Week 9 Television Schedule

The Heels get another Thursday night contest, albeit in Blacksburg, VA one of, if not the, toughest places to play in the nation on ESPN's week night showcase. The Doc and Co will be down in Tallahassee as FSU looks to get their second ACC win in a row by beating up on another team from the great north state. As we all know Bob Griese won't be in the mix due to his "taco" comment so Clay Blackburn steps up to battle wits with Chris Spielman.

For the days biggest games Jacksonville, Eugene and Stillwater will be on display and they should all be solid. Drop a note about your thoughts on the games, the teams calling them and of course your predictions before ITB's One Sentence Predictions drop tomorrow.

On another note I'll be in Chicago for the Halloween weekend on my first trip to the Windy City.

Any suggestions for tasty libations and a solid home base for a North Carolina boy looking to enjoy the Cocktail Party and the rest of the Saturday slate? Gold Coast baby!
