THAT'S FUNNY...

Tell me something doc...How does that fact that Maryland Public School coaches won't schdule Private schools make a "huge" impact on the ACC? Please, enlighten us...I think you said something about not having big game exprience...well, let's take an example...Maryland freshman RB Josh Allen is a local kid out of Eleanor Roosevelt HS, just about 5 miles away from College Park. Now, during his senior year, he played some "decent" games in his regular season (PG county isn't the strongest in the area) and he played (and lost) in the 4A state finals...is that lack of big game experience...well, if you do indeed think it is, just take a look at his stats through 6 games this season (he has only played in 3 games). My point is, your threory doesn't hold any weight...if someone can play, they can play.

Just because you seem to think that the DC area is weak and doesn't produce top-notch games every weekend, like obviously every game in Ohio is, doesn't mean that they are not playing in big games. Take for example, the recent battle between Georgetown Prep (#2 in the Metro area) vs their hated rival Landon...far from a marqee match-up, but to those kids, it is the biggest game of the year. GP, who has been handing everyone their lunch this season, only defeated a weak Landon team, 28-0. That shows you the heart that HS school athletes but into every game they play. Just becasue every game isn't #1 vs #2 in the area doesn't mean **** ...

That's fine.

Counting only the games against BCS schools is bullsh*t anyway. You need to count the games against the [supposed] weaker schools as well.

The ACC had some bad OOC losses, in the sense that they were to non-BCS schools.

Wake lost to NIU
FSU lost to Louisville
UNC lost to Miami, OH

That's just a few.<hr /></blockquote>The reason for only counting games against BCS
opponents is simple.

Many leagues...led by the SEC, will not schedule
a great deal of quality competition.

Then boast of the fact that they are tougher because they all beat up on Middle Tenn.

The chance is all but a mute point of any other
team, from any conf other than the BCS leagues
ever competing for a title.

All leagues have sustained losses...

The MAC...Ohio being trounced by 1AA Northeastern
31-0. Northern Ill being handled by 1AA Western
Illinois.

E Mich hanging on the defeat SW Mo.

But day in and day out you measure good by how you do against quality opponents not dogs.

Little Snipe? Correct! If you support all the
other ACC teams in beating us...that's fine...You
don't support your other league members in games
against out of conference teams...That deserves
a snipe! A Miami loss to Florida State...elevates
the league in general. A loss, brings lower seedings to the league.

I have some idea where Roosevelt is. Anyway obviously losing his one big game of the year just goes to add credence to the point that his team isn't used to preparing for big games.

But hey, don't let the fact that you don't know what you're talking about keep you from posting.

8-3?

You sure about that one? I think it's 8-5, and the ACC will be taking one on the chin this weekend when Miami bombs FSU and again later when Floriduh does the same.<hr /></blockquote>LK... you are wrong again... Miami didn't bomb FSU and of course the gaytors suck this year and ain't no way will we let them come to our house and beat us this year. In fact, the gaytors have NOT won in Tallahassee in over 10 years. Yeah, the Noles should have won down in Miami this afternoon, but once again it came down to a field goal and instead of wide right, it was wide left. Way to stay in the games Noles!!! 28-27 sure ain't no 13 points... hehehe

that was not the subject of your article, you are talking about how dc metro area players are not ready for the big time games and that is why the acc is weak...

and btw...the game against WVU was a big game for us...and Allen dominated.

You say ALL this about Maryland, and your a fan of BOWLING GREEN? I don't care WHAT their record is, or who they play, Maryland would kill BG ANYDAY. How many seats does BG have? 10,000? C'Mon...you say all this crap about UMD, when you guys have your own porblems to worry about...
