Not at all surprising.

This is the kinda post that makes me cringe. Let’s say—just for the sake of argument—that UM wins. Will that diminish your view of the B1G and elevate your view of the ACC? My guess is no. To be clear, I do not expect UM to win. But I’m also not willing to buy into your arguments about how...

Indiana looks damn good. But Oregon has been shell shocked since the first snap, and apparently has numerous players out. I expect IU to beat Miami, but the canes will at least make it competitive.

Ok, so let’s put this conversation to bed regarding Miami vs UNC. This really isn’t a convo worth continuing. You and I are on the same side.

I think there are a shitload of UNC fans, grads, and administrators who are currently fans and facilitators of the Trump admin. So I think this is kind of a worthless convo to get wrapped up in. But you do you.

Ok, cool. We’re blending politics with ACC fandom. Yeah you should go to bed. We’ll pick this up when you’re sober.

Cool. Good talk.

I point to the conference bowl record and head-to-head games against other conferences. I know there are folks who devalue those metrics, but I’m not sure exactly how or why. Bottom line is that the ACC isn’t as shitty as most folks here pretend. At least for this season, and for UM and other...

We’re fucked no matter what. The only hope we have of surviving the next decade or so as a country is hope that those non-partisan voters come to realize how fucked up the MAGA/NAZI platform is

Cool. Good talk.

Fair enough. I hope you at least listened to Cristobal pimping the conference in the post-game interviews. Pretty sure Miami is safe no matter what happens in the conference wars; I was happy that he stood up for the ACC and noted the strength of the conference.

I’m not sure what that looks like, at least in the short term. imo, we have a pretty finite window within which to effect change. For now, it means flipping a handful of R legislators to D. Once we get over that hump, then we can discuss long term change.

To be fair, that’s pretty far down the list. If that’s the first thing I lost you at, I consider it a win. 😆

Given this year in a vacuum, I take my view. I think there’s a lot of room for the conference to grow from here, provided the base that has now been laid. I don’t see UM receeding into the shadows after this. I think UVA and VT are now set up for success. I think UNC can potentially be in this...

Thanks. And to be fair, I do hope this dispels at least a bit of the myth surrounding the ACC. SMU and Louisville—the 2 ACC teams Miami lost to—both won their bowl games. Say what you will about the viability of judging conferences based on bowl performance, but I think this season should be...
