Rivalry week is upon us, which means it’s time for bulletin board material, obscure trophies, and a whole lot of hatred. That means Virginia vs. Virginia Tech and North Carolina vs. NC State are in the mix for The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast. Those games air back to back on the ACC Network on Saturday.
This episode has everything you need to get ready for a weekend of turkey and regional conflict. Topics for discussion included:
- Mike Woodson’s “trickery” (0:00-4:23)
- How wins from NC State and UVA set up a more meaningful Commonwealth Clash (4:23-14:13)
- The biggest storylines of Week 12 games, including a shocking Auburn upset and close wins from title contenders (14:13-20:16)
- College Football Playoff scenarios (20:16-32:00)
- Whether Mack Brown’s return to UNC is good for Carolina haters (32:00-37:26)

TheSabre.com presents The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast, a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw, a University of Virginia graduate and fan, and Michael Shutt, a life-long NC State fan, both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference … plus plenty of healthy ABC – (Anybody But Carolina) bias.
