VS.



Yellow Jackets vs. Demon Deacons. Georgia Tech might have been picked to be here, but WF certainly didn't get any pre-season love. Best season in WF school history.

May not be a sexy match-up, but I'll be driving up from Orlando to check out the game. I'm a big Calvin Johnson fan, so I'm hoping he steps it up for the Championship game, but I'm cheering for Wake. Who ya got?

Georgia Tech - 24
Wake Forest - 31

couldnt care less

12/1/2006 11:51:02 AM

based on my attendance at the university - i will have to go with the deacs...

12/1/2006 11:51:24 AM

OVER/UNDER: 45000 people in the seats. These are two HORRIBLE travelling fanbases and the game last year b/t FSU and VT didn't even sell out.

Give me back my old ACC damn it.. if for nothing else but the bball league. I'm not even going to watch it.. there has to be something better on TV.

12/1/2006 11:52:30 AM

^^No way it sells out, easily under 45,000. I bought my ticket on stubhub for $38 under face, and they are pretty damn good seats.

12/1/2006 11:54:00 AM

heh, the line is only 2.5 but there's no way I see that game being within a fieldgoal.

12/1/2006 11:54:51 AM

I'm pulling for WF, but GT will probably win; all they have to do is defend the run and WF is dead in the water.

At least the game won't last too long, both teams are gonna run the ball like crazy.

12/1/2006 12:08:55 PM

who cares?

A GT friend of mine going down said 28000 tickets are still available.

He also said that the Championship game will probably be moved to Charlotte cause Jacksonville residents are not buying enough tickets (well, Wake and GT, duh). The conference wants Atlanta but the SEC has that locked up until 2009.

Hmm...any guesses on attendance for a future ACC Championship in Charlotte between Miami and Boston College? I say 20000 tops.

Supposedly the ticket sales were pretty bad last year too, even though the game was FSU vs. Miami

12/1/2006 1:02:43 PM

This is a terrible ACC championship game period

12/1/2006 1:34:50 PM

I think GT will pull this one out. Either way, whichever team goes to a BCS game will get DESTROYED again Whats that, 4-5 years in a row?

Is this game on at 1pm?

12/1/2006 1:39:40 PM

PLENTY OF GOOD LOWER LEVELS STILL AVAILABLE!

12/1/2006 1:44:11 PM

well if Rutgers bests WVU this weekend, and Wake wins too, it will be Rutgers vs. Wake Forest in the Orange Bowl. Like the above post, PLENTY OF GOOD LOWERS STILL AVAILABLE! maybe they should move the orange bowl to the QC too


and last year was FSU vs. VT, not Miami

our conference's glorious BCS history:

'99 Fiesta (national championship): Tennessee 23, Florida State 16
'00 Sugar (national championship): Florida State 46, Virginia Tech (Big East) 29
'01 Orange (national championship): Oklahoma 13, Florida State 2
'02 Orange: Florida 56, Maryland 23
'03 Sugar: Georgia 26, Florida State 13
'04 Orange: Miami (Big East) 16, Florida State 14
'05 Sugar: Auburn 16, Virginia Tech 13
'06 Orange: Penn State 26, Florida State 23

So we're 1-7.

(The Mountain West Conference has as many wins in the BCS as the ACC. )

I'll second this. They'll get destroyed in the Orange, but I wouldn't mind Wake Forest winning.

12/1/2006 1:58:09 PM

i hope wake wins just to show furthur proof at how ridiculous the bcs is.

12/1/2006 1:58:53 PM

dont care, not watching it....


actually i might watch, but i still dont care

what time is the game at?

12/1/2006 2:20:47 PM

^1pm ABC

"On a Whole Nother Level"

correct me if I'm wrong but Nother isn't a word, is it?

[Edited on December 1, 2006 at 2:23 PM. Reason : ?]

12/1/2006 2:21:54 PM

GT is gonna get ripped, Reggie ball is fuckin pathetic

i dont know why people honk his horn so much, hes pure garbage, i cant wait to see GT without him at the helm

plus im ready for Wake to hadle their business and do the damn thang, i love what they are doin and after hearing Jim Grobe on the jim rome show...this would be great for the ACC

12/1/2006 2:38:21 PM

WAKE

12/2/2006 12:15:03 PM

Holy shit this is embarassing. There are like 16 people there. The lower level isn't even NEAR full...

12/2/2006 1:10:15 PM

^ haha yea thats pathetic

12/2/2006 1:13:41 PM

HD broadcast is one of the worst Ive ever seen on ABC.

12/2/2006 1:18:14 PM

can't really blame wake though. they only have 3,000-4,000 students over the past several years, so their alumni base is small.

ga tech should've filled that place up though. they've got 20,000 undergrads, and a substantial alumni base. then again, they're a bunch of nerds, so i guess they don't like football.

and the rain isn't any kind of excuse. this is a championship game.

12/2/2006 1:20:07 PM

two fucking nobody schools in the game will do that...the acc must hate that wake forest made it, they dont exactly have a fan base, and GTs isnt huge

wake's defense is blowing ass right now too, lucky for them ball can't pass

[Edited on December 2, 2006 at 1:21 PM. Reason : .]

12/2/2006 1:20:55 PM

wtf is wrong with reggie ball! goddamn he is such a dumbass! that should've been an easy td!!!

12/2/2006 1:21:18 PM

ESPN/ABC really half-assed the production of this game

the intro was lame and the dudes in the booth are awful

i guess i don't blame them, this game is a turd

and calvin johnson was WIDE FUCKING OPEN and probably would have scored, unbelievable that the announcer said he was covered

12/2/2006 1:28:20 PM

Yeah, you got to imagine this team is getting the "C" treatment (ie, the other two games are ranked "A" and "B"), although I think the announce team for this game is the "B" team.

12/2/2006 1:32:11 PM

"Both the Johnsons..."

That's almost as bad as the OSU/UNC game the other night when one of the announcers said, "Penetration gives Carolina trouble"

12/2/2006 1:33:16 PM

GT needs to wear navy blue all the time.

12/2/2006 1:34:38 PM

yeah those jerseys are sweet

12/2/2006 1:45:28 PM

Damn TVU for not having ABC and the ESPNs anymore!

12/2/2006 1:55:16 PM

r u srs?

12/2/2006 1:56:13 PM

this is a fucking joke...the end zones are completely empty. What a crappy crappy ACC championship

12/2/2006 2:02:12 PM

I bet more people are watching the UNC-UK game.

12/2/2006 2:02:40 PM

haha, that's what i've been watching.

12/2/2006 2:10:39 PM

this game has lived up to all its expectations

12/2/2006 2:26:01 PM

only shot for GT is to bench ball and put whoever else in cause he has to be the worst passer i have ever seen

12/2/2006 2:41:25 PM

see i told you, why does everyone think reggie ball is so great, hes done nothing but shit on his team

12/2/2006 2:43:03 PM

^ he definitely lost the georgia game by himself last week

12/2/2006 2:44:17 PM

and it absolutely pissed me the fuck off

12/2/2006 2:44:52 PM

Behold, John Swofford's Grand Vision

12/2/2006 2:45:07 PM

if the fans didnt show up for this game

Jim Grobe is gonna peace the fuck out, I swear

to accomplish all that you did and your fans wont even watch you win an ACC championship, id be like "fuck this"..even on Jim Rome two days ago he left the door open that he is still kinda fielding offers

12/2/2006 2:48:33 PM

dammit spro, i said that first and was about to post it

you go now.
