Should also say something about how Rivals' ratings are skewed to favor the deep southern teams at the expense of northern teams.

That's what I was wondering. Is this more a commentary on the star rating system or how the All-ACC team is selected?

Partially a function of player Dev at fsu during the late stages of bowdens tenure, but also I really think Florida rankings are inflated. I think your 3 star kid from VA is just as talented as some of those 4-5 star kids from FL.

When I met Becton he was driving a tricked out Hummer. Makes a little more sense.
Did you hear Hoo got arrested? Thomas Jefferson would be proud!

Massive amounts of entitlement too...guys start believing how good they are before they do anything...talent can only take you so far, hard work closes the gap and opens it on the other side

@AndyBitterVT: Preliminary hearing for suspended #Hokies DE Dadi Nicolas on felony larceny charge set for Aug. 30, his attorney Jimmy Turk said.
@AndyBitterVT: Nicolas was arrested in late June for alleged involvement in stolen bike on campus, arraigned earlier in July.
@AndyBitterVT: Turk said he'd like to have something resolved and the hearing moved up if possible. Nicolas remains suspended indefinitely from team.

Virginia Tech: Schedule Breakdown - CBSSports.com

Virginia Tech is the favorite to win the ACC Coastal, but the schedule-makers did it no favors. The Hokies open with Georgia Tech, play North Carolina in a trap game, and have a stretch of Clemson, Miami, Florida State that could determine their season.
