Before heading off for Charlotte for the 2016 ACC Football Kickoff, I took a few minutes to fill out my preseason All-ACC ballot.
Befitting our non-stop election season, I tried to write in Bernie Sanders or John Kasich, but was unable, so what you see below is a bit of a protest.
Hold your cards and letters: I’m kidding there, of course.
(My write-in vote in November is going to The Dude from “The Big Lebowski.”)
Have at me, interwebs. (I no doubt deserve it.)
