Friday Roundup: The “ACC Primer” Edition

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Friday Roundup to bring you a very special ACC Primer Roundup to help you, the college football fan, get the skinny on what’s up in that big college football world out there.

The ACC Roundup:

• Boston College: 4 Year Backup QB Crane finally gets to play actual, meaningful football (maybe). Insofar as football can actually have meaning.
• Clemson: Doesn’t it seem like people have been saying “this is the year” for Clemson since the Reagan administration?
• Florida State: All kidding aside, Bobby Bowden really is old.
• Maryland: This is probably the first thing I’ve read about Maryland in 10 months.
• NC State: Apparently only fluff pieces are being written about the pack.
• Wake Forest: All that rhetoric must smell awful.
• Duke: Duke Football, the state of North Carolina. State of North Carolina, Duke Football.
• Georgia Tech: So, uh, wait. Y’all aren’t gonna run the triple-option?
• Miami: That’s a good question.
• UNC: Butch, like the rest of the country, likes what he’s seeing from his team.
• Virginia: Looking to play more “Matt Schaub-like” this year. No. I don’t know what that means.
• Virginia Tech: First, really? Second, I’ll believe it when I see it.

And finally, as a tribute to the ACC, our beer of the week is the Loose Cannon Hop 3 Ale by Clipper City Brewing Co. We’ve not had it yet, but we’re intrigued, and if someone knows where I can get a 6-er of it in Chicago, I’d appreciate directions in the comments. Hops cubed? Count me in! Besides, Clipper City is in Baltimore, and what’s more ACC than the mid-Atlantic?
