but things can change.
That's a pretty sweet pick-up.
why would mizzou be in the east and ncsu in the west?
because I cannot handle the disappointment if this is wrong. This is exactly what I want to happen. Ralph Freidgen? Tony Franklin? This would be such amazing news if it wasn't in a tweet by someone I've never heard of.
Realized I probably should have included our former ACC brethren in this post:
South Carolina is Triple H – Was a member of WCW several years ago, but was really just a glorified jobber. Left the organization and ended up in WWE. He struggled mightily there in the beginning, but has found his untapped potential and become a superstar who can hang with the best of the best in WWE. He’s maybe not quite at the level of Austin, Rock or Undertaker, but all of a sudden, he’s in the conversation.
Slater was awesome. I remember being pumped when they teamed he and Dick Murdoch up, thinking it was going to be the ultimate badass team. Then they never did anything with them.
I might be able to see GT leaving but I don't know too much about their administration.
He will have the opportunity to stay in job similar to what Cav has. From what I have heard, o'Cain, Newsome and Cav are retiring. A new OC is coming in and will get to pick is assistants.
This is when Jim Weaver earns his paycheck. I hope that he is up to the task of negotiating our sporting future.
Would mean ND would join the ACC in football. Would actually force them to join a conference. Only thing that could/would save the ACC. I'd bet it was part of their deal to join in the first place. Everyone keeps says "for now". Will be interesting bro watch.
I doubt the Big 10 will take 2 without including ND. If they do, ND successfully dug its own grave.
I was going to just respond with this.
But then I looked at his Twitter, and yup.
I just keep stumbling into college football news...Virginia Tech will reportedly fire offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring— Kevin Jones (@Mr_KevinJones) December 1, 2012
Now I will respond with this.
The Notre Dame thing messed this all up. They are not a good fit for the ACC. They think they are in a different league. They wont jump into the football conference and they wont share their money and they will screw everyone in the conference. They are like the mafia.
The deal they had in the BigEast was bullshit --robbed us of the Fiesta bowl against Oregon St. I dont blame Maryland and I wouldnt blame GT and UVA. Swofford shouldve never let Notre Dame in...its all about money and catering to Notre Dame-- not about the landscape of the ACC. I was so happy when we made the jump to the ACC...now I think we need to leave too.
Doesn't the Big Ten have a rule that your school's state has to be adjacent to a current members state? Because if that's the case then GT can't leave.
If this turns out to be true, the VT MUST go to the SEC or face a new dark age as has beens and alsorans
Also found out that UNC is the B1G discussion as well. Don't know the extent of it though
Well I missed last week and the first two games of this week, so I guess its a Pick4 for me. I am just a hair over 50% and maybe if I was some smart engineer I would be able to figure out exactly what I need to reach my desired goal of 50% on the number.
Oklahoma - The last game I saw the horned frogs were a quarterback away from being good. I haven't seen that Pawwwwwwwlllll Hawwwwwllllllll is playing so I am taking the Sonners.
Alabama - This maybe Little Saint Nicky's worse team in three years. Sadly, Georgia doesn't have Johnny Football as it QB, more like Aaron Interception in Big Games.
Florida State - Well the Kent St/GiT Orange Bowl is in the crapper so Florida State will once again prove they are back and in complete control of the ACC, until they find somewhere better to go. The chances of me watching this game are really really slim.
Nebraska - The alternative to watching the #ACCCG is this game. To me, this is like choosing between Miller Lite and Bud Lite. Neither is good but I like beer so I would make a choice. Nebraska b/c their fans have been dreaming of the Rose Bowl for like 2 years now. History my friends.
Beer of the week and really the month for me is local brewer, Maritime Pacific, Jolly Roger Christmas Ale. Truly my favorite non-pilsner beer and it just wouldn't be the holidays without it.
big, if true
as we know it is toast I'd wager. Would not be surprised to see 8 more teams announce they are leaving the ACC for other conferences before the year is over. Likely 2 more to the B1G, 2 to the SEC and 4 to the Big12.
#VT4SEC.
just tweeted this: "I just keep stumbling into college football news...Virginia Tech will reportedly fire offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring." I'll believe it when I see it.
if UVA and GT leave to make the B1G the first 16 team super-conference. The final 6 lottery spots (2 in SEC, 4 in Big-12) will be up for grabs for the remaining decent football teams in the ACC. The question is will the SEC and the Big-12 play the "keep up with Jones" game and join the B1G as additional 16 team super-conferences. Then there's the wild card, the Pac-12, which already covets teams in the Big-12. If VT does not end up in the SEC after UVA and GT bolt for the B1G, we are done as a nationally relevant program.
It's the market that is attractive to the B1G. Not sure where ATL ranks in TV market size for US cities, but I bet it is in the top 15. That is a boatload of potential cable subscriptions for the Big10 network. Your team does not have to be good to have a lot of alumni and a lot of potential viewers demanding to have a cable package with the Big10 network. GaTech will follow UMD in a heartbeat I predict if they get an offer from the B1G. If this happens, "Katy bar the door" cuz the ACC is going to see a lot of defections very soon I predict. #VT4SEC
Would UVA and GT bolting for B1G result in Klempsun, FSU, VT, UNC, NCState to look elsewhere? I guess I don't see how it really hurts the conference too much so there would be no point in panicking and disbanding the league. Maybe the ACC can join with the Big 12 and make the Enormous 24.
Can't we just start a 'Transition Period' next for the VT4SEC movement where we switch out BC for Tennessee on our schedule and it can count as a "conference" game?
Why can't we do this? This should totally be allowed. Natural Rivals!
Ninja Swoff needs to make this happen for us.
I couldn't see the state of Virginia letting UVA leave without having a secure future for VT. So I wouldn't be surprised if we start talking to the SEC right now.
