ACC discussion thread

[MeanGreenBeans]

Of course, why would you even think that a team jumping ship from a conference would void existing contractual obligations??? What rock do you live under?

Because someone said the ACC just exploded numb nuts. Try to follow the bouncing ball.

You think going off your meds is good because the voice in your head told you that?

Wouldn't they still have to pay a bunch of money though?

The grant of rights is the obstacle. I was also immediately curious how the Congress can pass a bill to change the contract of other parties.

Jeez I know the education situation wasn't great in Coral Gables but this is getting ridiculous.

I'm curious their rationale for this.
Our game last year was a toss-up. This one will be at our place. Neither team is dramatically different from a raw talent perspective than they were a year ago, and we have sorted a lot of things out (to be fair, so have they).
I can see a Miami homer picking Miami to win based on their playoff run, but to act like we have "no shot" seems ungrounded in any reality.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Who cares? They're stupid to rile up what is already a seething beast.

"Ball" will not lie.

Has there ever been a rivalry with more home field advantage than ND-Miami? You have to go back to 1977 to find a road win. And F winspedia for wasting one neuron on the farce known as the 'vacated win.'

Miami won in South Bend in 1984.

But yes, Notre Dame has beaten Miami in Japan more recently than they've beaten them at Miami.

I think Dabo is done after this year. He sounds like a guy that doesn't want to do this anymore.

I hate his shtick.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

I hate his shtick.

Everything about him is corny and annoying. "Bring your own guts" was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. As if someone else might bring your guts? Or you might bring someone else's guts?

 

[OKCDomer23]

I hate his shtick.

He can thank Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, and Brent Venables for most of his success and definitely his 2 nattys. No coincidence how far his program has regressed without these 3.

This is why Jeffrey Dahmer was never a D1 athlete. He thought he could get by with other people's guts.

I'm not sure this is a rivalry. We don't play them every year and have only played them like 27 times since 1955. ND use to play Miami the last game of the season down in Miami.

We went a generation without playing Michigan, twice or thrice, but the rivalry remained. The 1980s intensity was enough in itself for a century of hate.

they convinced themselves that they dominated us in our game last year, which is wild. this seems to be a continuation of that.

Which is wild. We had a first time starting quarterback who ended up playing really well in the second half. If anything, ND dominated themselves by trying to protect Carr with such a conservative gameplan.

Trying to run the ball against that front was hard enough, let alone when they knew it was coming. Once they let Carr cook, we clawed back and almost won. They are absolutely kidding themselves.

I hope we beat them to a pulp in November.

I would include Tony Elliott in there as well, but you're 100% correct.

I am also still not convinced that what they were doing was all squeaky clean. That 2018 team that won the title as loaded. I don't know that they're above suspicion considering it was pre Covid/NIL.

Wasn't there a photo of Kenneth Page holding a huge stack of cash around the time he committed to Clemson? I'm sure that was just an isolated incident.

Yeah. Swinney eventually kicked him off of the team.
