I too enjoy your info.

I'm not sure, however, if I would call that the Wolfpack's best win (beating Duke) as they also beat Notre Dame and Florida State. Very Inconsistent, they lost to Syracuse and Miami.

I hope you are not shocked that the Clemson Tigers are 0-5 in the ACC - that's about par for the course. That they were beaten so soundly, yeah, that was a bit of a shock.

And happy to see you reporting on your favorite team, the UNC Tar Heels.:rolleyes:
