College Football’s Extreme Upon-Us-Ness Dictates Another Preview
You’re welcome. More terrific insight awaits. But first, a rambling introduction!
It doesn’t matter what the calendar says, in one day it will be fall. There will be two squads of eleven playing with the skin of a pig, or a synthetic proximity thereof. That means for all you gladiators of the gridiron, it’s time that all you’ve worked for come to fruition. The weightlifting and windsprints are now to turn into wins. The pay for your no-show job is safely invested in bling and rims. The herpes you got from that jersey-chaser is no longer breaking out. Things are going pretty well. But don’t get too comfortable. You play below your expectations and scrawny little guys on computers will be insulting your manhood anonymously. Plus those fat cats who paid for the stadium might get the guy who recruited you fired. But that doesn’t really affect you. It’s all about getting to the next level. Just stick around for 3 to 4 years, impress some pro scouts, and someday you might get paid over the table. Although it’s taxed, you’re less likely to get kicked out of anything for accepting it. Some of those well-paid collegiate athletes play their ball in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which I’ll preview after the jump.
The old Atlantic Coast Conference used to be Florida St. and a revolving door of challengers who weren’t quite up to the task. It’s not that Bowden and company had it easy. They routinely had the toughest non-conference schedule, playing the other two major teams from the state of Florida. The ACC was Florida States to lose, year in, year out. But then the Big East blew up, sending their best teams to the ACC. Virginia Tech, Miami, and Boston College came around, turning the ACC into a competitive conference, with divisions! It’s like a poor man’s SEC, which is like Bill Gates’ Big East.
Best Team: FSU. The team could very well be Miami, but I’m going with FSU. Luckily the two teams play in less than a week, so the rest of the ACC season will be rendered moot.
Worst Team: Stay tough Duke, basketball season is right around the corner. Then you can make up for getting the crap kicked out of you by annoying the hell out of everyone. But be aware, football seson will come again, and your annoyance will not be forgotten.
Best Player: Calvin Johnson is an absolute freak, and often doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. Also, I keep calling him Chad Johnson. Why must talented receivers have such similiar names? I’m looking at you, Mosses.
