Can someone explain how the baseball tournament works? Nd won yesterday which got them into the semifinals (I think?) but then played and beat uva today, as part of our pool. Since we’ve never gotten this far, the format just doesn’t make sense to me
From the league: Each team in the four pools will play one game against each of the other two opponents in its pool Tuesday through Friday (May 24-27). The four teams with the best records within their respective pools will advance to Saturday’s semifinals, with the winners playing on Sunday in the ACC Championship Game. If the teams are tied at the completion of pool play, the team with the highest seed in the respective pool will advance. So, in your case, the worst you could have finished is a tie at 1-1, sending you to the semis regardless.
It’s definitely a weird format. We beat Wake in Game 1 which eliminated them before Miami even played a game. But the idea is to avoid 6-7 quick games and destroying the arms/rotations of teams before regionals. So it accomplished that.
Once ND beat FSU they should have pitched a walkon today to get run ruled and then just rested up until the semifinal game.
Let’s talk returning production since it’s the off-season. The Atlantic is gonna be absolutely loaded in terms of talent coming back- 4 teams in the top 15 and none of them are Clemson. Plus Wake returns the bulk of their offense. #goacc #Florida State Seminoles #Clemson Tigers #Virginia Cavaliers #Virginia Tech Hokies #North Carolina Tarheels #North Carolina State Wolfpack bingbing @thatonewakefan https://www.espn.com/college-footba...otball-teams-returning-production-2022-season
The one Hale ranking that we should discuss is the WRs. He had us above miami, which is v funny to me, since our guys are of intramural quality
no once you win it all your appetite starts to wane a bit not surprised a state fan wouldn't understand that
It's bad. We had a couple guys playing both ways in the spring game. Brought in 2 grad transfers, one of whom quit football and the other of whom decided to return to his former school. We have a top 10 QB and top 10 WR corp nationally, but a cardboard cutout O-Line.
I saw where the Georgetown guy decided to go back, that's rough. nobody is going to believe you can run (I'm not sure you can anyway) and just drop 7-8 into coverage constantly and force Armstrong to find the open man before the line collapses. you have a better football mind at HC now to fix that potential issue but still.
Just looked up his Miami argument. I didn’t realize they were that bad at running last year. Especially given lashlee. Was it the OLine? Can’t be knighton?
Feel like that has to be a system issue that will likely reverse with the new staff. I assume thr rbs will probably put up good stats and TVD's will go down
It was 80% Lash has 3 running plays in his whole playbook and 20% line wasn’t good enough on the interior Knight had over 100 scrimmage yards a game and 11 TDs in 8 games unless Hale is docking cats for getting suspended for the first 4 games for team violations I don’t get those rankings
was listening to one of the Cover3 podcasts and Danny Kanell said he went to Barnes & Noble to get all of the preseason magazines. i used to do that shit every year around this time.
I checked the magazine aisle the other day and saw them displayed, gave picking one up a half second's thought before moving on used to be my go to poo reading
I'd drop like $30-$40 to get all of them, usually saved them for the beach, especially Phil Steele. Fuente made watching VT such a chore I'm legitimately unsure I could name more than an eighth of the current scholarship roster. by the time I learned a name they were in the portal either for being too good or too shit or because they just hated Fuente. Pry is at least checking off the boxes during the offseason, which is far more than one could ever say about Fuente.
i remember finding a Blue Ribbon yearbook one time and that was awesome. definitely got phil steele every year.
