PODCAST: 2012 ACC Preview with ACCSports.com's Jim Young
We kick off our 2012 Conference Preview Podcast series with the ACC. ACCSports.com's Jim Young joins me on the podcast to break in our new "People, Places, Things" Preview. Jim and I each provide some of the people, places - such as the Georgia Dome, and things - such as Twitter - that will define the 2012 season in the ACC.
It may sound confusing on the surface, but if you take a look at the topics below and give it a listen I think you will catch on pretty quickly. Jim's got his finger on the pulse of the ACC; from in-depth recruiting storylines to ESPN's role in conference realignment. In addition to being a friend of the Eye On College Football blog, Jim hosts his own ACC Podcast with Hayes Permar which I suggest you check out as well.
Below are just some of the topics covered in the podcast:
A discussion of Twitter. How it can help fans get to know players, and how coaches deal with it. (1:30)
The different ways that Virginia (the state) will have an impact on the 2012 season. Players, games, teams all included. (4:12)
