Comments and suggestions are always welcome! Standard 1024×768 (well ok so it’s 701 due to the new column)

Both the ACC Helmet Schedule and the SEC Helmet Schedule will be maintained throughout the season and can always be obtained from the sidebar to your right Just look for these icons every Monday after a game weekend for the new one!!

Just finished up the ACC and SEC Sporting Gnomes 2008 Helmet Schedules (or SG08HS’s if you will). Just have to put the finishing touches on the servers and html and we will have them rarin to go. I apologize in advance for errors in the schedules and appreciate any corrections that you guys might find and mention. You will notice that I have changed the size of the image this year from a standard 1024×768 to accommodate the new column of conference record along with the standard overall record. This should be fun maintaining 2 schedules.

I hope to have these links incorporated into the schedules in the near future but for now:
Helmets provided by the awesome site MG’s Helmets. Check out this site for a whole slew of helmets from NFL, to NCAA to NHL. Awesome artwork over there.

Logos (background artwork) provided by SportsLogos.Net. Another great site with multitudes of logos from almost every sporting team out there.

Yesterday’s win over Duke was certainly enjoyable.

But I really want to beat these eggheads.

UPDATE: Damn it!

Though I have been living in the Charlotte area for 6 football seasons, I have yet to even pretend to read the Charlotte Observer. Personally it’s more than a bit liberal for my tastes, and somewhat understandably (many of the writers are Chapel Hill alums) geared towards “Big 4″ school coverage anytime college news, sports or otherwise, is the topic. Anyway, about a week and a half ago I posted an article discussing the brief history of the ACC-CG and where I see it going. Now, I’m pretty much a hack writer at best but if I didn’t know any better I would say they needed an article to preceed today’s announcement, jumped online, read our comments, threw in a couple official stats to back it upon and sent it to the presses. No additional insight or reasoning, just print block to fill space between adds. The article pretty much reinforces the whole reason I don’t take the local paper. Even when something worth reading is in there, it’s late enough I would have already found the info to start with. In The Observer’s defense, they quickly posted the news that Charlotte will be hosting in 2010 and 11. Tampa (shocker) was awarded the game for the next two seasons, as much because of current Charlotte Center City development that should be complete by 2010 that should act as a large attraction to fans, coupled with a large conference in 08 that should have Center City already booked up for the normal CG weekend.

Clemson makes it’s voice heard and jumps BC to take the #2 ACC Bowl game. Thanks TigerNation, it’s because of our travelling brood that the bowls always have a second guess on their minds when Clemson is an option.

Reportedly this past Wednesday Steve Spurrier was spoted on a college campus other than USC’s. The News & Observer out of Raleigh has discovered that Spurrier has been seen on Duke’s campus and has been meeting with the AD. A school spokes person has outwardly commented that they are looking for a replacement for Ted Roof. Check the articles out, 1 and 2.

I didn’t want to do it, but I had to put an L in Clemson’s row.

Man that sucked. At least it was an extra-divisional loss, which means that we could still make the ACCCG and could even see the Jackets again in Jacksonville.

Congrats to the rest of the ACC OOC games, Maryland over Rutgers, FSU over ‘Bama and UVA over Pitt.

Now, let’s move on to next week…..

ACC didn’t play that well this week OOC with ECU taking down the heels and LSU simply embarrassing what everyone believes will be the ACC Champ in Virginia Tech. The Tigers however, go 2 and 0 so it’s not all that bad.

GET YOSELF SOME GNOME SCHEDULE AND MAKE YO DESKTOP LOOK PURTY!! Sho nuff.
