ACC discussion thread

Slap The Sign does that a lot. They write a lot of articles based on like 1 tweet.

Content!

I get it. They're a cheap free site just churning out posts to drive SEO and eyeballs to advertisements. It's a tough business model (and probably no fun for the guy writing three or four a day). But when I find myself reading something there, I often wonder why I bothered.

College ball a little different than the NFL, eh Bill?

Sounds like Tom Yoy's not very imaginative.

I dunno, if we win out I could see us as a potential #4 seed with the lone loss being a Week 1 matchup in Miami with a 3 point loss. I could also see Miami losing a few games between the regular season and ACC championship.

That said, Alabama is certainly questionable at this point unless they turn it around fast. Boise is almost certainly done. It's rather unlikely Clemson gets the #1 seed at this point, but they'll likely be a playoff team and could potentially win it all. Texas Tech is ranked at the moment, so who knows there.

It's paywalled but I don't really see how banning an NFL team from your campus because you've been in a multi-year pissing match with their ownership is supposed to help your players.

Sources: Patriots scouts have been banned at University of North Carolina - The Boston Globe

A UNC source confirmed to the Globe that the ban includes both practices and games and is justified based on how Kraft treated Belichick after firing him following the 2023 season.

Also, I noticed this quote the other day, which is kinda funny, since the general consensus has long been that coaching in the NFL typically comes with a lot less bullshit than college.

“There’s no owner, there’s no owner’s son, there’s no cap, everything that goes with the marketing and everything else, which I’m all for that. But it’s way less of what it was at that level,” Belichick said. “It’s a much more cohesive, and I’d say unified, view of what we’re trying to do and how we’re trying to do it.”

UNC senior running back will 'retire' just 5 games into season

After five games of his redshirt senior season, UNC running back Caleb Hood on Friday announced he would "retire from football," as other players on the team and the UNC-Chapel Hill administration are closing ranks in support of head coach Bill Belichick.

Fuck this conference. Let these poverty schools fend for themselves. Stop propping them up when they screw you over every chance they can.

I was so mad but couldn’t think of anything nasty to say against NC state except, Fuck Jimmy V, and I always liked him.

ACC should probably go fuck themselves. We can join whatever conference we want, they need us to stay relevant, we don't need them
The comments are pretty funny. they're gettin' embarrassed.

I think Dabo may be past it but man, the guy still has the juice

His teams fight hard for him for sure.

Move over, Kirby! Big Bill's in charge, now!

Yeah fuck this stupid conference. We should have let it fall apart. ND is carrying this sorry ass conference and this is the shit they do. Pitt is a glorified G5 school these days that plays in a NFL stadium that only sells out or comes close with us or WVU comes into town. Pitt has had Gameday twice in 20 years, wonder who their opponent was. The last time Miami was relevant the GWOT hadn’t even kicked off. These are some shady ass bitches. “Partners” my ass. We should pull our teams from their sinking ship and seek affiliation with the B1G.

 

[IrishLax]

The funniest part of the "don't take it from us" ... is that they are quoting multiple Miami people in the graphic lmao

 

[greyhammer90]

Feels very short sighted on the ACCs part given the legendary grudges you hear about from ND admin.

 

[Bane]

The fact they're not doing this for the team that actually is leading their conference, Georgia Tech, and never did shit for FSU while they were busy getting left in the cold 2 years ago, makes this shit feel personal. ND gives every team in the ACC their best TV ratings and sells out their stadiums for them.

And they're doing this for a Miami team that is going to lose another game now that they're back to having the slightest expectations on them and even if they somehow make it through and into the playoffs they will get absolutely stomped by someone like Texas Tech. Way to bite the hand that feeds you over a team that no one other than crybaby journalists and the population of the Dade County lockup gives a single fuck about.

 

[allenm5333]

F it. Let's join the Big Ten under the condition that no ACC teams are added

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I cannot wait until Miami loses to Pitt

 

[Irish du Nord]

F it. Let's join the SEC under the condition that no ACC teams are added

Hit em where it hurts.
