The 4th #1 seed was pretty much down to UNC, Tennessee, and Arizona. Tennessee is down 22 with 10 minutes to go.

It really doesn't matter how this plays out, Carolina and Arizona are gonna be in the same bracket. One the #1 and the other the #2. The selection committee LOVES storylines. They tried to setup matchups with KU for Roy's entire tenure.

It's true. College basketball popularity has fallen off so hard from when I was growing up in the '80s and '90s. College basketball RAN poo in NC back then. We would literally watch the ACC tournament IN CLASS. Carolina vs. duke days might as well have been a national holiday. 

There used to be a burger place near where I live that would bring a TV in, place it bear the grill so the cooks could watch, and play the tournament every year. Once the tournament was over, the TV would disappear for another year. Too bad that place closed down before the pandemic, they had good burgers.

Another thing that has hurt interest in the ACC tournament was the ACC taking it out of NC. NYC and Washington DC don't have a thing to do with the conference, yet both have hosted the tournament because the conference wanted whatever checks they were offered.

1000%

The ACC tourney in Greensboro was an institution and made all the sense in the world with 4 ACC teams in NC as well as Clemson, UVA, and VT in easy driving distance. With Maryland no longer in the ACC having the tourney in DC makes no sense at all. Syracuse in an upstate NY team and NYC is a pro sports city. I get the appeal of having it in the Big Apple but in terms of people showing up it's not a great spot. Greensboro was the perfect spot.

If the ACC had wanted the tournament in a bigger city, Charlotte was right down the road so to speak. The downside to Charlotte is that the current arena holds a couple thousand less people than Greensboro.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      ....Yea, it literally wiped the smile right off Reichs face. We are kind of in the same position as Shitsburgh, looking for a QB.  They keep looking and trying to improve at qb but we just say: 'nah, we good'. The Dipper agenda keeps BY alive. To bad we didn't give Darnold or Mayfield that kind of time, They at least had the tools, skills and attributes of a QB. Its tough to win in the NFL, at least give yourself a chance.

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      Rashid Shaheed Born: Aug 31, 1998 (27 years) Height and weight: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 180 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks (#22 / Wide receiver/kick returner) Rashid Shaheed signed a one-year, $5.2 million extension with the Saints in July 2024, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season with a $1M signing bonus and $4.2M base salary in 2025, before being traded to the Seahawks at the 2025 deadline, making him an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2026.   His initial deal was a 2-year, $6.185M contract with $1M guaranteed through 2025.    Rashid Shaheed's scouting report highlights him as an electrifying, big-play deep threat receiver known for elite efficiency on deep routes, explosive plays, and reliable hands (zero drops over multiple seasons), though he's undersized (around 180 lbs) and needs to improve blocking and route running consistency to shed his "situational/boom-or-bust" label and become a full-time WR1/WR2.     Strengths: Elite Deep Threat: Ranks among the league's best in air yards per target and yards per reception, consistently producing 30+ yard catches and touchdowns. Playmaker: "A playmaker" who excels at making plays downfield and adding a vertical dimension to offenses. Reliable Hands: Showcased impressive ball skills with zero drops over recent seasons, even making contested catches. Efficiency: Finishes high in metrics like yards per route run, demonstrating effective production when targeted. Undrafted Gem: A significant value find for the Saints, proving overlooked prospects can excel.      Areas for Improvement: Size/Blocking: At around 180 lbs, he's smaller and less effective as a blocker, which limited his snaps in New Orleans compared to bigger receivers. Route Running: Needs to develop cleaner routes and better consistency in intermediate areas to earn more targets beyond deep shots. Consistency/Role: Often a "boom-or-bust" or situational player due to volume fluctuations, needing more consistent targets to reach WR1 status.      Role/Projection: Schematic Weapon: Stretches defenses, creating space for other players and opening up the run game, making offenses more efficient. Fantasy Profile: A high-upside FLEX or WR4, capable of winning weeks with big plays but dependent on volume and quarterback play. Future Outlook: His value hinges on earning a larger, more consistent role, potentially becoming a true WR2 with more opportunity and development in blocking/route running.
