2011 East-West Shrine Game, 4, NFL Network: While the Senior Bowl is an absolute SEC showcase, this one offers something for ACC fans as well, including Virginia Tech Hokies QB Tyrod Taylor. Georgia Bulldogs LB Akeem Dent and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets DB Mario Butler are also among local conference players involved.

This one also features former Atlanta Falcons coaches Dan Reeves and Wade Philips patrolling the sidelines, and I can spend all morning coming up with reasons for you to watch this thing if you need me to. Besides the fact that it's, you know, the second-to-last college football game of the season that anybody is aware of, one last chance to eyeball a future NFL star or two, and football on a Saturday. .com will have more on the game, and we'll probably try to keep up with it one way or another.
