Expansion Rumors…

[USCJacket]

1980 was a long time ago for a championship, UNC. Don't laugh, NC State, yours was 1979.

Fun fact. NCSU has 1 season in their history with more than 9 wins. 2002 (11-3).NCSU was #10 and 9-0 going into the game against? GT. GT 24 NCSU 17.

People can rip on CCG all they want, but he led GT to some damn big wins. Auburn (2x), Miami (2005), NCSU (2002), Clemson (2004) come to mind.

This. UNC is to the ACC what Texas was to the Big 12 in terms of screwing things up and then looking to bolt and leave everyone else with the mess it created.

Good call. Only difference is, UNC has some hoops MNC’s in their trophy case. What does Texas have?

A Mac Brown national championship.

My favorite memory from that game:

Some Tech fan had printed out "9-1" signs on 8.5x11 paper and brought them to the game to hand out. After the game, a Tech guy was waving one around and an NC State guy came up to him and said "oh yeah, well what's your record?"

The Tech guy's response? "WE'RE 1 AND 0 AGAINST YOU, BABY!"

Perfect.

Totally agree. Except in the early 2000’s the ACC decided to bring in a bunch of hoops schools thanks to Swafford, and here we are.

And before people say expansion was about “football” spare me. Cuse’, BC, Pitt are not exactly football brands anymore. Yes, Pitt has had success under Narduzzi, but overall they play in a 75% empty NFL stadium.

Agreed. Our expansion, done because FSU, Clemson, and GT demanded it, was, I suspect, intentionally done ham handed because Swofford cared 95% about basketball and tolerated football.

So, according to the author, UNC is the prize team who can just pick their destination?

Iowa State AD sees what everyone else does coming down the tracks. Question is, what can the ACC / B12 do to prevent either league from being dismantled like the P12? Best option still seems to be the ACC / B12 combining into 1 to remain a 3rd league in the future.

This article is from Rutgers, and says AAU and media markets matter and that Miami will be #1 choice. No mention of Clemson or FSU.

1. GT
2. Kansas
3. Vanderbilt
4. Tulane
5. South Florida

RIP PAC12

 

[BuzzCzar]

Are Clemson and FSU AAU? That was important to BIG10 at one time but perhaps money is all that matters now.

Do either have lacrosse, soccer and wrestling? Big loves those

Had CCG just won once or twice against UGAY in his tenure here he would have gone down in history as one of our most consistent and solid coaches in GT history.

 

[BuzzCzar]

Yeah, Gailey owned Tuberville

0 losing seasons, but zero titles. Thus the "vanilla" label

Not to start a ball bashing discussion, but if CPJ could have recruited a different style QB, he would probably have had a statue outside the stadium. Nesbitt was too late to save him. Imagine Justin Thomas as the QB for that '06 team. Even Patrick Nix couldn't have blown that year.

Wait, I thought the narrative was that CPJ couldn't recruit. Also Thomas would not have come to GT if Gailey was the coach. He would have just been a DB at Bama.

I was a FOCcer. We were going to win in 2008 anyway. Probably 2009.

We probably would have had another pro style QB after Renfee.
