ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We are back! With the college football season fast approaching, Will is back with an extended preview of the ACC! We start with a discussion of Virginia's season with Virginia on SI's award winning writer and friend of the show Xander Tilock, as the Cavaliers look to prove last year's runner up season was far from a fluke. We then discuss the on and off the field in Chapel Hill with Daily Tar Heel editors Beckett Brantley and Josh Markotich, and we get a feel for the fan mentality around UNC. We end the show with an interview with fellow V89er, Tomahawk Talk cohost, and FSView sports editor Cole Kruger, who joins to give his expertise on the Seminoles and Miami Hurricanes and what to expect from both of Florida's ACC teams this season. Along the way, Will and the guests discuss the state of the conference amid the uncertainty within the sport, whether Dabo Swinney is done at Clemson, expectations for James Franklin in Blacksburg, sleeper teams, and more!
