God loves an optimist.

So do bookies.

 

I really love this story. Nice going Tennessee.

Tennessee gives scholarship to boy bullied for his homemade T-shirt - CNN

 

This is precisely why I didnt bet Wazzu Houston.
This could have ended up 70-63.
Wazzu with new qb.
Holgorsen new.
Love both coaches but I stayed the hell away from this.

 

Wait
Why did UNC-Wake play each other in a NON conference game tonight?

 

Holgorsen is still awful.

 

Under regular ACC scheduling, teams have only one permanent interdivisional opponent. For UNC, that's N.C. State. That means UNC and Wake would play only once every six years.

For a rivalry with 107 games on its resume, they wanted to meet more often than once every six years. But it had to be done outside of traditional ACC scheduling (otherwise, they would be playing nine ACC games, everyone else eight), so they simply scheduled a home-and-home, as you typically would with a non-conference foe.

 

Because they're in different divisions in the ACC. John Swofford's vision didn't have these two playing each other for years.

The ACC also has not paired N.C. State and Duke in a game for years. Two schools 25 miles apart who have been in the same conference for decades and they haven't faced each other on a football field for years.

The conference schedules are set by the league. It's up the ADs to find non-conference opponents. Why not play a nearby rival to save a bundle of travel money since your league is too stupid to not have them play one another for years?

I'd ask Swofford to do better. But his ears have too many $100 bills jammed in them to care about rectifying this problem. And, if you're scheduling a longtime conference rival as a non-conference game because the conference won't, there a problem.
