This is why you should never storm while drunk. Clearly Matthew saw her in trouble and is coming to her aid to help walk her home

While I do agree Mortal Kombat is a very good game I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever!

He doesn't have to try hard. Nicole has no idea where she's going.

Doesn't matter - either way expect 1 hour delays for metro.

Larry thinks Heather knows everything about CFB and wants to date her.

No, that was not directed at you. Simply adding my thought on the 'just win' line. Sometimes simpler is better.

So, the latest model...
The Canes aren't doing anything outside of Florida?

We're willing to bend over backwards for ESPN with ACC Basketball by increasing the conference schedule, but somehow don't give a shit about football, which is the largest revenue-generating sport, when there is money lying on the table if we just play one more freaking conference game. This is exactly the same stupidity that ended the Big (L)east.

Keep it simple, stupid!

Out of curiosity, was this directed at me? Because if so, I feel like there's a less asshat way of getting your point across without resulting to petty insults and disrespect. Just because I agree with your perspective, doesn't mean it's not old and played out.
EDIT: the comma threw me off. For reference, if the acronym had just been posted, I would have connected. And I still feel that the whole "make a statement" is played out.

I think every single other thing he said speaks for itself. In the current environment it's difficult but doable as has been proven time and again. In the future, ADs would be prepared for those eventualities and provide backup plans and escape clauses and tighter negotiating. Saying it's hard is a cop-out. Judging from your screen name you're an engineer, and every engineer has been in this position before. Business asks for something to be done. You say it's extremely challenging for x, y, and z reasons. They stare at you blankly and say so, make it work. ADs get paid a lot of money to do this kind of stuff, I'm confident they can get it done. It ain't rocket surgery.

Ah, I see. Yeah, if it was something coming from the models yesterday I was preparing myself to stand in a waterfall

I think a lot of the reason behind the exposure this season has been the succession of high-profile ACC matchups. Louisville-FSU, Louisville-Clemson, FSU-Miami this weekend, FSU-Clemson later, and so on. We need our best teams playing each other frequently. It adds credibility to the strength of the conference when mighty FSU (one of the most talented rosters in the nation) can beat an SEC team in Ole Miss soundly week 1, then be beaten by ACC opponents in later weeks.

We need more VT-FSU, VT-Clemson, VT-UL, Miami-UL, Clemson-UNC, UNC-UL, etc. More high profile ACC games = more national exposure and people realizing the amount of good teams in the conference. Going to nine games will help make this happen more often without the conference completely cannibalizing itself and its playoff hopes. No one wants to see all these FCS games, period. I think the 9+1 model is the best fit.
