My wish list ... ND and Penn State or Texas.
I think ND is a no brainer (if they ever commit to a conference, which I think is going to become an increasing need for them)
Penn State would give the ACC a more solid NE footprint with BC and Pitt. And my personal opinion is they would bolt the Big10
Texas would give the ACC a competing entity for Missouri, Arkansas and TA&M in the SEC. Plus I think they would love to "flip the bird" to TA&M for joining the SEC.

A lot of SEC folks would love to land Texas. Houston,TCU or Baylor would be another team that would give the ACC a footprint in the Lone Star State.

The only two that probably would meet the academic profile of the ACC right now in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast area would be Vanderbilt and Tulane.

Outside Area: Baylor, TAMU, Texas???

They aren't on the academic level of Vanderbilt and Tulane but they would be good ACC additions sports wise and money wise.

I think I'll pass on the Baylor mess thank you

Ex-LSU QB Brandon Harris transferring to North Carolina

Former LSU quarterback Brandon Harris announced Sunday that he would transfer to North Carolina for his final season.

Harris, who lost the LSU starting job last season in Week 2, expects to graduate this summer and be eligible immediately as a graduate transfer.

Man, getting excited for next year because of this play: Watch where he gets hit.

Brandon Harris couldn't hit the side of a barn with his passing

This can only help us against them next year.

Fascinating view of not just the stadium, but the northern parts of the campus and what is now known as midtown. Not many dorms back then.

Wasn't that small building at one side of the stands Heisman Gym where GT played basketball until GT built McCamish Pavilion was built in 1956? Heisman Gym was so small and in such poor condition that UK Coach Adolph Rupp refused to let Kentucky play there..

That building may have been the gym in the 30s, but it was not the "old gym" that was used for PT in the 60s and had been used for basketball until the Dome was built. In the 60s, the old gym was where the north stands are now, and the building on the corner was the Naval armory.

What year did GT put in the stands behind the other endzone in that picture?

Not sure, but they were already there (though not in the current form) when I was a freshman in '62

I can't see the picture as I'm " not authorized", but I assume you guys are referring to the old north stands that were all metal. This was added in the summer of 1957 IIRC.
