Big Start For Big East Soccer

The Big East sent four teams  to the first round  of the state soccer playoffs and three will live to play another day.  Both Wilson County schools as the top two seeds in the conference got home games and both held serve Fike beat Rockingham County 5-2.  Hunt shutout Northern Vance 5 zip.  Where you can judge how strong  the conference might be is when the lower seed teams hit the road and tonight Northern Nash has advanced to round two after a 1-0 win at Cleveland.  Last night Rocky Mount traveled to Chapel Hill and was knocked out of the playoffs  7-0.  So the Big  East heads to round two with three still alive.

Who would have thunk it.  Had less than 500 week picking NFL games, right at 500 in high school and was 7-0 in last weeks college picks.  I'm up  to 65-23 on college guesses.  Has anybody notices that just about half the ACC teams have a 4-4 record?.  That surely can't help Florida State in keeping them in the top four for the college football playoffs.

North Carolina Wesleyan visits Maryville TN Battling Bishops 4-3 3-2 in USA South while Maryville is 5-2 4-1.  This is another hard one to pick  NCW.  Maryville 32- NCW 24

N C State 4-4 0-4 at Syracuse 3-5 1-3.  The Wolfpack beginning to run out of chances to break their conference losing streak if they don't get it this week.  I think they will.  Can you remember the last time the Pack played in the Carrier Dome.  They beat the Cuse in overtime beating Donavan McNabb.  Pack 31- The Orange 26

ECU 6-1 at Temple 4-3.  I think this game will be played in front of more ECU fans than Temple.  Hard to get up to play in an empty stadium.  Pirates have had a hard time getting up for anybody lately.
real trap game here.  Pirates survive 34-22.

UNC 4-4 2-2 at Miami 5-3 2-2.  If any body is going to win the division besides Duke it's Miami/  34-27 The U.

Duke 6-1 2-1 at Pitt 4-4 2-2.  The Devils keep winning and are 6-1.  They probably are at 7-1 Sunday   35-21.

Virginia 4-4 2-2 at Georgia Tech 6-2 3-2..  Virginia is a decent football team but GT call score on anybody  GT38 Virginia 24

BC 5-3 2-2 at Virginia Tech 4-4 1-3.  I am not picking Tech any more this year and don't see how they beat Ohio St which has to tell you something about the Big Ten.  BC 24 VT 16
