ECU is dominating App too. In the second half, UGA was basically a video game in easy mode too.

Sure, but UGA could smash basically anyone in college football for 2 quarters on a given Sat.  In what was largely a home opener crowd wise.   And I think that’s basically the narrative setter right now. 

Maybe Miami will be significantly better.  I still think the best roster and coached team in the ACC is in Clemson though as of right now.  So I just can’t put a gap yet between Clemson and any ACC school 

BUT, as Clemson has proven on both sides of the coin….where your talent is and isn’t matters.  Miami might have it where it matters most and that’s enough

ECU has never been a great program, but they had some decent teams under Coach Ruff. They've been poo ever since they fired him.

Besides the Jeff Blake peach bowl season the best times have been with David Garrard and Steve Logan.  That was a long ass time ago.

They’re just not that good man lol.  I don’t think beating old dominion is getting in anyone’s head.

I don't know. I know they're bad, but they've equaled their win record from last season already. And this is ECU we're talking about. They let anything go to their heads.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
