It's this. These games tell you nothing.

Until they do and you'll reverse course crying that there's no ACC talent on the team. I've seen this movie before, "The Life and Tine of Micropenis."

As someone who attended all of them, the team looked good last year in these early season times until Carter decided to go Chuck and Duck.

I'll be happy if they get 3 or 4 ACC wins. I expect 0 or 1. I highly doubt there is enough improvement or sufficient new talent to turn last year's mostly lopsided defeats into a few victories:

Conversely, didn't they win some early games (specifically remembering last year's "exhibition") basically because Carter went Chuck and Duck when everyone else was just standing around?

It crushed us as the season went on, but I remember wondering whether we'd have actually lost to Bentley if not for Eli saying 'eff it' with about 5 mins left.

It was a will call thing last year. The Latina signed up and picked up the tickets at the game. I'm actually debating going now, was going to stay home and watch FSU game until the soccer game.

Tickets cost all of $5, so the free ticket come on doesn't amount to much. But given the disastrous state of the program, it's not a great idea to promise folks they'll get an email with tickets or info attached and then simply let the matter drop.

I'll show up anyway and be one of the 500(?) in attendance
