ALL ACC
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 11:44 — tarheelyankThose wolfies think that Wilson is the best QB in the ACC and they may be right, wihout Wilson , Coach "who licked the red off my candy face" O'Brien probably wouldn't have won a game all year. Including those early season patsies. When is the wolfpack faithful gonna get rid of Fowler. There is not a wolfpack team that is competeitive in any of the major sports, men OR women.
If you fire Lee Fowler
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 13:52 — gvillegatryou must fire Sidney Lowe and the "great" TOB. Fowler is the one who hired both of these guys.
Keep Fowler
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 12:38 — SurferSurely you jest. The BB team is undefeated and will not finish last in the ACC. They will surprise some teams this year and win when they aren't supposed to. Could feasibly beat UNC this year.
Oh and football. Just wait until RW says he is coming back and Spring practice begins. They will, again, be touting an Atlantic Division championship, yada, yada, yada. So keep Lee, Sid and TOB, they are doing just fine.

Tue, 12/01/2009 - 14:31 — bluecat69bluecat69make sure u keep sid, that way we know who will be the bottom feeder in the acc this yr. go duke!!!!!!!!!!
Lee Fowler...
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 13:28 — Heels20...best athletic director Carolina has ever had.
NO Tar Holes
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 00:10 — unc1dmoNO Tar Holes.....on the 22 man Offense (except for a BFD....kicker) they like the ACC are a national fraud!!!!
girls league
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 14:38 — bluecat69bluecat69the acc in fb is about as close to being a girls league that u can find, put them in the sec and see what would happen-- that is a mans league. , go duke!!!!!!!!!!
Nice
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 12:43 — SurferFirst, there are 29 players listed on both the first and second team Offense.
Secondly, what cave have you been living in lately? UNC's offense has not been exactly stellar this year. So not having any, oh wait yes there is one, UNC player on the list is no suprise.
Yeah
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 00:08 — Heels20That was pretty messed up. I'd put Nesbitt at All-ACC RB before QB. Wilson has shown that he can run AND pass.
Yeah, you're right
Mon, 11/30/2009 - 18:42 — Heels20Bobby Floyd should definitely be on this list.
All-ACC voting
Mon, 11/30/2009 - 18:12 — scoccaClearly, the voting for all-ACC was done before Saturday's game.
one game does not make a
Mon, 11/30/2009 - 18:41 — chrismg1one game does not make a season.
that said, I am surprised that Russell Wilson didn't even make the second team. He did his job for most of the season, it just didn't show up in the wins column.
Seriously
Mon, 11/30/2009 - 23:38 — willncsuI would put Lewis as first team QB and Wilson as second team. GT doesn't even throw the ball!
QB's
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 01:22 — LetsGoPittwill: would you say Nesbitt is more of a wildcat? I know they have an unorthodox offense, but he is their QB.
As for the rest: Wilson, Lewis, Skinner, they all had good seasons, just not great seasons. I think if one of those three had been on a 7 or 8 win team, he might have had more consideration for first team.
Im just saying...
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 14:07 — willncsuIf I had to pick, I would take Lewis, Wilson and skinner as my QB before Nesbitt, not taking into account a teams records.
Yep, Lewis, Harris and
Tue, 12/01/2009 - 14:18 — SurferYep, Lewis, Harris and Skinner were the passing yards leaders in the conf. So I guess team records do account for something
