ACC discussion thread

[stlnd01]

Actually drove through SC from the coast all the way to Lake Murray via Columbia and barely saw any Clemson stickers on cars, yard signs or flags anywhere. Its like they dont exist as an entity

Funny. I see Clemson stickers all the time on cars in suburban Boston.

Ronan Hanafin getting around town?

McGill to appear on an SEC schedule.

I ran into some fans in 2006 in a rest area around Providence. They were motoring back home after a loss @BC. Weis had just destroyed Penn State and the word looked beautiful.

Yeah, this is ending soon

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Yeah, this is ending soon

The ACC HCs really don't understand how tenuous their position is lmao. If they're not UNC, Miami, and maybe FSU, where do they think ND triggering the downfall of the ACC leaves them??

They come out in full force when Clemson is competing for a national championship. You also have to be in the Upstate. If you're around Columbia, you won't see much Clemson stuff.

Wait till those ACC schools find out the only way they survive in the next iteration of CFB is to simply be used for losses and fill out a schedule.

 

[pumpdog20]

They should kick us out. We deserve to be kicked out and exiled to the Big Ten.

 

[irish2104]

Can we get an summary?

The Nard Dog and Dave Doeren probably don't realize how little their programs matter if the Noles, Tar Heels, and Hurricanes all bolt for greener pastures. I can't even remember the other ND haters in the ACC

I love this so much

Incredible quote. Definitely has Nardouchey written all over it. I'm sure he's less bitter towards ND after we snagged Brewu.

 

[Huntr]

That dude needs to worry more about being unemployed following this season and less about what others are doing.

 

[JD Irish]

Please, please end the stupid ACC agreement, have a real independent schedule again, and rejoin the Big East in basketball.

 

[Dale]

We had similar runs of success under BK, but they never feared BK like they do Freeman.

“They have no skin in the game”

*Loses to Miami costing us the CFP*

If only it was that easy. I hate the ACC agreement as much as anyone, but I don't know how we fill our schedule without being affiliated with a conference. I doubt the Big 10 would allow us to be partial members.

 

[NDPhilly]

24 team playoff is good for our ability to schedule big OOC games and makes true independence more viable... unfortunately.

 

[irish2104]

Why and this year of all years give ND more fuel to want to just hammer the F*** out of the ACC teams it plays this year??

 

[Dale]

Let’s follow the timeline here:

- 12 team playoff
- USC wants out
- 24 team playoff gains steam
- USC has interest in renewing series
- Mediocre ACC coaches now whining


Self serving SOBs

 

[tirishman505]

ESPN and SEC signed their original market-setting deal in 2008 where each school stood to make ~$15 million per year. Two years later the ACC's deal with ESPN netted them around $13 million per school per year. This is was also during the FSU/Clemson's title winning stretch. There was a ton of belief that the ACC was on an ascending path, just slightly behind the SEC and B1G. I'm sure that was Swarbrick's impression when we signed our deal in 2013. But most ACC schools did what with the money? Because they certainly didn't invest in football (outside of Clemson, FSU and Miami). It's the reason the league is going to die, that our schedule sucks and that Clemson and FSU want out. But sure, say that we're the unwanted house guest. That'll make up for it.

 

[JD Irish]

The comment also is nonsensical because:
1. ACC teams sell out their stadiums when ND plays at them; and 2. ACC teams now benefit from conference payouts based on their TV ratings, which are much higher when they play ND.

When they lose to ND, it doesn't affect their conference loss record, either.

If the ACC schools think that they don't benefit from their arrangement with ND, why don't they just end it already?

Also, what is McMurphy's problem with ND?

Fuck Brett McMurphy. His anti-ND bias is impossible to ignore. He's just a sad little Oklahoma State fan and that's really all you need to know about him.

“Notre Dame is the guy that walks in the house, opens the fridge, eats all the food, then (screws) the wife, kicks the dog, doesn’t pay the mortgage and walks out without any skin in the game.”

That's BS. We would NEVER kick the dog.
