America The Beautiful Conference

Looking at some things this morning.....

Some think that NC State flipped their vote over an agreement with Cal and Stanford to support their entry into the AAU in exchange for their vote to join the ACC.

Notre Dame is the big winner as they get more money in exchange for a game they already play each year. That also means every other ACC school plays Notre Dame fewer times as the Stanford game will now count as part of their ACC obligation. Know what year most schools in the ACC see an increase in the number of season tickets they sell.......the year they play Notre Dame at home.
 
If you watched last night's game, you can see why FSU wants out ot the ACC. 80% of the crowd in the sold out Camping World stadium were FSU fans. And they were LOUD.

Can Georgia Tech do that? Wake Forest Duke? BC? Louisville? Other than maybe Clemson, can anyone else in the ACC do that?

Fact is . . . FSU really belongs in the SEC. I'm sure that Bama, Auburn, Florida and ugag amog others would really hate that, as they already poach a ton of croots from FSU's backyard and adding FSU won't make that any easier (conversely, adding schools from the Texas area makes it easier for the SEC to poach from there). In a sane world, FSU and USC(e) would swap conferences. But clearly we aren't in a sane word, and it's getting less sane all the time.

We have done it and we can do it. But most of our fans want to fixate on program negatives. We are probably the most pessimistic fan base in college.

öööö off with these comparisons to Duke, Wake, and BC. GT fans have been through the worst run in program history under the worst coach in program history. And even then our attendance numbers are still high than Duke and Wake, at respective highs for their programs.

It wasn’t that long ago FSU was struggling to sell tickets to home games under some bad runs themselves. And now they’re selling tickets now that they’re a top 10 program playing against a top 10 opponent? No öööö their fans are hyped. You’re making it more than it is.

Yea, they played Maryland, I believe, at Doak one season in front of about 45k, IIRC. GT fans accounted for probably 80% of the crowd Friday.

Yes, GT can do that. But we can’t do it with uninteresting matchups and we won’t do it immediately after a clown coach. And as recently demonstrated, neither can FSU.

Doak was as sparse as I’ve seen it at the GT game down there last year.
