    06/03/2024 Duração: 21min

    If ACC men's basketball doesn't have you reaching for those BC or Goodies Powders (NASCAR reference) then give it a few more minutes. There seems to be a lot of confusion, even among conference teams as to their roles this season. And guess what? The season is just about kaput. So, now, where do all these bruised noodles end up in the ACC Tournament. And gosh, do you think any of them will clear the brain fog long enough to make a respectable run in the NCAA's? That's of course, if they get an invitation. The Latest Men's Bracket With Jason Carmello Will Ojanen puts a little salve on the cranium, rubs it in and still has some big question marks hanging over his head in this episode of ACC Nation. It's been a season unlike almost any other and even with all the opportunities that have been afforded to ease the pain it seems as if everyone wants to look the gift horse in the mouth.

  • What The Hell ACC? | Bumbling Misery Of ’24 Basketball

    23/01/2024 Duração: 41min

    Pick your favorite adjective in describing the current state of ACC men's basketball and unless you're a Carolina or Duke fan it won't be ideally used in mixed company. Seriously, what in the hell is this nonsense that resembles the horrors of a six-year old who, awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, needs new sheets? Overboard? We think not. At this rate the conference will be lucky to have three teams in the NCAA Tournament. When was the last time that occurred? Listen To ACC Nation Radio For The Latest From All Sports Discussion Is it a lack of talent? Maybe a number of coaches need to experience geographic readjustment? Here we are looking at February, which we all know comes and goes in a heart beat during the season, and which teams (other than the aforementioned) stand out? And don't be a homer with your answer because it's disingenuous. ACC ACC women's basketball doesn't get a pass here either as January has turned into a mess as well.

  • ACC Sports ’24 | Wild, Surprising, Fun

    11/01/2024 Duração: 45min

    Welcome to ACC sports 2024 and so far the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 have been wild, surprising and fun. What's next? Well, after we recorded this episode the list was added to again and then again and once more. Nick Saban's gone. Bill Belichick's gone. In case anyone had missed it, so is Pete Carroll. And, oh, by the way the top candidates for Saban's job are peeling away left and right plus some Tide fans don't want Dabo Swinney. I'm sure the feeling is mutual among Clemson fans. The vacancy at Alabama will have a ripple effect upon the SEC and college football. Lord help the oversized ego that tries to walk in and do the same that Saban has done over the years. The immediate thought from our corner, hoist a glass and celebrate the monster diminishing in power. We won't diminish any aspect of the coaching supremacy these guys have demonstrated over the years. Respect. But, anything that elevates ACC sports, well we're all for it. Will and Jim look at the final AP Top 25 football poll and share

    06/12/2023 Duração: 39min

    Is there such a thing as dependable bracketology? Well, it depends upon where you may be looking.

The guys talk about a little of everything and anything (as usual when they get together) starting with some professional wrestling and getting into depth about what to expect on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

  • College Football ’23 | Sneaky Good ACC Season

    16/11/2023 Duração: 47min

    Going into the 2023 college football season there were more than a few questions regarding ACC teams. It turns out it was a sneaky good season in many ways for more than a few teams. We all wondered if Florida State would hold up their end of the positive projections and now we have an answer. Sure, Louisville seemed like they might be able to turn things around but there was plenty of doubt as to how far Jeff Brohm could take this team. At this point, two games away from the end of the regular season, it appears that both Florida State and Louisville will be in Charlotte for the ACC Football Championship game. And, by the way, the CFP rankings have both the Noles and Cards as top 10 teams in their Top 25 rankings.

The league is still working to turn some of you around as well (looking at you, 'it's a basketball conference' only fans). Let's get real for a second.
