The day we won our inaugural ACC campaign (Dec. 4 2004 at Miami)

In the Orange Bowl, 16-10.

\\We had a nice little run in the Big East, but this let the conference know that we weren't here to take part but were here to take over. And it also justified our selection by the ACC in the crazy expansion drama of 2003.

I consider it the second most important season to Michael Vick's arrival season.
