Where's the Butthurt Futures market thread when you need it?
Where's the Butthurt Futures market thread when you need it?
I was coming to post this. The schedule hasn't even been released and the bigcry and butthurt levels are through the roof
It's more because there may not be a program I hate from top to bottom (fanbase, coaches, ect) than VT. I hate UGA as well, but most of the time I can at least respect their ability or something. I got nothing nice to say about VT and this just reeks of something that was done to make them happy. VT is the post child of all the öööö the ACC admins and individual programs do that make the conference look bad to the rest of the college football world. To me, the ACC doing anything that makes them happy is a blow to the rest of the conference.
How many of our ACC games will be conference games?
VPI has played 1 Saturday game here since they joined the league. Interestingly, we are 1-0 on Saturday, but 0-4 on Thursday.
2005: L
2007: L
2009: W (Saturday)
2011: L
2013: L
Depends... Is ND an ACC school or not?
No.
Unless we play them in the latter half of October and all of November, as is my understanding of the arrangement.
also when there is a full moon
They have probably been the biggest reason the ACC is looked down upon nationally. Not necessarily their fault - they prioritize conference games at the expense of OOC games (not a terrible strategy), but this has resulted in them owning the ACC (pre-2012) and embarrassing themselves OOC. Their streak of getting pounded by every SEC team ever on the big stage dug us this hole.
We haven't been the poster child for this either with our bowl record, but at least we knocked off Auburn, Auburn, ND, UGA, USC, and MSU in recent years.
And now look, VT is falling back to the wayside and the ACC is surging with top teams that can actually play in the spotlight.
I think we should look at our own ship first and realize that we have been at least as guilty as VPI.
glad the schedule is being released. I have fall planning to do. I wouldn't mind Duke being in Durham on a Thursday night. I plan to be there when we hang infinity points on them.
2 Thursday night home games
