Continuing in an ESPN press release theme this morning, we have the Alleged Worldwide Leader’s announcement of its 2012 ACC football Labor Day and primetime schedule. Just five games released thus far, but in particular, the game on November 8th between Florida State and Virginia Tech in primetime has the potential to be a doozy. We’ll have to see how the season plays out, but on paper, it looks like a very good matchup.
For that and the other four games released thus far, check out the blurb below.
ESPN’s 2012 Labor Day and Thursday Primetime ACC Football Schedule
