So where you want to start ACC Football fans?

The Middle School Uniforms that made the North Carolina State Wolfpack play like a bunch of pre-pubescent teens?

The linebacker playing QB and the return of the Maryland Flag Uniforms for the Maryland Terrapins.

The young Miami Hurricanes taking control back of the ACC Coastal Division?

All very worthy topics that will be addressed?

But let?s start with the what just appeared on Wikipedia in reference to Boston College Eagles Head Coach Frank Spaziani?

    Boston College

    In 1997, Spaziani left the Calgary Stampeders for a position as running backs coach for the Boston College Eagles.[5] Coached by Spaziani, Boston College's Mike Cloud was a consensus first-team All-America selection and a finalist for the 1998 Doak Walker Award. Cloud also set a Big East and school single-season rushing record with 1,726 yards in 1998.

    In 1999, he replaced Tim Rose as defensive coordinator, becoming BC's seventh defensive coordinator in the 1990s.[6]

    In 2001, the Boston College defense ranked 12th nationally in passing defense, 10th in pass efficiency defense, 19th in scoring defense and 25th in total defense. In 2002, the BC defense ranked 13th nationally in passing defense, 25th in pass efficiency defense, 23rd in scoring defense and 37th in total defense. In 2003, the BC defense ranked second in the Big East in total defense and second in rushing defense. In 2004, Boston College's rush defense ranked first in the Big East. The Eagles ranked second in the Big East and 31st in the country in total defense and first in the Big East and 12th in the country in scoring defense. Mathias Kiwanuka was the 2004 Big East Defensive Player of the Year.

    He has been named interim head coach for Boston College twice. In December 2006, after the departure of Tom O'Brien, he coached Boston College to a win versus Navy on December 30, 2006 in the Meineke Car Care Bowl;[2] however, Jeff Jagodzinski was hired as the permanent head coach. He was also named interim coach after Jagodzinski was fired on January 7, 2009 for interviewing for the open head coaching position with the New York Jets. On January 13, 2009, Spaziani was officially hired as the Eagles' permanent head coach.[7]

    Spaziani is a well-known user of unconventional motivational tactics, such as publicly throwing his players under the bus in media interviews and kicking players off the team for no reason. Among those who have been removed from the team under mysterious circumstances under Spaziani are ACC all-time leading rusher Montel Harris, who signed on with Temple for the 2012 season; Atlanta Falcons quarterback Dominique Davis, who excelled at East Carolina University after being kicked off the team as one of Spaziani's first official acts as BC coach; and Marshall starting defensive backs Dominick LeGrande and Okechukwu Okoroha.

    Spaziani is also well-known for having punched then-BC offensive coordinator Kevin Rogers in the face in the BC locker room during halftime of a loss at nationally-known football power Central Florida on September 10, 2011. Spaziani and DeFillippo subsequently paid Rogers (who would become the quarterbacks coach at Temple the following season) off to "retire for medical reasons" and the Dago Duo's allies in the media, led by famed Spaziani ballwasher Mark Blaudschun, were happily complicit in covering the incident up.

    As of October 26, 2012, BC fans expected Spaziani to begin showing up for home games wearing a dirty wife beater, possibly a tribute to his mentor O'Brien who would frequently coach games wearing an old pair of jorts.

You have to love Wikipedia!

But of course that is totally fabricated?

It says nothing about the, ?Hey Magnum,? shouts Spaziani constantly gets?

(cue the Magnum P.I. Theme Music)

So besides this pure gold in the wrap up to Spaziani?s career at BC, let us jump into The Good, The Bad, The Ugly from Week 10 in ACC Football.
