Expansion Rumors…

[BuzzCzar]

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.

No, the system couldn't recruit. OL don't wanna chop block all day and it's not good practice for the NFL. WR won't come because we don't pass, etc
It was the system, man, it was stacked against us

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.

Pepper Rogers whooped the dwags twice. Hell, even Bill Curry managed to beat the dwags twice. Ross beat em a couple times, O'Leary beat 'em 3 straight. Johnson beat 'em 3 times in Athens.

Only two coaches in the last half century never beat the dwags even once despite one of them having seven cracks at it.

Nothing screams Atlantic coast like ööööing Utah!

The ACC poaching from the B12 is better than nothing happening. It's survival of the fittest at this point, and anything that hurts the B12 is good for us. For now. Just the way it is.

 

[WracerX]

Probably best realistic case for the ACC considering state politics (NC & VA).

Miami
FSU
GT
Clemson
NCSt
uNC
VT
UVa
WVU
Pitt

All middle of the road or better teams. Decent spread of TV. Marketable hillbilly on hillbilly action. Smaller conference so fewer slices of the pie.

Contraction is probably the best play for the ACC, not expansion.

No Wake?

what we need is a conference portal.

Teams could enter portal by announcing on Twitter: Asking everyone to respect their decision, giving love to the spurned conference, including a bible verse & a hand written signature.

(snip)

Maybe best realistic case for ACC (or something close to this) but the best case for GT is B1G/SEC. Just not sure it's realistic anymore. Should have left with Maryland to secure the future of the GTAA.

UL and Cuse/BC getting screwed here. No real reason to have more than 1 team in NC or VA.

 

[BuzzCzar]

But better bball situation with them imo

Nobody is playing regional football anymore. Expand with quality teams or join the PAC12 and die.

BBall just doesn’t pay the bills.

 

[BeeStorm]

They are gonna need a bigger trophy case.

It’s not going to happen, they are all locked into a GOR just like the ACC’s

Probably better to merge. It would help with scheduling for our newest members and for WV.

 

[aeromech]

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

Nope.

 

[BuzzCzar]

Nope.

Well reasoned! Kudos, sir!

And I for one welcome our conference overlords
