So Tampa gets next years game also. Then Charlotte finally gets a crack at it in 2010. Sure there were two teams that don't travel well, BUT if it was in a central location you'd have tons more fans. The game was the laughing stock of the weekend.

What a disgrace when you see a full dome for the SEC.

It is definitely a disgrace but VT fans are known for traveling well.

12/6/2008 6:08:11 PM

its a 12 hour drive from VT to Tampa.

Tampa was an absolutely HORRID choice for the CG

12/6/2008 6:13:52 PM

yeah, Charlotte is the obvious choice. Decent sized site, good stadium, somewhat central location, "neutral" etc.


although this was a bigger disgrace

what? it was the fucking music played during ALL of the ACC Bball tourney last year... heading to every commercial, coming back from commercials etc. and it got MUCH worse than that, I just couldn't find a clip on Youtube

12/6/2008 6:43:47 PM

Geez, glad i didnt watch any of the tourney last year then. That was the gayest, most pitiful excuse for lead in/out music i have EVER EVER EVER heard. How could anyone think that was a good idea. Someone needs to be fired! /rant

12/6/2008 6:46:02 PM

yeah, when I first saw it I thought it was a joke, but it kept going... and going... and going... day after day.


"REPRESENTIN the ACC!" in a falsetto voice was the worst part

12/6/2008 6:47:50 PM

lol same... glad i managed to miss that

WTF was that video?!?!? I never heard that, thankfully!

12/6/2008 7:31:18 PM

NORTH CAROLINA, FLEET AND RELENTLESS

this really is a fitting song for the ACC. i'm sorry but I can't help but despise everyone in the ACC except us, Clemson, VT, and maybe GT.

12/7/2008 12:50:13 PM

god, as soon as I heard that shit I knew exactly what it was. That shit was terrible last year, but it was only played on the ESPN feed of the ACC-tourney. The normal JP telecasts didn't have it, and you should consider yourself lucky for not being subjected to that bullshit

12/7/2008 6:15:47 PM

Miami has a lot of young talent. They should be pretty good again when the game comes to Charlotte. Never count out FSU either. They almost made it this year. 2010 will be FSU vs Miami.

12/8/2008 12:38:22 PM

that would be fine. i know a lot of Clemson fans that would go to a game if it was close enough. the problem is Florida is a whole day drive, away so unless your team is playing, you ain't going. Charlotte is close enough to major ACC schools that people may drive even if their team isn't playing.

Exactly. I'd go see this years game just to pull against BC. I have friends at Tech that I could go with.

The game being in florida makes no sense at all. The florida team fans will not go see the other schools play b/c they don't give a fuck about the ACC. However, other teams fans will go see anyone else play b/c we're all about some ACC up here.


Plus, there is really only 1 school within reasonable driving distance from Tampa and thats FSU. Miami isn't close to tampa or jacksonville. There are 7 schools within 4 hours of charlotte, and 6 of them are less than 3 hours away. UVA is also within 5 hours I think but I've never made the drive so thats 8. Actually, Atlanta may be w/in 3 hours of charlotte as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Clemson, Wake, VT, NC State, UNC, d00k, and GT.

Point being, it doesn't make any damn sense to have the game down there.

12/8/2008 1:26:35 PM

charlotte is a 3 1/2 hour drive from atlanta, but given how shitty traffic is in atlanta, that only holds true if you leave at noon on a tuesday

To Charlotte:

WF - 1 hour and 15 minutes
Dook and UNC - 2 hours and 10 minutes
Clemson - 2 hours and 20 minutes
NCSU - 2 hours and 30 minutes (I take the back way i.e. 64 to 49, it cuts about 30 miles out)
VT - 2 hours and 50 minutes
GT - 4 hours
UVA - 4 hours and 40 minutes
UMD - 7 hours (it really depends on what time you leave b/c DC/NoVa traffic can really suck sometimes)
FSU - 8 hours and 20 minutes
Miami - 11 hours
BC - 14 hours and 30 minutes

I think a second reason they put it in Florida is because of weather, but that is a stupid reason since every fan base from Clemson through BC is used to colder weather anyway.

12/9/2008 11:31:19 PM

^^^ Glad to see someone else uses the 64-49 Raleigh-Charlotte route.
