Vegas thinks we suck. I think we slightly exceed expectations. I’m going with WCU, Duke, Pitt, and FSU.

My brain says three, my heart likes beer, whiskey, and bowling. I’m going with my heart again.

I’m not sure why he’d trade one cesspool for another. 😎

FWIW, I don’t think we will end up in the B1G or SEC. I hope we do for many reasons but I just don’t see it happening. I really do think that Clemson, FSU, Miami, and maybe one more team will try to get out. Frankly, they have more to lose than we do by staying. I think our best hope is for...

If the ACC becomes known as second tier sports, I don’t see how the value can be retained. I think the value is dropping, along with the ACC’s leverage, with every power move made by the B1G and SEC. GOR $ is not a static, guaranteed return, as I understand it.

Contracts can be amended if all parties are in agreement. The homeowners could go to Cheap Oil Co. and say, “We estimate that your mineral rights are worth $X over Y years. Would you accept $X*Y in a lump sum?” Or a good negotiator, knowing lump sums are attractive, could offer ($X*Y)/Z...

To me, it looks like if you aren’t in the B1G or the SEC then your future is uncertain. The Pac12 and Big12 appear to be on their way to second tier through attrition and the ACC may be headed to second tier due to GoR. I think I’d be even more concerned about being in the ACC if I was a...

How could I forget that…. Yikes

CGC seems untouchable to some on this board.

I think I understand what you’re saying about mobility (and agree with the sentiment) but I’m not sure how you pull that off. There will still be conferences inside the tiers and I’m not sure who would tell a conference they should promote/demote a university. I think the only possibility is...

I don’t remember 2010 but in 2015 everybody from the QB (and backup QB, IIRC) to the water boy was injured. I remember driving up to ND with high hopes and driving back thinking, “That is definitely not the team from last year.”

And leaving the SEC. I’d rather be sitting with Vandy in the cellar than be in the situation we are in now.

I’m not sure Paul’s teams “regularly exceeded expectations” but I believe he was able to do more with less. Collins is doing less with more. Bring on the boos.

Looking at the defense numbers. Was the ‘85 Bears defense playing for us that year? Stellar D. I looked up the 1985 season on Wikipedia and we played three games against the SEC that year and we were 1-1-1. Lost to Auburn by a FG, tied Tennessee, and beat the Mutts by 4. 9-2-1 overall that...

You have a point…😉

I’d love to be in the B1G or SEC, in that order. However, I think the transition over the past three years would’ve been even uglier if we had been.

As I look at this 1990 Natty bottle on my shelf, I have to remember that we went 15-38 between 1979 and 1983 and we only had a single win in two of those seasons. Different landscape now but things can turn around but the sooner the better. Go Jackets!

He better work out a compensation plan for his offensive lineman. They may whiff on some blocks if he doesn’t share the love.

If the ACC is seen as having the lower tier teams then there will be a cost associated with staying in the ACC; the money they are making versus the money they could be making by leaving. Not to mention that the big stars will want to go to the upper tier schools. I’m not saying this will...

I don’t see ND on the AAU school list. Does the B1G 10 consider AAU membership a prerequisite or is membership a wish list item? Maybe membership would be easy for them to attain.
