It’s Not Working, Mr. Swofford

Posted Dec 7, 2008
Sitting here watching the embarrassment that is the ACC championship football game, I can’t help but wonder what on earth John Swofford is thinking right now? This championship game is his. It’s his dream, his baby, his pride and joy, and he is its goombah. And it’s not working. In fact, it’s a total and complete failure. And it’s all on Swofford. He was the one who pushed for a 12th team so the ACC could stage a championship football game. (Buster Sports)
