The way things are headed, Agnes Scott might be pretty formidable opponent soon…

Not the progression you saw, but heck yeah! I vs X tells the tale. UGA I UGA X

Thanks for not posting this to the barbecue thread we’ve got going…

I think “decades” is a bit overblown, but several years of consistent results will certainly be needed. On the second part, I agree, I am not optimistic in the messaging from the ACC. If I were running the marketing campaign, I would stop the reactionary sniveling… “no, really, we’re...

If we are missing because of self inflicted wounds, I can live with that. The ACC has been pretty damned bad and there is no denying it. We need some teams to start notching wins. Bottom line. Hype machine will help, but all the hype in the world won’t make a difference if the performance is...

I don’t disagree at all with the notion that we (ACC) are losing the media / marketing / perception battle. SEC no doubt corners the market in that regard. I think our only disagreement is that you believe this year was the tipping point and I don’t believe it is… yet… although it seems closer...

I had to read this twice… I thought you just entered, rabbit into the BBQ debate! Wabbit?!?

Can we all at least agree that the apparatus used to create barbecue is not called a “barbecue?”

You’re being awfully dramatic! The circumstances of this year have never happened before and will never happen again. Its maddening but irrelevant. Yes, I am sure there will be years where the ACC is a “one bid league” but the same goes for the B12 and it won’t be an annual thing. The...

I don’t believe that only FSU goes. I think there’s a good shot that UNC abandons this thing they “built” (or at least act like they built). Clemson? Maybe UVA? Maybe ND? Maybe.. prob not. GT? Miami? others? Longshots Basically, outside of 3-4 schools, no one is getting full shares from...

Well, I want to win the lottery. I have gone to the website and I read the rules. I know the requirements and even buy the tickets. There is just one small problem…

You’re also assuming the option is flat… probably not a reasonable or realistic assumption. FSU and Clem and ?? can’t just “decide to leave” unless they leave their rights or pay huge sums for them. The GOR is in effect until 2036 or (presumably) the end of the ESPN deal. ESPN has the right to...

A very valid opinion at that. I am hoping you’re right and I am looking forward to whatever innovation bomb the ACC drops on college athletics. When history looks back on civilization’s greatest achievements I hope to find the ACC on the list somewhere between the wheel and sliced bread. (y)

There is no coming back for them and the “one bad apple” axiom is screaming for us to make sure the check cashes and show them the door!

Because football doesn’t start until the SEC is playing. Just another marketing ploy to keep us down!

I agree with all of this; excellent points. The ACC is certainly being outpaced. What I think most find frustrating (and deem it regression) is what seems to be a matter of fact approach. ACC desires to maintain “slow and steady,” when others have rushed ahead. The ACC feels like it has become...

The song remains the same… Many college sports fans (and many within the ACC) are still accepting it. @SOWEGA Jacket is one of many. This board (several of us at least) is part of a very small and likely shrinking minority of folks who don’t see the inevitable decline (or dissolution) of the...
