CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The first day of the 2017 ACC Kickoff means football season is upon us. The eagerness to get back into the exhilarating swing of college football was in full effect at The Westin in Charlotte on Thursday, the day the Atlantic division took the spotlight of the ACC Kickoff.
The first day of the ACC Kickoff had college football fans swarming the internet. From posting player updates and trending quotes, all the way to Clemson’s defensive tackle Christian Wilkins impersonating his coach Dabo Swinney, the anticipation of college football kickoff weekend was obvious.
Here is what they are saying:
When asked why he's not wearing Natty ring to #ACCKickoff, Christian Wilkins said, "That's last year's accomplishment, doesn't matter now."
