Thoughts:

 

(1) UVA has 2 home games after October 4th.  I'm sure that's a method to ease the blow on ticket sales.  Good thinking, ACC.

(2) VT's isn't much better.  3 home games after the month of September. 

(3) VT gets 2 nice Thursday night games.

(4) UVA gets to welcome Louisville to the ACC.  What fun!

(5) I hate the double bye, but this is a more equitable distribution.

(6) I dig the Black Friday game.  Maybe it means that London will be fired in November after all!

If my math is correct, and it quite frequently is not, the Commonwealth Cup game is the night of the state quarterfinal games. Not particularly happy about that.

By that time, most games are on Saturday, anyway, particularly with Thanksgiving Week. In the past, I've found that VT/UVA interferes more with HS football than anything.

He'd probably be fired in November if the game was on the last Saturday of the month...
