We break even on Byes

[Scorpionwingz]

And it only took a Cat 5 hurricane to do it.

We now have a bye before Pitt and Miami; Clemson and Wake have a bye before us.

Looking forward to this season even more now and definitely can't wait till next year when the "Paul Johnson rule" (as I have dubbed it) kicks in and no conference team can have more than one ACC opponent with a bye week before.

With the people we have returning, the freshmen we have now, and this rule change; next year is shaping up nicely.

Eh. I'd like this more if we had buried UT. I'd rather have the extra W myself.

Yes, I feel 2017-2018 will be similar if not better than 2008-2009

So what will be our excuse now for losses?

Either recruiting or Roof.

Roof-cruiting?

That it ain't no lie baby bye, bye, bye.

That it took - literally - an act of God for us to have the same number of pre-ACC game byes as everyone else in the conference.

Yet this bye offers no value. A bye prior to playing Pitt does nothing.

It's like having a bye before playing Akron!

Yes, it does. Extra rest, prep time and heal time (Lynch).

And secondly, we now have a bye before Miami and they don't. Previously we both had the bye.

Thank you for providing foundation to the OP. Now it has substance. It only took 11 hours to establish.

We would have told you before, but you wouldn't have believed us. You had to learn it for yourself.

Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home.
