The Friday Five.....

So the ACC TV deal is supposedly done & it's ESPN. We were told by our usual source that we would be "pleasantly surprised" by the value of the deal and being that our source has yet to be wrong, we'll continue to believe his veracity (while leaving buckets of KFC around the house for him). The new deal should be announced early next week. Keep your fingers crossed that Raycom is still involved, after all, losing half of the Ron Cherry/Doc Walker duo to a new TV deal would render Saturday afternoon's a little less entertaining. "He's running like a caveman!!!!". On to other shiny objects that piqued our interest.

• An Emmy for former Jacket Tashard Choice!!!!! Surely he has a future in acting after a roll on this week's CSI:Miami. If the prime-time cameo wasn't enough for you, try this little clip. A classic Tech moment & a personal favorite from a player who gave us many great moments on the Flats. In fact, just last weekend we watched this with our four year-old nephew before his T-ball game. Kid went absolutely apeshit.......
• Two great posts from FigureFour & DrB at Shakin' the Southland this week. The first is on the ACC, its media deal, & what it all means to us as a conference. The best treatise we've seen on the subject. The second is on our latest football obsession, pattern reading, particularly in the Cover 2. Since our base defense will be a Stack Cover 2 & we'll be employing pattern reading this year, I highly suggest you take a gander. Great stuff here......
• The ACC Championship game will be broadcast by ESPN in 3D this year. Everybody get krunk!!!! Okay, it's nice, but we plan on watching the Jackets live in Charlotte that night. Spencer Hall does bring up an important point concerning CPJ's enormous package & all its three-dimensional splendor. Look out world......

So expect to see this around the 3 minute mark of the 3rd quarter of next year's ACC Championship game. Well played, Mr. Swindle, well played.....

• Speaking of Mr. Hall & EDSBS, please assist the Auburn Roughriders in picking some stadium music this year. We voted for Justin Beiber, have you? Speaking of votes, what's up with Ackbar for Ole Miss?
• Finally, for the second week in a row, we give you, courtesy of Friends of the Program, another "Undie Run". This week it's the University of Texas. Hook 'em Horns:

"the eyes of Texas are upon you, all the live long day......"
