Welcome to National Teacher Day!


National Teacher Day honors and pays tribute to American educators. It is sponsored by the National Education Association (NEA) and is part of Teacher Appreciation Week. On the day, students, parents, and others give thanks to their teachers, to teachers of their children, and to teachers in their community. Local communities and organizations are encouraged to honor teachers on the day. The day is also used to encourage people to become teachers.

The roots of the day go back to 1944, when Mattie White Woodridge, a teacher from Helena, Arkansas (and later principal at Helena's North End School), began a campaign to start a national day for teachers. She started correspondence with political and education leaders around the United States. At some point, she wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, who helped take up her cause, and had a hand in convincing Congress to pass a joint resolution to create the day. Additionally, around 1948, a National Teachers Day Committee was formed. It helped introduce the joint resolution for the day to Congress, and in 1950 it asked the governors in all 48 states to enlist the public to push for the day's creation. Eventually, the 81st Congress, which was in office from January 1949 through January 1951, passed the joint resolution that designated the day to take place on the first Tuesday in March.

Three former Syracuse football players sign as undrafted free agents (TNIAAM; McCaulsky)

For the first time since 2017, no Syracuse Orange football player heard their name called during this year’s NFL Draft.

But all is not lost. Two former Syracuse players have already signed UDFA (Undrafted Free Agent) deals and another has multiple camp invitations. They consist of Josh Black, Kingsley Jonathan, and McKinley Williams, all of whom are defensive linemen.

Black, an Illinois native received a training camp invite to fight for a spot on his hometown team, the Chicago Bears. He has also been invited to camp with the New Orleans Saints.

ACC spring football recaps: Breaking down the offseason for each team (ESPN; Adelson & Hale)

With spring football wrapped up and the start of another season just four months away, let's take a look at what we've learned and what we still need to learn for each ACC team. Has Clemson figured out its quarterback issues? Is Mario Cristobal ready to make an instant impact? And what will Pitt do if Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison moves on? Let's break it all down.

Atlantic Division

Clemson Tigers

What we learned this spring: There's no immediate cure to Clemson's QB woes. If fans were hoping highly touted freshman Cade Klubnik would offer a genuine alternative to much-maligned D.J. Uiagalelei, there was little evidence of a real competition this spring. Indeed, Uiagalelei drew a fair amount of praise from coaches after he arrived with a slimmed-down physique and a renewed focus on football. Meanwhile, Klubnik endured his share of freshman mistakes. That much might've been expected, but after Clemson saw early signs that Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawrence would ultimately unseat a veteran ahead of them on the depth chart during their first spring practices, there's a lot more gray area with Klubnik and plenty of questions remaining about Uiagalelei.

What we need to learn by Week 1: Pretty much everything about the offense. Following a season defined by offensive injuries and ineptitude, spring ball at Clemson was largely marked by ... offensive injuries and ineptitude. There was progress in a few areas, and new offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter and passing game coordinator Kyle Richardson talked at length about a trimmed-down playbook aimed at letting playmakers make plays. Thing is, there weren't many playmakers on the field during spring ball. From Beaux Collins to Will Shipley to Kobe Pace and Will Taylor, there just weren't many options for the QBs to use. And while Dabo Swinney says he's in the market for a transfer on the O-line, the existing group remains a work in progress. In other words, the only offensive certainty after spring is that there's still not much that's certain.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons

What we learned this spring: There's room for optimism on defense. It's hard to take too much away from the spring game, but the Demon Deacons' D did look far better under new coordinator Brad Lambert. Of course, there wasn't much tackling involved, and Wake's offensive starters played limited snaps. Still, Lambert's installation seemed to move forward nicely, and while big questions remain -- particularly at linebacker -- there are pieces in place to make the case that Wake's defense won't be the massive liability it was in 2021. If the trend line continues pointing up, it's a unit that could look vastly better by Week 1.

What we need to learn by Week 1: Who is carrying the rock? A year ago, it was Kenneth Walker III who transferred out, and while he became a star at Michigan State, the Deacons didn't miss a beat with a three-headed monster at tailback. This year, Christian Beal-Smith -- who led the team with 604 yards rushing in 2021 -- hit the portal. Wake still has solid options in Justice Ellison and Christian Turner, but Dave Clawson has prioritized depth at the position, hoping to keep any one back from getting too much wear and tear. Perhaps more noteworthy, when Beal-Smith was on the field last year, Wake averaged a yard per play more than it did with either of the other two backs on the field.

Syracuse Orange

What we learned this spring: The offense might look a bit more like Dino Babers' offenses have usually looked. Credit new offensive coordinator Robert Anae, who worked magic with Virginia's offense a year ago, with an up-tempo passing attack that should dovetail nicely with Babers' history of fast-paced play. Syracuse relied heavily on its ground game last year behind All-ACC back Sean Tucker and the wheels of QB Garrett Shrader, but the Orange showed off some options in the passing game this spring, with Justin Lamson making his pitch for the starting QB job with a huge spring game, and a few young receivers such as Damien Alford and Donovan Brown flashing real potential.

What we need to learn by Week 1: Can Babers land some defensive line help via the transfer portal? The Orange saw all three starters from last year's group depart, and the players that are left are both limited in experience and incredibly undersized. Depth is an obvious issue, but if Syracuse wants to get its defense right, it's going to need to find some help from the portal to bring in at least one impact player up front.

ACC Panic Room: NFL Draft trends impacted UNC's Howell and Pitt's Pickett :: WRALSportsFan.com (wralsportsfan.com; video; Ovies & Brownlow)

Best Helmets of 2022 (RX; HM)

Best Helmets of 2022

This post was inspired by a tweet:
Top 25 CFB helmets, according to @247Sports pic.twitter.com/SrabBSJvCz
— Saturday Down South (@SatDownSouth) April 26, 2022
It's great that 7 ACC teams plus Notre Dame were picked as having top 25 helmets (although I might have chosen different helmets - but maybe that's just me?). However, the tweet left out some very important: the helmets themselves! Here they are, with my personal comments:

Notre Dame
Ever so often, someone ranks
the plain gold helmets worn by
the Fighting Irish as one of the
best. Who am I to argue?

Louisville
I think the OP was referring
to the ruby red metallic hats,
rather than this clean classic
look. Both have their place.

Miami
Orange and green is a bold
color combination, and the "U"
has become their trademark.

N Carolina
When the Tar Heels wanted to
spice up their look, they added
argyle. It works for them.

Florida State
I know, they've changed the
spear over the years, but they'll
never beat this classic look.

NC State
I like Wolfie better than the old
NCS, and I like that it comes in
red, black, or white.

Pitt
Perhaps the best thing Pitt
ever did was bring back the
script; the old color scheme
was the icing on top!

Clemson
There are a lot of "Tigers" in
sports, but to my knowledge
there's only one who wears the
paw - so iconic!

Which ND Games get the best TV ratings? (RX; HM)

Which ND Games get the best TV ratings?

No doubt there are those who feel that ACC football holds back the Fighting Irish - but is that true?
From a comment posted by Wahoowa84 on CSNBBS:

Looking at ND's marquee TV media games (> 4M viewers) during the past 5 seasons, it's fascinating that only 4 out of 16 were home games. Either NBC doesn't have enough clout or ND's deals with the PAC and ACC seems to be working better for those conference's media partners. Both of the highly rated games against the PAC were on the road (@ Stanford in 2017 and @ USC in 2018). Seven out of nine highly rated games against the ACC were televised by ESPN. Further adding intrigue is that 56% (9 of 16) of these marquee games are against the ACC...even though the ACC is only 5 of 12 opponents per season.

2020CCG9.92ClemNDACC
202117.751NDFSUACC
202145.369NDWiscB1G

For all the grief that some ND fans express regarding disliking their ACC commitment, TV ratings seem to be suggest a different viewpoint.

I spot-checked his data - it's spot-on. Notre Dame got better ratings during it's year in the ACC than any before or since, at least in the last 5 seasons.

Syracuse wants your ideas for revitalizing lakefront, Inner Harbor (PS; Moriarty)

Got an idea for revitalizing Syracuse’s lakefront and Inner Harbor? The city wants to hear from you.

The city, in conjunction with Onondaga County and the state, will host an open house Wednesday for people to view and share their thoughts on proposals to revitalize Onondaga Lake and turn the lakefront and Syracuse Inner Harbor areas into “vibrant, mixed-use neighborhoods.”

The event will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the historic freight house in the Inner Harbor at 425 Solar St.

The city is looking for proposed community projects that support natural resource protection, enhance waterfront access for pedestrians, improve inter-connectivity and transportation options, and provide economic revitalization opportunities.

“Today, the Inner Harbor and lakefront area remains one of the last underdeveloped areas in the city, and it is time to turn this underutilized space into a vibrant destination for residents and businesses alike,” said Mayor Ben Walsh.

The city, county and state are developing a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, a comprehensive plan for “re-imagining” the waterfront. Selected projects should enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors, preserve the environment, encourage economic investment, and “seamlessly integrate into the fabric of our city,” according to the city.

City officials are encouraging the public to attend the open house and provide feedback on initial project ideas for the lakefront.

The areas include land along Onondaga Lake, Onondaga Creek and the Inner Harbor generally between Interstates 690 and 81. Key landmarks and destinations within the area are NBT Stadium, Destiny USA, CNY Regional Market, Onondaga Creekwalk, Empire State Trail and Loop the Lake Trail, and St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater.
