		<description><![CDATA[The points deduction for Jeff Gordon is pretty ridiculous, as is the &#039;probation&#039;. There&#039;s one race left in the season. If NASCAR dealt with issues fairly - and they virtually never have in their history - the superstar would get the same treatment as the non-superstar. Jeff Gordon&#039;s built up a lot of goodwill, so NASCAR just let him get by with it essentially. The only negative for him was the $100K fine, but even that means little when he&#039;s making around $25 million annually.

The real problem would have been if they had slid down into Brad Keselowski, who barely slipped underneath the cars during Gordon&#039;s revenge. That was how close Keselowski came to losing his shot at the championship, all because of Gordon&#039;s anger. Also, Joey Logano is acknowledged as trying to save his ride during these races, and Gordon&#039;s action just damaged his hopes in that. That&#039;s an impact on Logano&#039;s career, his livelihood, because Gordon was angry at Bowyer.

Jeff Gordon &#039;chucked a rock in the lake&#039; and the ripples have effects. He should know better.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trevor, wow.  You know when Danny Coale was in Bburg he laid some beautiful blocks on the opposing defenders.  VT needs another guy like him who plays with heart and doesn&#039;t give up on the play even if he doesn&#039;t get the ball thrown his way.  Blocking has killed the offense this year.  Oh how I miss Danny Coale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That is what frustrated me last year.  I remember complaining repeatedly on this very blog, long before I found my calling in Twitter, that Logan kept targeting Davis who reward him with more drops than a cough syrup in a bottle.

Dryell Roberts just makes me scratch my head.  He is a speedy receiver who made a splash in the ECU game with Glennon, and he snared a pass while leaving the ECU secondary in the dust, but since he broke his arm, I think he has gotten apprehensive about contact.  In the UNC game, he caught that ball while getting leveled, and somehow held onto the football.  I just think Roberts hasn&#039;t been the same for some reason.

Knowles and Fuller have been the brightest spots in the receiver corps, and how does Beamer reward them?  Elevating them to co-#1 spots in the Miami game!  Madness.

Meanwhile, here&#039;s a link to a Tony Franklin rumor.  He has been linked as a OC to an ACC school.  I have no idea were.  http://247sports.com/Board/59457/Tony-Franklin-13769453/1]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trevor,

That video of Davis both appalls me and gives me a slight chuckle of &quot;yeah, I can see that.&quot; Truth be told, I almost got into a fight with another Tech fan on Thursday over Davis. He was about six rows behind me and kept yelling &quot;Throw it to 7&quot; all game. By the end of the second quarter I finally shot back &quot;They don&#039;t throw it to 7 because 7 can&#039;t catch!&quot;. That then stirred a debate between he and I about Davis and Roberts (&quot;I said 7, not 11!&quot;) to which he was ready to fight over. I just shrugged him off and laughed every time he said &quot;Throw it to 7!&quot; after, while commenting about Fuller&#039;s hands every time he caught the ball and how he probably has the best hands on the team. After one of Davis&#039; drops in the second half, he tried to blame it on Logan Thomas and everyone around us just laughed since it was clear that Davis dropped the ball. When Dyrell Roberts caught a pass in the 4th (?) quarter, I looked back at the guy and he just shrunk back into his seat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OG, liked McAdoo a lot when he filled in for Zeller, but he is going to be dominat.  I think UNC need to make it a point to attack teams in the low post where they have plenty if active rebounders. Paige really struck me as a solid guard, not sloppy, nor fancy, just a solid guard who gets things done. I agree on Marhall. If he had returned to polish his game a bit, then Marshall and Paige would have form a dynamic backcourt duo. Strickland will become a force. I just hope he stays healthy.  It also appear to me that UNC&#039;s bench is solid.

It&#039;s going to be an interesting race in January.  Nc state is making huge stride  to return to prominence. The battle of the triangle has returned to the 1980s root. Good times are here.]]></description>
