Schadenfreude
Clemson’s caused us all enough misery over the last two weeks, so let’s look for joy in other people’s misery.
My misery: For weeks I’ve continued to say that Wake Forest was just a ragtag bunch of pretenders. Well those little bastards have done nothing but prove me wrong, wrong, wrong, and I feel like a giant retard for it. And in general my ability to correctly pick the winners of ACC games is roughly about 40% at this point. I made a prediction table after week 8. Based on that, this week’s picks are: Clemson over NCSU, BC over Duke, FSU over Wake, Maryland over Miami, and Georgia Tech over UNC.
Boston College: They were just about to ease into the Atlantic Division Drivers Seat until they got beat by that indefatigable Wake Forest team. Ask yourself this though, are a pair of losses to Virginia Tech and Maryland really worse than a single loss to Wake Forest. That’s a toss up right there.
The ACC Florida Teams: FSU and Miami are having a rough go of it this year. Each team is just 5-4. And thus far they both have losing records in conference.
Miami: Speaking of the U, they’ve got horrible, horrible fan support. A pretty good Virginia Tech team came to town last week and only 41,504 fans showed up at the Orange Bowl.
To top off the u’s misery (yes, that was lower case for a reason), one of their D linemen were shot and killed outside his apartment in the past 48 hrs. No, nothing there is out of control, no reason to look into that program NCAA, no reason at all. Don’t you have some athletes with skills to make legitimate money in other sports to crack down on? Oh wait, Bloom left Colorado.
Amazing, after finally submitting to the Wake Forest machine you bash them in the BC loss vs Clemsons Maryland/VT losses. I would say that Clemson is on the losing end of that argument as Wake has proved themselves. They may not show it in the rankings but they are a team, much like BC last year, that finds ways to win…..continuously.
Well, yeah, I did kinda bash on Wake in the BC comment.
However it wasn’t so much a commentary on the current Wake Season. It was more about the struggles we’ve had with them in the past that were unacceptable.
