Well, there goes the neighborhood. As a long fan of the ACC, I had a hard enough time when Pitt, Notre Dame, et al. joined the conference. Now the Atlantic Coast Conference has members on the Pacific Coast. I figure it’s pretty much all over at this point.

favorites things. I present to you … The oddest names on ACC football squads,
from worse, to worser, to worst, to worstest
