[QUOTE="Jazzchaz, post: 871569, member: 3823"] I'd be rich if I had a dollar for how many times I've heard the media say the ACC was 'weak' this year. The swollen head Big Ten fans buy into the hype for their conference. I suppose the truth is that they have so many fans that the NCAA and the media will do anything to keep them watching. I think it's always been like that hasn't it? In football as well. Tech goes 12-0 in 1952 and the AP votes 9-0 soon to be Big Ten Michigan State #1...and the AP has never voted Tech #1. But back to this year's NCAA's. How many times have I heard some of you say 'the NCAA probably wouldn't pick Tech if they have a losing conference record'. Well, 9-11 Indiana made it into the tournament and 13-7 Wake Forest is left out. I guess that was because the ACC is 'weak'. So let's see, the SEC('better than the ACC') gets six teams in. They've got one team left. The ACC would have only had four teams in except VPI's tournament win gave us five teams...and we have THREE teams left. As for the mighty Big Ten, they 'deserved' NINE teams in the NCAA's and how many are left? ZERO! Yes, I know that some years they do pretty well. Let's look briefly at 2021. It looks like the SEC got six teams in, the ACC got seven teams in, and the Big Ten got nine teams selected, including two with losing conference records. Well, each conference had one team in the Elite Eight. Knowing our conference was obviously stronger than billed is not much comfort for Tech fans. But as disappointing our season was, with a go to scorer in the final minute of games, how many more victories would we have had? Syracuse for sure. Notre Dame? Wisconsin? At Clemson that horrible flop charge killed us. I've attended every home game(I've been allowed to attend) for a number of years now. I sit low in the corner between the band/cheerleaders and the students. There's no place else I'd rather be. But I miss the players not walking around and giving high fives to the band and student section after a win. Well that's my vent for the season. Let's get a few transfers and bring on 2022-2023!
