CAKEWALK!

ACC rolled the Not so Big Ten...again. Even in the games the ACC lost, the Big Ten got embarrassed.

Chuck Amato No!

So, all the boo birds and typical North Carolina fickle fans got their way last night. Chuck Amato is fired. I have mixed feelings about the whole sitch. On one hand we potentially have an amazing team next season. We were young this season and no one really stepped up as a playmaker. I have a sneaking feeling that whoever NC State gets is going to go 7-4 next year and everyone will start to suck the stuff in their underpants zone. Saying things like, "See, Amato couldn't do it." I am 70% certain he could've done it. Then, the aforementioned fictional coach will go 6-5 and 5-6 and the whole damn thing will start over again.
Then again, this season was an all out embarrassment. The final loss to ECU was painful to sit through. We finished below UNC (they get the tie-break) and everyone knows that team was horrible. I actually got in a argument with some Anti-Amato douche at the end of the ECU game. My main argument is, "Who you gonna get?"

Monday Nitro Football

I wonder if ESPN will take a queue from NBC and do what people have been telling them to do and don't set the MNF schedule in stone at the end of the last season. Tonight is an awesome example of two reams not living up to anyone's expectations. 3rd and 4th in the NFC South does not a MNF game make. I love my Buccaneers, but the whole of the US of A does not have such a die hard love for the sole NFC Super Bowl Champions of the millennium. Have you seen what closes out the MNF season? Jets v. Miami! Wow, that will keep me from watching "Scrooged" or "KISS Saves Christmas"...NOT!

3000 in his post today brought up drafting as a head coach. As much as Gruden hates to develop young players (see the 2002 Oakland Raiders), he has put together some great draft classes in the past three years. We'll be 9-7 next year, and in the NFC South, that could win the division. Drew Brees is going to lose his arm. You read it here 1st, people.
