ACC Schedule Model Released - Includes Miami @ Clemson

[Donny Donowitz]

Precisely.

Thanks for responding...I wanted to make sure I wasn't looking at things wrong.

ND is about to get exposed in the ACC...i'm actually surprised they went along with this.

 

[JD08]

So are the noles playing 12 games or 11 and their ooc is WVU

I'd think UF would be their first choice.

Unless we could trade them for Temple.

 

[Scrape into the C Gap]

A couple days ago there was a thread where everyone wanted to play nd AND Clemson, excited af.. Of course real life schedule comes out and now ya *****ing about ACC screwed us, Schedule hard af, panties in a bunch, etc.. WTF..

Get it together!! Who else did ya think they were gonna fill the schedule with?! Its an all ACC schedule!

So true. I think the fanbase has PTSD. Can’t blame them either. Mine pops up from time to time.

 

[Donny Donowitz]

Is it based on how much NBC makes or a fixed $15 million per year? If it's fixed, NBC will be laughing to the bank.

I think it will have to bring in more...there's no way all ACC teams including us would be ok with chump change. Then again I believe this will hurt ND because they will get railroaded by a few ACC teams this year IMO

 

[BloodEunsOrangeAndGreen]

So we get selected to travel to Clemson. They got to protect them.
They want ND vs Clemson for the championship game

wasn’t our last game at clemson? How do they get another home game?

We played them at home in 2015 — the infamous blowout that got Folden fired.

 

[bdcane4eva]

**** this fan base...we SHOULD have this kind of schedule.
don't you get that the players (and croots) get hyped for big games?

 

[CanesNY26]

Where do we set the over/under? 6.5?

6.5 isn’t bad, but I think it’s gotta be 7.5 and if Manny doesn’t hit the over there’s a better than 50% chance he’s out.

 

[dodaniels]

of course

Last time we played Clemson in the regular season was a home game (Al Golden last game).

 

[Rellyrell]

Manny & Lashlee is getting an opportunity to prove their worth.

 

[Canestennis]

Would not be shocked if during negotiations ND said something to the effect of "we're not playing Miami".

Well, Va Tech down one of their corners

Call me crazy, but I just don’t see any Canes opting out. Too much too prove

 

[TheRichtShow]

Entire season depends on King staying healthy for us. If he does, only Clemson is really head and shoulders above us.

We definitely have one of the more difficult ACC schedules, but I'm glad we don't play Duke or BC. Duke is a game where it's always bad if we lose and nobody cares if we win (because it's Duke). And if we had BC I guarantee the ACC would make it a road game in November when its 30 degrees up there.

 

[skyman]

FSU is not bad.... GT, Duke, Pitt, UVA, Louisville, meh

They play clemson, ND, Miami, and UNC

 

[TheRichtShow]

Agree. Maybe some do but I think our guys really want to play and so many of them have NFL futures on the line that it's hard to see it being much of an issue for us

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

8-2 will be a great conference record in this climate, but still might not make it to Charlotte. 7-3 IMO has zero chance unless these teams just chew each other up

Its the ACC. They will.

 

[TexasCane90]

Cash cow how? TV would love it, yes. May not have fans, though.

They can’t sell lot spaces outside for tailgaters?

 

[Baby Z]

People getting worked up for no reason. There won't be football in the fall. But I appreciate the humor. It's good for a laugh.

 

[ThomasM]

Manny & Lashlee is getting an opportunity to prove their worth.

I think Lashlee has proven a lot as an OC. My only, only concern is if he can make chicken salad out of the chicken crap we saw last year. Bringing in King helps a TON, but if the team lacks discipline and heart, Lashlee and King will struggle to get results. We need the guys that have been vacationing for years to step up, not just King and Lashlee.

Thanks for the negativity, dvckface

Thanks for the negativity, dvckface

Use your words. Breath. It has nothing to do with negativity. It's about being realistic and understanding what's happening. But tip of the hat to you.
