State OL Grant Gibson and LS Joe Shimko, Pitt DL Deslin Alexandre, Virginia Tech LB Dax Hollifield and Wake Forest WR Taylor Morin.

Forty-one members of the All-ACC Academic Football Team also earned some form of all-conference recognition. Clemson’s Will Shipley (RB/AP), Duke’s Graham Barton (OL), Florida State’s Dillan Gibbons (OL), Miami’s Lou Hedley (P), NC State’s Grant Gibson (C) and Chandler Zavala (OG), North Carolina’s Drake Maye (QB/ACC Player of the Year), and Pitt’s Marcus Minor (OG) were first-team all-conference players in addition to All-ACC Academic Team selections.

Academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0-grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. In addition, student-athletesmust compete in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests.

for 2023.

That should be a big help for new OL coach Clements.

We seem to have a knack of being competitive in almost every game. If we are supposed to lose, we make it competitive. If we are supposed to have a cake walk, we make it competitive?

On the one hand, it makes every game interesting. But that isn't necessarily good for us old farts.

The question, though, is WHY is this happening?

How would that team do in the NBA, or Eurpope, or Australia, or wherever?

I tend not to follow our guys when they leave, unless they are doing well enough to make the news. So I'll leave it to others to come up with the players who are still active.

Sorry to be late on this. I was going to post this earlier.
