ACC doing ACC Things.....

[Hold My Beer]

The most ACC thing ever is 7-5 ACC Champion Duke

I'd cast a vote for John Swofford giving away the store to ESPN in exchange for assuring his son's livelihood at Raycom Sports

Someone needs to clarify if ND counts as ACC game as I don't believe it does

By my count, Miami has 8 ACC games on schedule for '26

Thought entire reason mutually agreeing to drop USCe was Miami needed to add one more conference game

It’s not because we needed to add a ninth game, it’s because USC needed to add a ninth game.

 

[NicKane]

Noles going to the SEC

And we’re going big 10.

This is ******* stupid. Once again, the ACC just doesn't get it.

Exactly. The conference is just dumb and lazy and doesn’t seem to even care about being competitive.

 

[Donny Donowitz]

Hate to be that guy…but the ACC needs to start licking our boots if they want us to remain in this conference. We are currently and will remain under Mario’s watch moving forward the premier program in the conference.

It’s time for them to right the wrongs. Pushing the CFP playoffs for us was a good start, but they needed us in as bad as we wanted in.

 

[Hold My Beer]

And we’re going big 10.

Canes --> B1G and Noles --> SEC

Yeah, most likely scenario by far

Dead man walking gonna do dead man walking things

Dead man walking gonna do dead man walking things

Ha, true. But what was its excuse all those other years then?

 

[Jonnyblaze]

I’m fairly certain the ACC isn’t going to allow us to win it. My conspiracy theory is that our November slump is partly due to the ACC refs ensuring we don’t get to the ACC championship.

Pretty poorly executed conspiracy considering we went 4-1 in November.

Miami needs to add a game too now

I assume 9th ACC game

Elitism

Nepotism

Tobacco Road and first among equals mindset

Ambivalence/Disdain toward football

Mom & Pop Shop approach to a multi-million dollar endeavor

 

[Sandman211]

ACC trying to show their relevance...

 

[Brains]

Exactly. The conference is just dumb and lazy and doesn’t seem to even care about being competitive.

The league should flat out say "you're playing 9 games. That's it. If you have 4 nonconference opponents set, that's your issue."

 

[Cane&Abel]

Absolutely Clueless Conference!!!

We could also tell Jim Phillips to get bent.

What's he gonna do?

 

[caneULM]

Wouldn't surprise me if these people scheduled Miami back-to-back bye weeks before they play their first game. That's how dumb these clowns are.

 

[caneingville]

Pretty poorly executed conspiracy considering we went 4-1 in November.

Not talking about this year.

Just have 8 of the 9 teams play each other and leave BC at 8 since they won't be relevant regardless.

Somehow, ONE of those 9 teams has got to be able to cancel ONE out-of-conference game in order to make this work...

Although, isn't it impossible for 17 teams to play 9 games? Odd numbers and whatnot?
