    For once I liked something from Fowler today. His column about the ACC and BCS was right on target. His mention of the 49ers was nice. I don't know if I buy into the fact we "follow the golden rule" or not, but it made the point that engines like the ACC will do whatever they please without regard for other institutions for mega bucks.

    I find it interesting that you blame the ACC when the Big 12 and SEC clearly started all of this. What was the ACC supposed to do?

    Um, well, Swofford could've started by not gutting the Big East, choosing instead to remain the finest basketball leage in the nation. Has the ACC forgotten its roots?

    Excuse me while I shed a single tear for the ACC, the poor helpless victims in this fiasco. What a fucking joke.

    Actually I think it is kinda funny, the acc NC teams have shot themselves in the foot, Miama, VA TECH and BC for B Ball????

    They will not be even close to the best conference rpi wise, and we all know that is what gets you bids, whether you lile it or not.

    That is why Coach K and UNC did not want expansion. The entire acc power has switched to non NC shcools which I think is hilarious

    Never said that we were a victim, fucktard. Just don't want to be getting all the blame for this shit either.

    And you are correct, I have always been against the ACC trying to become an elite football conference by aquisition, but we were kinda forced into that by the freaking BCS. If there had been a true championship, I would have been happy to let FSU and even Tech and Clemson walk.
