ACC network(Deleted my initial remark, which was made without knowing the full story. Apologies to anyone who was offended.)
Former Florida State QB E.J. Manuel is surprisingly good. You have to be smart to play QB, but he breaks things down well and is entertaining. Also really good: former VaTech star Eddie Royal. They're all drooling all over Miami. Last edited by PonyFan on Tue Jul 23, 2024 1:57 pm, edited 2 times in total.

Re: ACC networkThey also have a former Clemson offensive lineman named Eric Mac Lain ... written as 3 names.

Re: ACC networkHere's what I've found about the ACC Network:
The Good: the football crew will actually teach you about football. Their post-game breakdowns are the best out there, honestly. Between Mac Clain, Manuel, and Richt, you are going to actually see how formation makes plays develop, the technique the DB used to force the WR out, who the QB is reading on a particular play, etc. They are very good, and worth tuning in to at the close of a Saturday of football. The Bad: The network will air the most random things when it isn't football season. Top 25 baseball matchup with Clemson v UNC? Nah, let's show a documentary on UVa women's rowing. Or again, a top 25 basketball game? Let's make sure we get to the end of Duke v Wake women's soccer in overtime before we go to that basketball game. The other bad thing is many cable providers have the channel listed at some number away from the other sports channels, which is annoying but varies from market to market.
Re: ACC networkI believe part of Mark Richt’s slow delivery is because he has Parkinson’s disease.
Re: ACC network
Dabo som time back was adamant that the ACCN needs a Paul Finebaum. Now Finebaum, who grew up in Memphis and went top Tennessee and spent years in Birmingham area radio, is a type that can work only for the SEC. But the ACCN needs daily morning show to draw viewers in large numbers. The huge problem is ESPN has been acting to hold down the ACCN just as it has acted to bad mouth the ACC, even basketball, over the past few years. If you are mo Ethan OK with the ACC coming apart at th4e seams and the SEC taking what it nwat, then you have no interest in helping the ACCN even though you own half of it (the ACC the other half). If the money could be found, I would suggest Tim Bando, who used to exile calling ACC games, football and basketball. When he was hired away fro ESPN, he had a radio show that got sucked up for TV broadcast by somebody. It was extremely fun. Brady always gravitates toward humor in sports talk, and his radio show was a blast. Make that the Money-Friday morning show for the ACCN, and we'd see network growth, that would translate to games broadcasting. The other ESPN caused problem is the woke choices. No chick on ESPN is worth hearing call any football game, and only that woman who was a BE announcer is worth anything among the chicks sent to broadcast men's games. There is awful lack of broadcasting talent at ESPN, and the SEC gets all the top picks.
Re: ACC networkIs the ACC network the only one needed to watch games or do I also need to get the ACCX.
Re: ACC network
Cool.
Re: ACC network
For football, you'll get most games on ABC, ESPN, ACCN, or the CW. For basketball mostly ESPN, ESPN2, or ACCN For baseball, soccer, everything else: ACCN, ACCX
Re: ACC network
Thank you!
Re: ACC networkI think Sage Steele is a free agent now. I've seen her on Fox News every now and then, so she may now be a Fox product. She was one of ESPN's anchors. But yes, you need a morning show that will get eyeballs.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna
Re: ACC network
Are you noting her as a possibility for a morning show for the ACCN? As she has no experience doing that and none as a well regarded broadcaster of games, she is not likely to draw any kind of audience to a morning talk show on the ACCN. What we need is somebody who is well known enough in sports broadcasting and entertaining sports radio to TV talk shows to draw an audience from the start. And it does not have tube somebody who played in the ACC or attended any ACC school or lives in an ACC state. Brando is none of those, and I think he would nail such a gig better than anyone. I keep up with all kinds of ACC sports, but watching a morning talk show with less than top notch people is something I have to force myself to do. What the ACCN has had is a bunch of boring
Re: ACC networkSage Steele is MAGA. Make the ACCN Great Again.
