ACC & Friends.

Here is my take: Talent: Not sure who has the edge. I'm leaning Tech, but I don't follow Louisville closely enough to be sure. Venue: Obviously, Louisville has the home field advantage. Coaching: I REALLY like Tech's coaching staff. Desire: All other things being equal or nearly so, I gotta go...

Duke is the home of a Methodist Seminary/Divinity School. Since the Methodists aren't united anymore, a match-up with SMU could have all sorts of proxy overtones. Okay, not really. But we're all killing time before kickoff.

I've often wondered about why we would ever want to play a game at Mercedes Benz Stadium. It feels like we are giving up our true home field advantage. And for the Georgia game, we're simply selling more tickets to UGA fans so we're sure to be outnumbered (seems to happen at BDS, also!). Is...

Which is what, exactly? Are you saying that the money disparity between the ACC and the other power conferences is not a relevant topic to Tech fans right now? When the ACC is voting this very morning (allegedly) on whether or not to add two west coast schools simply to survive the arms race...

I realize that some folks are wound a little tight...it's game day at last, but let me see if I have this straight... We can talk about the state of the program and the glory days and what led to our current situation on a near-perpetual basis, we can speculate about conference realignment ad...

FWIW, Bama's facility cost $288,000,000, and Texas A&M spent $485,000,000. This is nuts.

It's time to go on the record.

Being in the B1G or the SEC comes with benefits. Like more money and recruiting advantages. If (and I do mean if) we're ever invited to sit at the grown-up table again, we will see very quick improvements on the field that will enable us to hold our own against our conference opponents.

The bragging rights of playing the toughest schedules year after year doesn't compensate for getting hammered by OOC opponents. "Yeah, we were 5-7 and missed the bowl games, but hey, at least we got top honors for strength of schedule. Again." Enough. ADJB can't fix this fast enough.

If memory serves, they aren't west of the Rockies or eve the Mississippi, are they?

I wonder if ADJB negotiated the "friends and family" discount on new cars purchased by Tech alumni as part of the package. 🤔

Maybe this thread should be renamed, "Conference Realignment".
