It’s National Crab Rangoon Day! So, it’s time to get together with your girlfriends to celebrate this peculiar holiday that is strategically placed on the eve of “Single Awareness Day.”[/SIZE][/I] [SIZE=3][I]For those of you who have deprived yourselves of this Chinese-American treat, here’s what you need to know: Crab Rangoon are deep-fried, cream cheese and crab-stuffed dumplings. Understandable if that doesn’t sound all that appealing to you, but try one! And you won’t be stopping there—trust me. [/I][/SIZE] [I][SIZE=3]Rang Day actually originated in Boston by Kara Sweeney, Sarah White, and Kristin Ostrem who decided there should be a day to cherish the deep-friend dumplings. The three Boston friends decided that people who were not in a relationship should still have something to look forward to around Valentine’s Day. As such, they deemed February 13th as the day to celebrate “the rang” and enjoy time with friends to make Valentine’s Day fun even if you are single.[/SIZE][/I] [B][SIZE=7][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]SU News[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][URL='https://insidetheloudhouse.com/2019/02/12/syracuse-reels-in-de-transfer-jeffery-gunter/']Syracuse Football: Tale of the tape on DE transfer Jeffery Gunter[/URL] (itlh.com; Carey)[/B] [I]The Syracuse football squad has delved into the transfer portal and came away with a pretty talented surprise on the defensive line.[/I] [I]The Syracuse University football program got more good news on Monday when Jeffery Gunter announced his intention to transfer to the Orange.[/I] [I]Gunter, a defensive end from Durham, North Carolina stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 255-pounds. He has the size already to play defensive end at the ACC level. What Syracuse fans should be more excited for, is the numbers and accolades that Gunter has put up.[/I] [I]Last season as a sophomore at Coastal Carolina, Gunter was named first-team All-Sun Belt. He racked up 49 tackles, including 14 for a loss and five sacks. Gunter also blocked a kick and forced one fumble on the season. In 2017, as a freshman, Gunter played in all 12 games and recorded 26 tackles, 3.5 of which, came for a loss.[/I] [I]Gunter was rated a two-star prospect by 247sports.com, coming out of high school. But that shows how imperfect of a system recruiting rankings are. After announcing his intention to transfer, Gunter received an offer from Tulane. He also received heavy interest from North Carolina, North Carolina State, Minnesota, and Oregon. ...[/I] [B][URL='https://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/sports/college/sun-belt/coastal-carolina-university/article226182765.html']Coastal Carolina is losing two of its best football players to ACC programs[/URL] (myrtlebeachonline.com; Blondin)[/B] [I]Coastal Carolina is losing two key football players to Atlantic Coast Conference schools, according to reports and social media posts.[/I] [I]Sophomore defensive end Jeffrey Gunter is transferring to Syracuse, according to The Daily Orange and Cusenation.com, while sophomore offensive lineman Brock Hoffman is transferring to Virginia Tech, according to Twitter posts on his account and the Virginia Tech Football account.[/I] [I]They are two of the four Coastal players who entered the NCAA Transfer Portal this offseason, and will be big losses.[/I] [I]Gunter was a First Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection after this past season – the only Chanticleer named to either the conference’s first or second teams – and Hoffman has started all 24 Coastal games since he enrolled at the school.

Folks would wake up the morning after the Super Bowl showing the first symptoms of Football Withdrawal Syndrome, knowing that the next games would not be played until August. The Alliance of American Football has shortened that dreaded wait from six months to six days. The professional league debuted Saturday night, less than one week after the Super Bowl. The AAF comprises eight teams and will play a 10-week regular-season schedule. The AAF aims to become a developmental system for the National Football League. Most of its players are alums of major college programs, including at least one player from 13 of the 14 Atlantic Coast Conference schools. Defensive end Tavaris Barnes is the only former Clemson player listed on an AAF roster. Barnes played on Clemson's defensive front from 2011 to 2014, behind Vic Beasley and Corey Crawford. Barnes signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints in 2015. He appeared in 13 games that season, but he has not played in another NFL game. He signed with Seattle, Washington and Tampa Bay in subsequent seasons but cycled from the practice squad to injured reserve. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-accs-football-rosters-2019"]Ranking the ACC's Football Rosters for 2019[/URL] (athlonsports.com; Kinne)[/B] [I]Rk Team '19 '18 '17 '16 '15 Avg W/L Conf. 1 FSU 18 11 6 2 3 8.0 45-20 25-15 2 Clemson 10 6 16 10 9 10.2 65-7 36-4 3 UM 28 8 13 21 26 19.2 40-25 24-16 4 UNC 32 23 27 35 28 29.0 30-33 19-21 4 VT 26 24 25 41 29 29.0 39-27 22-18 6 Moo 29 26 52 49 31 37.4 40-25 20-20 7 UL 73 29 32 37 32 40.6 36-28 21-19 8 Pitt 55 46 34 30 47 42.4 34-31 24-16 9 Duke 47 61 47 33 51 47.8 36-28 16-24 10 GT 52 51 46 59 44 50.4 35-28 20-20 11 UVa 39 64 56 60 50 53.8 25-37 14-26 12 Syr 53 50 55 66 58 56.4 25-36 13-27 13 WF 54 60 65 58 53 58.0 28-35 12-28 14 BC 60 67 66 75 62 66.0 31-32 14-26[/I] [B][URL="https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2019/02/college-football-hall-of-fame-all-time.html"]ACC Football Rx: College Football Hall of Fame, all-time top 32[/URL] (RX; HM)[/B] [I]All-Time most players in the College Football Hall of Fame: Name of Institution #Players inducted Notre Dame 47 USC 44 Michigan 32 Tennessee 28 Ohio State 25 Yale 25 Army 24 Princeton 24 Alabama 20 Navy 20 Oklahoma 20 Penn State 19 Harvard 18 Minnesota 18 Nebraska 18 Penn 18 Pittsburgh 18 Stanford 18 Syracuse 17 Texas 17 California 16 ...[/I] [B][URL="https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2019/02/nfl-scouting-combine-2019.html"]ACC Football Rx: NFL Scouting Combine 2019[/URL] (RX; HM)[/B] [I]Here's the official list of ACC players invited to the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine: Player POS ACC Team Hamp Cheevers CB Boston College Lukas Denis DB Boston College Will Harris DB Boston College Zach Allen DL Boston College Christopher Lindstrom OL Boston College Wyatt Ray DL Boston College Tommy Sweeney TE Boston College Mark Fields DB Clemson Trayvon Mullen DB Clemson Austin Bryant DL Clemson Clelin Ferrell DL Clemson Albert Huggins DL Clemson Dexter Lawrence DL Clemson Joseph Kendall LB Clemson Tre Lamar LB Clemson Mitch Hyatt OL Clemson Christian Wilkins DL Clemson Hunter Renfrow WR Clemson Joe Giles-Harris LB Duke Daniel Jones QB Duke Daniel Helm TE Duke Brian Burns DL Florida State Demarcus Christmas DL Florida State Nyqwan Murray WR Florida State Jaylen Smith WR Louisville Mike Jackson DB Miami Jaquan Johnson DB Miami Joe Jackson DL Miami Travis Homer RB Miami Sheldrick Redwine DB Miami Gerald Willis DL Miami Germaine Pratt LB NC State Garrett Bradbury OL NC State Tyler Jones OL NC State Ryan Finley QB NC State Kelvin Harmon WR NC State Jakobi Meyers WR NC State Malik Carney DL North Carolina William Sweet OL North Carolina Julian Love DB Notre Dame Te'Von Coney LB Notre Dame Alex Bars OL Notre Dame Alize Mack TE Notre Dame Miles Boykin WR Notre Dame Jerry Tillery DL Notre Dame Drue Tranquill LB Notre Dame Dexter Williams RB Notre Dame Qadree Ollison RB Pittsburgh Jamal Custis WR Syracuse Chris Slayton DL Syracuse Juan Thornhill DB Virginia Yosh Nijman OL Virginia Tech Phil Haynes OL Wake Forest Greg Dortch WR Wake Forest ...[/I] [B][URL="https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2019/02/should-willie-taggart-be-on-hot-seat-yet.html"]ACC Football Rx: Should Willie Taggart be on the Hot Seat yet?[/URL] (RX; HM)[/B] [I]From Chopchat: Why Willie Taggart should NOT be on hot seat in 2019 Since the season finale loss to Florida, Taggart has been ridiculed by seemingly everyone who covers the sport... Here are the three reasons why Taggart should not be on the hot seat during the 2019 season: 1. Signing Day Success FSU football achieved plenty of success getting players at positions of need in 2019 signing class [namely offensive line and secondary]... Detractors of Taggart seem to ignore that fact just to focus on how no quarterback was recruited for a second straight season after the defection of Sam Howell and Lance LeGendre going to Maryland – only realizing that QB wasn’t a position of need until three days before signing day after Taggart made the right move to dismiss Deondre Francois. Would you rather start with a quarterback but no offensive line - like Fisher had - or with an offensive line but no quarterback? Of course you want both, but QB is just one player - and easier to recruit if he has a strong OL to stand behind. 2. Still Cleaning up Fisher's mess ...let us not act like this was a team that Taggart drove into the ground. This was a team who, just one season before, only became eligible for a bowl game because it beat three FBS teams (Syracuse, UF and a makeup game against Louisiana Monroe) that had a combined record of 13-22…along with a FCS team in Delaware State that had won five of their previous 50 games... FSU football family need to stop thinking [Taggart] was handed the 2013 national championship team... Well put... and I might remind you readers that FSU had to schedule and play the ULM game on ACC Championship day in 2017 just to be bowl-eligible... that's the team Taggart inherited. 3.
