What's this?

We all have our moments. I sure have and probably will again.

It just felt like he was confusing you for Chuckd4vt (ha ha).

To your point about OSU, they are in the mix year after year. Not even FSU is that consistent. Right now, Clemson looks to be like OSU, but who knows if Clemson can keep that up for 10 more years.

Unfortunately, the SEC is the only conference to really be in a position to brag with UT, LSU, UF, Bama and Auburn winning the majority of Nattys in the last 20 years.

51 million -- PadrosWindup 06/23/2018 7:16PM

Those are insane numbers. The ACC Network it's still a big unknown -- wwhokie1 06/27/2018 10:46AM

Yeah, I dropped to DirecTV Now, and I still get the sports channels. -- reestuart 06/27/2018 6:56PM

Exact reason Fox and Disney threw hundreds of millions at the B1G RECENTLY. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:53PM

Yep. ** -- reestuart 06/27/2018 10:50PM

FSU AD once gave an encouraging number. Whit seems rather skeptical. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:57PM

That guy is extremely gullible, IMO ** -- Colonel Jessup 06/27/2018 8:31PM

Not sure if gullible or just telling BOV and donors what they want to hear -- GetmBud 06/28/2018 09:36AM

I think it's insane that there aren't even guestimates as to how much -- reestuart 06/29/2018 09:09AM

52 million next fiscal cycle....and -- nebraskafaninwi 06/23/2018 11:28PM

All that $$ & 1st Conf. Channel...1 Football Nat Champ in 15 years! Why? ** -- Stech 06/26/2018 6:14PM

Not necessarily money, but money spent wisely -- gmuhokie 06/28/2018 4:40PM

Exactly, kudos for earning the $$, but 11 yrs after launch, 1 Nat Ftbl Cham -- Stech 06/29/2018 07:31AM

Absolutely, I would say with diminished markets, its more critical -- Mercury 06/29/2018 8:13PM

Cause there's a competent & trustworthy person running the show. ACC don't -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:49PM

So the other 13 programs in the conference can afford to keep their coach, -- reestuart 06/26/2018 6:32PM

Yep. Leagues are to maximize profits and provide schedules. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:51PM

Yep. FSU just lost their coach to a lesser program. -- reestuart 06/27/2018 4:30PM

Yeah, FSU "lost" their coach, but most fans glad to see him go. Jimbo was -- seekoHoG 06/27/2018 7:25PM

Problem always was: SEC schools (LSU and A&M) could easily outbid FSU. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:18PM

Yep, but you never know when you will buy a pig in a poke. Those schools -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 9:57PM

So, what happens when "things don't work out" at schools w/out extra dough? -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:22PM

I don't think they're sad to see him leave, but the biggest issue with him -- reestuart 06/27/2018 7:52PM

Nice dodge...how come 1 National Championship in 15 yrs with all that $$? -- Stech 06/26/2018 7:00PM

The HS talent needed to win Championships isn't in the MidWest. -- HOO86 06/27/2018 5:13PM

This is true. The best high school talent has migrated to the southern -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 5:26PM

So you guys think money is not as important as location? ** -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:31PM

No, but the Midwest football talent has declined and the Big Ten has to -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 7:38PM

The recruits don't get money. They want location. -- HOO86 06/27/2018 7:37PM

SEC (& UNC) recruits get $$$$$ -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2018 09:37AM

Texas made some bad administrative decisions and bad coaching hires. -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 7:42PM

Gallop surveyed over a million & by far the #1 thing n turnover is the boss -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:50PM

IMO Jimbo is out of his comfort zone at A&M. I will be surprised if he -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 8:04PM

Tangible reasons why? -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:32PM

Perhaps, but A&M hasn’t proved it can master the SEC yet. And if Texas -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 10:41PM

WHAT? They won 11 games out of the gate. They've won 9, 8, 8, and 8 since. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 11:00PM

We shall see...... ** -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 11:02PM

I think Jimbo is going to be a spectacular flop at aTm. ** -- reestuart 06/27/2018 7:58PM

Conferences don't win championships -- 33laszlo99 06/26/2018 8:51PM

Teams from conferences win national championships, if the money matters how -- Stech 06/26/2018 9:02PM

It’s about the other schools in the conference. -- reestuart 06/26/2018 11:10PM

For you it was, but that wasn't my question. The post was to talk about my -- Stech 06/27/2018 07:10AM

Then why did you even bring up championships? That doesn't have a thing -- reestuart 06/27/2018 08:18AM

And VT would trade $20 million for a Clemson or FSU Natty any day. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:57PM

So conference expansion is only about getting championships -- reestuart 06/26/2018 7:11PM

Again why 1 Football National Championship in 15 years? Just answer that 1, -- Stech 06/26/2018 7:11PM

Because nobody in that conference has been good enough? -- reestuart 06/26/2018 7:57PM

The ? for some reason makes you want to talk about something else, so I’ll -- Stech 06/26/2018 8:07PM

Lol. I gave you the answer. This board doesn’t have a thing -- reestuart 06/26/2018 8:37PM

The question was about the B1G they are a conference...oh forget it. ** -- Stech 06/26/2018 8:53PM

I get your point Stech. What's up with the snarkiness against reestuart? -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 10:54PM

He's consistently rude to anyone who questions Swofford and ACC leaddership -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 6:47PM

Stech’s a good guy. I just don’t get what he’s trying to prove. -- reestuart 06/26/2018 11:05PM

Check out the discussion with HOO86 and RJHokie & that's where I was going. ** -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:44PM

We all have our moments. I sure have and probably will again. -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 11:20PM

It was because I wanted to have a different discussion. See the discussion -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:52PM

And here comes Georgia ** -- 33laszlo99 06/26/2018 11:42PM

Yup. A lot of CFB power in 4 neighboring states (FL, GA, SC & AL) -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 11:57PM

Yeah, I certainly get what Stech is saying. But that’s not the point here. ** -- reestuart 06/26/2018 11:41PM

Coaching, recruiting and the whims of folks that are mostly in the 18 to -- RJHokie 06/26/2018 7:23PM

I agree with you on Saban. Money wise and Channel wise the B1G has had the -- Stech 06/26/2018 7:43PM

It's odd that you think the ACC won those championships ** -- 33laszlo99 06/27/2018 2:03PM

Yep. VT surely didn't benefit from them ** -- reestuart 06/27/2018 4:31PM

VT would trade any FSU, Clemson, UNC, or Duke titles for an extra 20 mill. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:29PM

I think it is, but money can’t do it all. You would think McChicken and -- RJHokie 06/26/2018 7:50PM

Good perspective! The B1G should be rolling in football, basketball Natty’s -- Stech 06/26/2018 8:11PM

What's the ACC's? 60% of that? -- Old Line Hokie 06/23/2018 7:39PM

Delany is a very savvy business man... -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 11:12PM

Yep, and the Big Ten has enough star power to stay right at the top of -- reestuart 06/27/2018 08:24AM

To Old Line's point... -- Calamitous 06/27/2018 10:34PM

So ACC Network is a gold mine? -- Colonel Jessup 06/26/2018 12:00AM

Agree with the "divide" comment.... -- Old Line Hokie 06/26/2018 11:04AM

Agreed ** -- Colonel Jessup 06/26/2018 7:08PM

Better than nothing! Wait. That’s what the network has paid. Carry on. ** -- reestuart 06/25/2018 7:53PM
