[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 937265, member: 844"] I will add to the above. Cremins, like Bobby Ross with his NC in FB, did the previously unthinkable....he made us competitive in a league that was basketball centric. NO ONE thought that we would ever go toe to toe with the likes of Carolina, Duke, Wake, NC State. Before expansion, the league was uber competitive and the drama was compelling. At one time, the ACC tourney had the allure of a Masters golf tourney or a Super Bowl with tickets being as difficult, if not more so, to come by. Before the one and done era, you knew the players on every team and got to see them transform from young, raw freshmen (think Salley and Price) to highly polished veterans as seniors. Some of them were "good guys" like Rodney Rogers or Rodney Monroe and others villains (Hurley, Laettner, almost anyone in a Duke uni). The theater and drama during basketball season was unbeatable and I, like most of my Tech buddies, scheduled around the TV games. Selection weekend was as much a part of my spring season as watching the Masters or turkey hunting on days off. I miss those days but understand the genie is out of the bottle and is not returning. From the last part of Hewitt's regime until now, I bet I have watched 5 or 6 full games on TV. In Cremins' era, I would regularly watch ACC games that did not involve Tech almost as if I were scouting our league rivals. The games against Uga in the Omni were epic. The run we had with Jose and Moses was a small taste of what life was like when CBC was on the sidelines as our coach. [/QUOTE]
