August 10, 20222022 Duke Preview - Mike Elko's Year Zero (w/ Steve Wiseman)
Our preview series continues with a trip to Durham, where we'll preview the Duke Blue Devils' 2022 campaign. Steve Wiseman (@stevewisemanNC) of the Raleigh News-Observer and the Durham Herald-Sun joined the program again to discuss the start of a rebuild under new head coach Mike Elko, INCLUDING:
Mike Elko's staff looks a little different than some other young ACC head coaches' initial staffs have looked in recent years, and it's a good thing!

We don't know who the starter will be, in part because the quarterback situation may remain very fluid into the season, and even within possessions.

Why is the plan for 2022 not to go pure "youth movement" with an eye towards the future?
All of this, plus a look at a schedule that might even be workable for a rebuilding team, record predictions, and MORE!

August 05, 20222022 Virginia Preview - The Elliott Era Begins (w/ Justin Ferber)
Our preview series rolls on with a look at the Virginia Cavaliers' 2022 campaign. Justin Ferber (@Justin_Ferber) of CavsCorner.com joined once again to discuss the start of the Tony Elliott era in Charlottesville, INCLUDING:
Tony Elliott took over as a first-time head coach, and has a staff around him with minimal Power 5 experience -- is that cause for concern?

Brennan Armstrong and almost all of his top receivers are back...but can they operate alongside a brand new group of offensive linemen?

The defense can't get much worse than it was last year -- but will it be better?
All of this, plus a look at a fortuitously-structured schedule, record predictions, and MORE!

August 01, 20222022 Georgia Tech Preview - Do or Die for Geoff Collins (w/ Kelly Quinlan)
Our previews continue with a look at Joey's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a pivotal year for Geoff Collins and his coaching staff. Kelly Quinlan (@Kelly_Quinlan) of JacketsOnline.com joined once again to discuss Year 4 of Collins' Yellow Jackets program, INCLUDING:
If coaching was always the issue, will coaching staff changeover make the difference?

How does Jeff Sims need to take a major step forward in 2022?

Has offensive line depth improved, or will 1-2 injuries totally derail the offense (again)?

Will new voices on the coaching staff fix what ailed one of the worst secondaries in the country last year?
All of this, plus a look at an infamously brutal schedule, win predictions, and MORE!

July 22, 20222022 Boston College Eagles Preview - Time to Take a Step Forward (w/ Dan Rubin)
Our preview series continues with a trip to New England as we preview Boston College's 2022 season. With Mike still on paternity leave, Joey talked with Dan Rubin (@BCDanRubin) of BCEagles.com about all things Eagles as we head into the fall, INCLUDING:
Everything we've seen through two years tells us that Jeff Hafley is a better coach than Steve Addazio was...except in the record column, somehow?

Phil Jurkovec is back and should be fully healthy, with multiple of his top weapons around him back and another big-time TE transferring in...but there's one potentially missing piece on offense that could determine how the season goes.

The schedule should really work in Boston College's favor, both in who they play and when they play them.
All of this, plus record predictions, foreshadowing of the inevitable upcoming Dad Episode, and much more!

July 19, 20222022 Pittsburgh Panthers Preview - Repeat Coastal Champions? (w/ Jim Hammett)
We kick off our 2022 previews series with a look at our reigning, defending, undisputed champions of the ACC -- Pat Narduzzi's Pittsburgh Panthers! With Mike still out on paternity leave, Joey got with our favorite Steel City correspondent Jim Hammett (@JimHammett) of Panther-Lair.com. They discussed all things Pittsburgh coming into 2022, INCLUDING:
Was 2021 a culmination of Pat Narduzzi's tenure to date and something repeatable, or just catching lightning in a bottle and unlikely to happen again?

Lots of turnover on offense between the coaching staff and roster within the passing game, but plenty of reason for optimism for continued success as well.

Some things are changing on offense, but Pitt's defense never really seems to change much!

Starting the season with the revival of the Backyard Brawl is exciting, but potentially risky?
All of this, plus a look at the schedule, record predictions, and much more!

July 06, 2022ACC Schedule Shakeup & Conference Realignment Updates
With Mike out on paternity leave, Joey jumped on to give some thoughts on a couple of particularly newsworthy recent developments:
As we've previously discussed was a possibility, the ACC announced an update to their football scheduling model beginning in 2023! Let's talk about what it looks like, why it's a good thing, and some odd quirks for the announced matchups.

USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten -- here's why that matters for the ACC and its fans.

June 30, 2022 A Preview to the Season Previews - ACC Win Total Predictions
Mike and Joey are back, kicking off Season 7 with a look at the win totals for every team in the ACC, and some early picks (before we've properly previewed them all). Lots of these win totals are pretty on-point with our expectations -- but which ones offer some betting value? Join us in getting an initial feel for every team in the ACC this fall! PLUS, the guys go over some housekeeping, in particular about the upcoming preview season and why it will look very different from prior seasons. All of that, and much more!

June 23, 2022Tell Us About Your Team! - NC State w/ Derek Taylor
We're wrapping up Season 6 with an in-depth look at the NC State Wolfpack, as we're joined by long-time listener and Raleigh resident Derek Taylor! We discussed all sorts of things surrounding NC State, including:
With all of the big-name players that have come through Raleigh, how has the team only managed one double-digit win season in its entire history??

NC State shares the state of North Carolina with three other Power-5 programs -- how does that impact their perception?

North Carolina has a lot of high school football talent, but recruiting in-state kids is a little more complicated than you'd think...

How is Dave Doeren's relationship with his boss an unusual one in college football?
All of this, and much, much more on the Season 6 finale, and our newest episode of Tell Us About Your Team!

May 19, 2022Ditching Divisions, Changing the Scheduling Model, ACC Championship Odds, and....NIL-Funded Walk-Ons?
The guys got back together to talk about some recent news updates surrounding ACC football, INCLUDING:
The NCAA dropped a new ruling that no longer requires conferences to organize by divisions, paving the way for the ACC to ditch the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions in football and put in a much more rotational "3-5-5" scheduling model. Is this a good thing?

We've got some preseason ACC Championship odds to discuss, and you may be interested in a few teams at the numbers they're getting...

Two different ACC transfer candidates have given us updates that felt very worthy of discussion, for very different reasons.

We close with a listener question about the legality of NIL-funded walk-ons -- and the answer might surprise you!

May 11, 2022Tell Us About Your Team! - Boston College Eagles w/ Kevin Carpenter
The guys got together to continue the Tell Us About Your Team series, this time welcoming on Kevin Carpenter to tell us about his Boston College Eagles. We talked to Kevin about the things that make Boston College the way that it is:
The Eagles are relatively historically successful (beyond what you might realize)...

Is the perception of being a college sports team in a pro sports-focused town accurate?

How does geography impact Boston College's ability to keep up with other schools' facilities?

The Eagles are in a particularly critical era as it relates to the school's administration following some recent turnover...
All of this, and much, much more on our second episode of Tell Us About Your Team!
