I've said the same in other threads. Look at the source of income - donations are the largest difference between the schools.

How do you calculate Ease of Schedule? Specifically, how do you measure the "talent of the team". That's why this is stupid. Strength of Schedule is a flawed but measurable way to compare two teams outside of a playoff system for some sort of post season award or inclusion in a playoff, so...

This is completely stupid.

As fans, it's pretty well ingrained: "Don't touch the blocked FG". It was definitely my first reaction, and I remember later that night everyone talking about going NO NO NO NO NO....YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! Images of Leon Lett dancing through my head.

It's sad that people think it's OK to do stuff like that. Reggie had his ups and downs like 99.9% of players, but on balance he did a great job. He also played with and through injuries and never complained about it or used it as an excuse, which to me is very commendable.

Thanks for posting, this is a great story. I really liked his mom saying, "I thought it would be cool for Carter to emulate Reggie's athletic ability, but after what he's done I would want Carter to emulate the type of man he is." That's the highest compliment you can get, IMHO.

For me it was: They're gonna beat us on a last second field goal. Oh my god they blocked it. NO, DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!! OMG, HE TOUCHED IT! He's gonna try to run it back. Oh sheet he's coming around the corner. Oh my god he's got blockers. HE GOT PAST THE KICKER. HOLY FFFFF HE RAN IT BACK FOR A...

Exactly, that's why I'm seeing some similarities in the time period. If 2024 - 2027 is as good as 1997 - 2000 I'll be pretty happy.

Back then, I think the travel distance was a huge negative, and our fans probably would’ve complained a lot about not being able to go to away games. With exponential revenue growth the travel concerns dissipated, but it was a big deal at the time.

Thinking about it, that ‘92 FSU game was basically the start downward, and the re-emergence was beating a ranked Maryland team at home in 1995, I think.

Glad you’re here! 1992-1995 was terrible, and a lot like the Collin’s years. I’m hoping Key will be like George O’Leary. Either way, it feels similar to that 1996 vibe right now.

Anderson’s visuals and background details are what sucks me in. I loved the Royal Tennenbaums, and the Gypsy Cab company always makes me laugh.

What took you so long? I’ve hated their fans since 1992.

Here's the amended GOR, supposedly: https://www.docdroid.net/vnTS55Y/2016-amendment-acc-grant-of-rights-agmt-pdf This basically just extends the date, but mentions that it's tied to the ESPN agreement. It also says that: "ESPN has informed the Conference that it will enter into the...

ESPN could just improve our deal.

That sounds dangerously close to illegal, IMHO. At least breach of contract, with the goal to enrich themselves by breaking up the ACC.

Still an ACC Championship. Rules is rules.

Paul was an amazing coach and had command of his offense to such an extent that he was a great game day coach. Our recruiting wasn’t poor due to scheme, it was due to effort and money.

Ironically, the last time we were good was when Schensher was here. And Perdue was pretty darn good with an 80’s lineup.

I always think back to Ryan Leaf vs Peyton Manning. When they were in the draft it was a toss up on which one would be selected. Leaf’s arm strength, in particular, was a huge physical advantage compared to Manning. But Leaf was a head case ultimately, and Manning was the fiercest of...
