September 14, 20212021 Week 2 Recap - Florida State Shocked, Pittsburgh Breaks the Streak, and Several Key Injuries
We knew that Week 2 in the ACC would include someone losing to an FCS team....we just didn't know who, when, or how. Well...
Florida State lost in excruciatingly painful fashion, and we should really start to question what we thought we knew about them at this time last week.

Pittsburgh scored more points than Tennessee did on Saturday, which was good, but their overall performance left a few things to be desired.

NC State lost convincingly to an average Mississippi State team, leaving us wondering exactly how that happened.

Miami just barely found a way to survive against App State.

Boston College won the battle against UMass, but may have lost the war in losing Phil Jurkovec for an extended period following a wrist injury.
All of that, plus weekly awards, a couple of listener questions get answered, and MORE!

September 09, 2021 2021 Week 2 Preview - Upsets Ahoy, or Taking Care of Business?
The guys are back previewing Week 2 in the ACC, as the conference looks to follow-up a less-than-ideal Week 1 by getting back on track with a full slate of out-of-conference games, including:
- Pittsburgh is only a slight favorite in Knoxville against a really underwhelming Tennessee fan -- the Panthers are going to dominate here...right?!?
- NC State heads to Starkville for a really interesting matchup against Mike Leach's Mississippi State team, where the Wolfpack will try to contain the Bulldogs' Air Raid offense.
- Can Miami and Virginia Tech avoid the huge emotional letdowns in matchups they should win comfortably?
- The ACC has 6 games against FCS opponents this week, including two that could legitimately end up as fireable offenses if the ACC squad were to lose....so, is anyone losing this week?
All of this, plus locks of the week, VanGorderCoin bets, and MORE!

September 06, 20212021 Week 1 Recap - Disappointing Finishes for Clemson & Miami, Virginia Tech in the Coastal Driver's Seat, and Downright Embarrassment for Georgia Tech & Duke
The guys got together to recap the action from an eventful Week 1 in the ACC, including:
Clemson's loss to Georgia might just point to a little bit more mortality from them than we've seen in recent years.

The issue with Miami's loss to Alabama isn't the "what", it's the "how".

Florida State looked SIGNIFICANTLY improved in an overtime loss to a high-caliber Notre Dame team.

Virginia Tech's win over North Carolina taught us quite a bit about both programs and what they'll be capable of this year.

Georgia Tech lost to Northern Illinois, and Joey's pretty much done with the Geoff Collins era.

Lots of teams in the conference took care of their business and won comfortably!
All of this, plus the return of weekly awards, and MORE!

September 01, 20212021 Week 1 Preview - Clemson-Georgia, UNC-Virginia Tech, and a WHOLE Lotta Locks
At long last, it's time to talk about actual football as the 2021 ACC Football season gets started! We previewed all 13 (!!!) games on this weekend's slate involving ACC teams, including:
North Carolina visits Virginia Tech to kick off conference play within the ACC, and there's plenty of good reason that the spread projects this game to be as close as it does...

Clemson takes on an extremely talented georgia team in Charlotte in a game that should set the tone for the rest of the season and the chase for a College Football Playoff berth....unless it doesn't?

Miami gets a shot at taking down Alabama, and we're here to tell you why this game may well be closer than you think.

Georgia Tech is an 18-point favorite against literally anyone, and yet that's not as crazy as it sounds after the last couple of years.
Plus, another new pick-tracking game, Mike's got a LOT of pent-up locks he needs to get out, other picks we're interested in this weekend, and much more!

August 27, 20212021 Duke Preview (feat. Steve Wiseman) - David Cutcliffe's Last Stand, or a Bounce-Back Campaign?
We wrap up our Season Previews series with a look at the Duke Blue Devils in 2021, with some help from our friend Steve Wiseman (@stevewisemanNC) of the Herald-Sun and the Raleigh News-Observer. There was plenty to discuss, including:
Is it time for Duke and David Cutcliffe to go their separate ways, and if not, what type of season would expedite that divorce?

Will Gunnar Holmberg be able to limit turnovers better than Chase Brice did in 2020?

There's no clear returning star on the defensive line -- but that's not a problem, historically, in Durham.
All of this, plus a look at a tough schedule, record predictions, and MORE!

August 25, 20212021 NC State Preview (feat. Matt Carter) - Continuing to Build in Raleigh
As we near the end of our Season Previews series, we brought on Matt Carter from The Wolfpacker (@TheWolfpacker) on the Rivals network to preview NC State's upcoming 2021 campaign. We hit on various topics of note in Raleigh, including:
Perceptions and narratives around Dave Doeren and the Wolfpack program are all accurate, depending on how you want to frame them.

What's the ceiling for this offense (with all of its returning production) if Devin Leary is able to stay healthy for the entire season?

Just how good can this defense be, even after the loss of Alim McNeil up front?
All of that, plus a look at a workable schedule, record predictions, and MORE!

August 23, 20212021 Virginia Tech Preview (feat. Paul VanWagoner & Andrew Alix) - Good Year or Goodbye for Justin Fuente?
We continue our Season Previews with a look at Mike's Hokies, as we're joined by his ESPN Blacksburg colleagues Paul VanWagoner (@PaulVWags) and Andrew Alix (@AndrewAlixRadio) in one of the most ambitious crossover events of all time. There was a ton to discuss, INCLUDING:
What will it take this year for Justin Fuente to keep his job, following a postseason press conference where the AD announced he wouldn't be fired last year?

Braxton Burmeister is an impressive athlete, but can he refine his passing enough to ensure balance within the Hokies' offense?

Is this the best receiving corps in the ACC?

Year 1 under Justin Hamilton saw the defense struggle but also show flashes of greatness -- can they be more consistent in Year 2?
PLUS, a look at a schedule that could go a variety of different ways, record predictions, references to wrestling, and MORE!

August 20, 20212021 North Carolina Preview (feat. Lauren Brownlow) - Tar Heels' Time to Shine?
Our Season Previews continue, as we're visited by the incredible Lauren Brownlow (@LEBrownlow) of 99.9 The Fan and WRALSportsFan.com to preview the Tar Heels in 2021. The media's preseason favorite in the Coastal still has questions to answer though, including:
What development is needed from Sam Howell to keep up the offensive production?

Just how important is Tennessee RB transfer Ty Chandler to the offense this year?

Can the defense put it all together in Year 3 under Jay Bateman?
PLUS, a somewhat tricky schedule, win predictions, who's got UNC heading to Charlotte, and MORE!

August 18, 20212021 Louisville Preview (feat. Mark Ennis) - The Roller Coaster Ride Continues
We're coming down the stretch of our Season Previews series, as this time we visit with Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) from The Drive on 93.9 The Ville to discuss the ACC's newest members as they attempt to bounce back from a tough 2020 campaign, including:
Scott Satterfield and his staff didn't follow up 2019's 8-5 finish particularly well, finishing 4-7, with Satterfield then getting caught interviewing for the South Carolina job. Is Scott Satterfield really already on the hot seat going into Year 3?

Can Malik Cunningham take a significant step forward and reduce his turnovers to help elevate a new supporting cast of skill talent?

Is Year 3 when the defense will finally start to really gel under Bryan Brown?
All of this, plus a schedule that makes Louisville one of the conference's biggest wild cards this year, record predictions, and MORE!
