Have you read any other ACC boards?

With the possible exception of CU & FSU, how can anyone possibly think we have anything in common with these whine & cheesers? Regardless of any expansion, or lack thereof, we need out of this relationship with all these yankees, blue bloods, whiners, snobs and a&*holes.
 
From a sports enthusiasm perspective NO
From a student body, school mission YES

The ACC makes sense for us because we are not a comprehensive land grant university.
The ACC doesn't make sense for us because we aren't in North Carolina.

Honestly, if we had stayed in the SEC, our program would most closely resemble Ole Miss.

30 years of wandering in the wilderness longing for the days of a departed head coach and player.

Vaught=Dodd though I don't think they did on the field.
Archie = Pick your star from Tech in the 50's

You know?...Archie Who??
 
Texstinger, if you are not a yankee, a blue-blood, snob, or an #$%hole, what do you call yourself? What is left? A red-neck maybe?

I'm with texstinger; of course, I think I am drinking the same proportion of alchohol that he is at this time:

Anyway: Let's go with the plan: add Miami, Syracuse, and Boston....VT is a "newbie" to the land of true football(they would be nowhere if not for Vick). Anyway, I would not accept them in my own way of thinking unless they refer to themselves as VPI...I don't like a "false tech" in the midst. They are relative newcomers and deserve acceptance only upon certain stipulations: 1. Their nomenclature must accurately portray their history.
 
texstinger, actually most ACC boards are pro expanion, even Duke and UNC. Since most ACC schools are larger and are either primarily or include large liberal arts programs they will almost by definition be more varied in their thinking than Tech. Also it's natural that basketball is the primary sport at most ACC schools, it's what built the conference and what most have been best at historically. Duke and MD are mostly "yankee" schools, especially if you consider MD a yankee state but none of the others are, unless you think anything north of GA is yankee.

BTW, techsamillion, there is probably no way we add Miami, SU and BC. That loses on a 6-3 vote. We either vote for Miami alone, or some combination with VT.
 
What I was trying to say in my own unique inept way was that, with the exception of CU & FSU, I have, for instance, read every ACC board in the middle of college football season and WITHOUT fail they all were talking as much about basketball as football. It kills me what we have done to ourselves.
 
The ACC has always been a basketball conference. Tech, Clemson and FSU are the, so called, red headed stepchildren. Even with expansion, I will continue to feel that way, even though 3 (maybe)teams will join us in being so. I think what scares DOOK and the Tarholes is the fact that by adding these teams, their power over the league gets eroded and Tech, FSU and Clemson, along with Miami and ??, will exert a greater influence over league policy.

How ever will the ACC survive then without consulting caoch K before making a decision?

What a surprise, all of Duke's posters mysteriously post about basketball and not football. Go figure.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Thanx GTfan1147 for the link. I found a post in the Devils Den (Washington Post Story) that said that Miami and Virginia Tech and only Miami and Virginia Tech had been invited to join the ACC in a conference call tonight. Boston College and/or Syracuse was out at least for now.
