The 2 days of ACC Football hype has begun at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, North Carolina and I'm happy to report it's not the media circus of the SEC Media Days in Birmingham. Much more toned down here. Nobody cares which coaches voted who as first team All-ACC Quarterback, no Lane Kiffin throw downs here.
Today was the players turn to talk. Here's a brief rundown of what was said.
Boston College and Virginia feel they have something to prove because the love just isn't there from the pre-season publications.
Matt Parsons was at Media Day for the Charlottesville Newsplex/WCAV-TV/CBS19 for the Virginia side of optimism...
N.C State for the first time in a few years has a united locker room. Every player on that team has bought into the Tom O'Brien way.
DE Willie Young gets to defend the ACC's honor here in this extended sit-down...

Virginia Tech can't wait to mix it up with Alabama at the Georgia Dome in a month.
Finally in the 5 years I have come to this event, this is the first time the Duke players were not going through the motions with their rehearsed answers as to how this year they were going to win more games (and keeping a straight face) This year both Thad Lewis and Vince Oghobaase were serious that things have changed. That Duke has a chance this time... really they do.
I can tell you this I will be openly cheering for the Blue Devils this year to win at least 6 games and go to a bowl. It will be a much deserved reward for Duke and that senior class that's been through hell and back.
Speaking of those Blue Devils, here's Thad Lewis being extremely positive about the kinds of recruits the university is bringing in...plus a whole lot more...
