If you don’t like being an underdog, then you’re going to have to start winning some games as an underdog. No time like the present!

If you’re arguing “national vs regional” then your point regarding GT fans staying GT fans is appropriate. The context of the discussion I was having is with regard to the division of college athletics “major vs minor” or “power 2 vs the rest of what is currently D1.” In that context, I don’t...

Kudos on your sharper mind and faster fingers. ;) Couldn’t say it better myself (although I tried).

That’s kind of a straw man.... if big college football has decided it doesn’t need GT fans, then whether or not I remain a GT fan is irrelevant. Big college football is banking on drawing MORE eyeballs, and its plan to do it includes alienating dozens of “lesser” programs. The real question...

I agree mostly with this. FWIW, I agree mostly with your the larger post you made if you had said “college FOOTBALL” and not “college sports.” Maybe this will work for football. I don’t see it working for anyone else. I’m sure it won’t come to pass, but I would prefer to see a scenario where...

I could almost argue the opposite, saying that college conferences should give up the notion that they can be like pro sports... Regardless, even if what we are seeing right now is good for college football (that still remains to be seen, imho), there is no denying that it is BAD (potentially...

As a Midwesterner turned southerner I have done my fair share of butchering pronunciation in English, let alone other languages. That said, if I have ever uttered the word forte, I am certain I did it wrong and would’ve said “for-tay” As a matter of fact, I don’t ever recall hearing it...

We need 12 votes (that we can’t get) to add a member but only 8 to blow up the conference? That’s all internet fantasy from FSU fans.

I know this much... the next top ten finisher won’t change the order. ;) Wonder if this was done for other conferences / divisons.... outside of the SEC West, I would expect all of them to look extremely top heavy.

Maybe? Currently it takes 4 teams to block major changes. With the addition of two, it would take 5. But that seems an odd reason

Just because Clemson and FSU voted “no” doesn’t necessarily mean that those voting “yes” have different outlook/ plans. Honestly, I would think that schools wanting a way out would benefit more from churning membership than the status quo. I am sure there are schools holding votes they...

Sorry… I decided I couldn’t “like” that. That’s a visual I didn’t need today! :D

To be honest, sounds better than, “ITS MONEYDOOOOWN!” :D

Good ones! You touched on another one for me. The rampant misuse of the word “myself.” I think it stems from not knowing how to use “me” or “I,” so instead of being wrong once in a while, they opt to say “myself” and they’re wrong all the time.

ACC: ESPN: ND: ESPN / ACC: ND to ACC:

I’m 1000% on board with both of you. :mad::banghead: I could handle the 110% cliche because it was cliche, but that just drives me nuts for some reason.

Instant rivalry. “The Turf War”

I have now discovered the fourth. In a statement, Syracuse president stated that they find the nickname Golden Bears offensive toward bears of other colors. They would recommend Cal for inclusion if they change their nickname to “The Golden.”

I know of three for sure… FSU is holding out any vote for release from the GOR… Duh. I’m hearing that the Jesuits strenuously object to including the Methodists. I also heard the Louisville president state that the Cardinals feel that THE CARDINAL is not very inclusive, and they won’t...
