Both schools would struggle in SEC Football based on the recent past. <br /><br />I wish people would pay attention to the "recent past" before showing their ignorance. Recent past: 2010. Florida State had solid wins at the end of the season over Florida and South Carolina. So much for "losing every year" to FL.glassblastertoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020132032645365696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-13509235856308940642011-08-14T13:38:46.121-04:002011-08-14T13:38:46.121-04:00Don't want Rutgers or East Carolina!!

How does the ESPN report Florida St. and Clemson are about to leave the ACC when both schools are saying they aren't even thinking about it and an SEC offical is saying they don't want to have anything to do with destroying another conference? How do Clemson and Florida St. fit better in the SEC. Both schools would struggle in SEC Football based on the recent past. I don't blame Texas A&M for wanting to leave the Big 12 (10?).what'sgoingonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752366726398131733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-8440867316887546402011-08-14T09:00:17.354-04:002011-08-14T09:00:17.354-04:00What kind of ACC propaganda piece of junk is this....What kind of ACC propaganda piece of junk is this. You make the ACC sound like the Ivy League, please. A quarter of the universities are on NCAA probation for cheating. Sounds like a bastion of integrity to me. LOL. This sounds like it was released straight from the ACC headquarters. What has happened to journalism in the Charlotte Observer. The ACC was nice 15 years ago but it is a two team basketball conference with a bunch of has been universities tagging along and no football presence at all. Check the records in the BCS games. As far as academics are concerned, these universities aren't interested in academics just making a dollar. Please see UNC Chapel Hill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-30456650743258498972011-08-13T10:32:49.226-04:002011-08-13T10:32:49.226-04:00So what do you think of the report just out on ESP...So what do you think of the report just out on ESPN that Texas AM will announce Monday they are joining the SEC and that it is more likely than not that Florida St, Clemson and Missouri also join to make a 16 team conference. That's the problem with "NC focused" journalists, they can't see the big picture. Clemson and Fl St fit much better in the SEC than the doormat ACC. Talk all you want about "academics" but see how that plays when you keep losing TV money and stronger conferences pick off your top team. I see Va Tech, BC and Miami being very vulnerable to other offers. Of course then you are back to "tobacco road" which is probably what most people that follow the ACC want - how sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-24234770252437544502011-08-13T08:57:21.635-04:002011-08-13T08:57:21.635-04:00You think FSU would be "thumped" by a bu...You think FSU would be "thumped" by a bunch of other SEC football powers-challenged sure, but this years Seminoles squad would likely beat most if not all other SEC teams. <br /><br />Oh, and the Seminoles "thumped" UF last year-remember?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
