Metro Conference

[Notsince1985]

I read somewhere that before we joined the Big East there was talk of us joining the Metro Conference and it becoming a football conference. Anyone else remember this? This was before FSU joined the ACC, when they were in the Metro in the 80s. The Metro would have been:

FSU
Miami
South Carolina
Virginia Tech
Louisville
Southern Miss
East Carolina
Memphis
Tulane
Cincinnati

Looks better than the Big East (for football)

We still would be chasing a conference championship. And also imagine, instead of losing to Virginia, we would have loses to probably southern Miss and East Carolina.

We lost to ECU in 96 and 99 anyway

I think Duke4 was being sarcastic because Butch was coaching when we lost to East Carolina twice.

Negative. He was building the greatest college football team EVER. As for the 64 year old comment, so is Nick Saban.

BRING BACK BUTCH!

Half of our team are now metrosexual Jersey Boys, so this would be fitting.
