Football. Season. Here.
It is football season and we are cranking the volume on our coverage at OTB. The weekly schedule will go as follows:
- Sunday-Monday- OTB’s ACC Power Poll
Will be bringing you the weekly OTB’s ACC Power Poll every week ranking and recapping the week that was in ACC college football.
- ?- ACC Roundtable post
Whenever it comes around, I will be answering questions for the ACC Roundtable of awesome bloggers(it’s kinda funny that the spell check on Firefox doesn’t recognize that word).
- Wednesday- Mid-Week Hype Machine
This weekly blog will give a little taste of each ACC matchup that week. Will be including links to the blogosphere/MSM(mainstream media for those without a working knowledge of such abbreviations) coverage that pertain to the matchups to that point in the week.
- Thursday- Thursday ACC Pick’Em Post
Going to pick every ACC game, you the reader can take me on to see how much smarter you are if you like, I have a pretty fair ATS(you don’t need to know this one–bad habit) record too so I might add an extra section in there for that.
- Friday- Fiesta Linkfest per usual
The weekly linkfest continues.
- Saturday- ACC Football Saturday Night Live
Here’s my favorite idea of all, the basic concept is a post giving quick analysis and raving about the day that was in ACC football that is updated like a Twitter page without the 140 character limit. This is a blog community post as I invite you to talk smack, bemoan bad calls, and discuss your well-thought-out plan to fire your respective coach. I’ll post your comments into the post(or find some cool widget to carry out such a plan). It would just be a place to congregate for all ACC fans in the aftermath of gameday.

In addition to my masterplan at the site, I will be writing for the new Raycom blog network debuting this fall(think they are still looking for bloggers if you are interested). It launches in week 2 of the ACC football season to coincide with the first week of Raycom Sports’ ACC coverage which starts with Wake Forest/Stanford(see, I know how this thing works).
Thirdly, will be working for the Score Sports Radio out of the Upstate of SC this fall. Going to be working on production, lining up guests, and managing the Twitter feed(Could use some more followers!). So if you are nice to me, I might get you on the radio(and even if you aren’t–I’m a reasonable guy).
Football season is my favorite time of the year and I hope my ambitious plans for the fall keeps your readership and causes a strong urge to tell other people about this blog. Thanks for reading!

I look forward to the schedule B. Rink, and I’m happy to hear you’ll be at Raycom too! I’ll be there on the FSU page.

I picked all the ACC games last year and went 60% ATS, which I thought was pretty good.

@NoleCC,
Awesome, yeah, I’m looking forward to it. Not sure what I will be writing on it(but that’s pretty much how it works for this site too lol).
@CUOrange,
That is really good. I have been doing a pick’em game for pretty much every FBS vs. FBS game over on Sporting News(on a hosting blog). Last year, I went 53% with hundreds of picks and finished 3rd. The year before I won the competition with a little over 51%.

We’ll see how I do in the CUOrange Pick ‘Em contest. Obviously, I pay more attention to the ACC than I do PAC-10, Big 10 etc.
