So predictable

I said on ESPN 730 in Charlotte Wednesday that there are two things you can always count on in the ACC:

North Carolina will consistently underachieve, relative to its football talent, and Wake Forest will consistently over-achieve, relative to its football talent.

The Tar Heels proved my point, falling behind 24-7 to a Virginia Tech team of comparable ability. Now it's Wake's job to whip up on Maryland at home Saturday and become bowl eligible.

The Tar Heels are 2-5 in the ACC. The Deacons are 4-3 in the ACC. Does anyone think the Deacs have more talent this season than the Heels? Come on. Jim Grobe turns nothing into something and the Heels turn something into nothing.

Riveting analysis. With the unbalanced schedule, they have played 3 common opponents (Duke will be the 4th) and the difference is Wake beat State. They also have in common a game in Chapel Hill which was a thumping.

Did you even watch the VaTech game? Ron Cherry and crew outdid themselves. Blown call after blown call after blown call. (assuming the calls weren't missed on purpose of course)

AMEN. So true. Heels churn out a Top 10 recruiting class consistently with agents, bottles at da club, free parking, and cheating tutors to boot--AND GET 7 WINS/YEAR for this!!!

At least other Cheaters (Ohio State, USC, Miami) go to BCS bowls!!!
