You do realize that the Big 12 has 10 schools versus the ACC has basically 15. Of coarse they suppose to be better but in reality they are not. You have a lot of terrible teams in the ACC and i mean a lot. The Big 12 has KU in football. In basketball, the BIG 12 is the premier conference from top to bottom. The ACC has UNC and DUKE as their premier schools with a couple of other schools are contenders but not from top to bottom.
If the ACC offered Texas an invitation, would you be excited?
- Thread starter pandarod
- Start date
How long has it been the ACC went 4-0 vs. the SEC on Thanksgiving Weekend?
If you think ACC football is what you say, then you are stupid as a rock.
Yep, last year proved no doubt that Big 12 basketball was best. I mean, the Big 12 totally dominated the NCAA tournament. Right?
Richt is easily the 2nd best coach in UGA history. and the only thing that kept him from being the best UGA coach ever is he never had a Herschel walker to deliver a national championship. Dooley won 1 natty with Walker, and 3 SEC titles with Walker. take out those 3 years, and Richt's UGA career is better than Dooley's.
Which conference are you imaging that has more top end than Notre Dame, Florida State, Clemson, and Miami but doesn't have any low level "filler teams" that you're complaining about.
The SEC is the closest, but even they Vanderbilt, Kentucky, etc. and Tennessee is every bit the "has been" you're accusing ND and Miami of being....in fact much worse.
The Big10 has teams like Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, northwestern, etc.
The Pac12 has teams like Washington State, Cal, and Arizona
I really don't see the huge difference that you seem to try to be pointing out.

Was it the best conference in basketball last year from top to bottom, yes or no? I didn't say the big 12 had the best team in the country but you know damn well it was the best and it's label the best going into this year for basketball
Didn't refer to ND as a has been, I referred to Miami and VA Tech as such. Notre Dame is a football independent and as such is not part of this discussion. Miami, whom you try to portray as a powerhouse is 71-59 over the last 10 years playing in the ACC. VA tech has been average for the last several years as well.
Notre Dame isn't an ACC member for football, but they're affiliated, so if Texas was a member they would have far more games against ND m, and be financially linked.
To your point in Miami, that's like calling Texas a "has been" to, and not considering them relevant or valuable in the conference alignment discussion… Just because they're barely over 500 for the last five or more years
I'm assuming you think everyone should consider Texas relevant in the alignment discussion is despite that fact, right?
Not at all, I was refuting the argument that the ACC's top six, which another poster included Miami as part of, was as good as any top 6 from any other conference.
ACC is closer to us academically, they have three historically successful football programs and some up and comers, it is a more desirable region than the B1G or PAC, and the basketball is superb. Clemson and FSU are perennial powerhouses, Miami used to be, Georgia Tech and Louisville are solid up and comers.
Ideally we would come to the conference with OU to make 16:
South:
-UT, OU, Miami, FSU, Georgia Tech, Clemson, NC State, WF
North:
-Louisville, Duke, UNC, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, VT, Virginia
Looks a whole lot better to me than our steaming pile of sh*t
** However, if we're going to sit around and make up fantasies, I think a merger of the southern ACC schools (Clemson, GT, FSU, Miami and the top B12 schools would be a cooler/more geographically sensible option)

I think Texas needs to go independent in football and join a conference like ACC for all other sports.
The ACC isn't the conference on the verge of collaspe! Stop with all of the "if FSU or Clemson left the ACC..." nonsense. Realistically, the PAC and Big12 should consider a merger of like minded schools and let the remaining chips fall. Btw, with the new network deal the ACC will be on par with the SEC and the B1G and clearly on solid footing as the third power conference.
I dont see anybody caring what you think.... but that doesnt stop you from talking does it?
No, it really doesn't
I tend not to let random handles on the internet have any impact on what I choose to do, especially when I'm right and actually supported by the facts
The fact that it's a free board and what I'm doing is the expressed purposed of the website doesn't hurt either
But facts like these do seem to be really, really tough for you.
Why is that?
Why are you here? So much time on your hands that you can afford to scavenge both ours and Notre Dame's board? Maybe do something productive?
A review of the past 20 years of the teams in the Acc football would provide a more accurate assessment and my guess it would not look very good.
Where did you find the "expressed purpose " in terms and conditions"?
Among so many other things, you don't seem to have a good grasp on the phrase "expressed purpose".
It doesnt bother me at all dealing with facts.... I just dont like you bc you are a troll. Plus you are real selective in what you choose to state as fact.... but why do you care what i think?
Last year, a conference put the most teams ever into the Sweet 16 (6) and tied with the most Elite 8 teams (4) and had the most Ws ever in the NCAA tournament.
Was that the Big 12? If not, and the Big was rated #1, then the Big 12 was overrated.
I think the OP misunderstands the situation ... Texas already has an invitation to join the ACC, just as it has an invitation to join the PAC-12, Big Ten, and the SEC. Every one of those conferences would make room for Texas if it wanted to join.
PushupMan, I asked if Texas fans would be excited to join the ACC if an invitation had been extended. Since no invitation has been extended, I don't think you understood that this was just a friendly question to see how Texas fans felt about a conference change down the road. Although i think Texas and either Notre Dame or Oklahoma would be excellent additions to reach 16 members, I will be content to let events play themselves out.

My question is.......having that many teams in the sweet 16 and Elite 8......did one of those teams WIN the championship? If not then THAT conference had to be over rated.

Calling Miami as has been isnt anywhere near as stupiud as calling Texas a has been. TEXAS has been a blue blood in CFB from the beginning... thats why we are top 3 in wins, bowls, bowl wins etc etc.... Miami wasnt shit until the 80's... and then fell off the planet for a couple decades after that... they are the definition of has beens...
Due to you being a retard domer, with no grip on reality and a severe hard on for Texas, I am not surprised you would fail to see this glaring aspect and flaw to yet another stupid post... Miami is not considered a blue blood in CFB like Texas, etc...
But hey, keep yup the shitty troll job.. you make yourself look stupid... and whats even better is your OWN fanbase thinks you are a tool as well.... but thanks for playing. I look forward to Texas donkey stomping the irish and forcing you to leave this board forever and never come back.
