I hate to admit it but Heather Dinich is so far doing a more or less respectable job of covering the ACC at ESPN. Today, the ACC's most bitter rivalries (according to her) and the hate-o-meter.....both of which are something that it looks like all their new "bloggers" were ordered to do for each conference:
ESPN - ACC
She's got the rivalry thing pretty close. NC State and UNC hate each other more than most people think, especially on the NC State side. FSU/Clemson is bull[censored] though.....from the ESPN perspective, it's like the biggest thing ever because of the Bowdens. Nobody else cares. Many ACC teams have their biggest rivalries outside the conference: Maryland/WVU, Clemson/South Carolina, GT/UGA. Swap out that BS FSU/Clemson one, though, and add UVA/Maryland. There's some real, legitimate hatred there.
