Goodness gracious, can't we get past this thinking from 20-30 yrs ago?

There's little to no place for loyalty in this thing. How loyal has the ACC been to VT thus far? We've most certainly been a giver and not a taker in this relationship, unlike Wake Forest. You remember the Wake AD "representing" Vt on the tourney selection committee a number of years ago. He "forgot' that Vt had 25 freaking wins that year.

Ford is bringing the Bronco back in 2020. Coincidence? ** -- EDGEMAN 01/14/2017 5:44PM

Leave it to UVA to follow an exciting UGA announcement with crap. -- HOO86 01/12/2017 5:59PM

VT has 4 games with Maryland, 2026-29. -- gman86 01/13/2017 11:21AM

With the ACC requirement for 1 P5 game, I bet we'll see more B1G too. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 11:53AM

Might help recruit that area...having a game there? ** -- Stech 01/13/2017 07:34AM

I'd like to restore the Navy series for that. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 11:09AM

Well, we have a 2 game series with Rutgers in 2023 & 2024. -- RJHokie 01/12/2017 6:14PM

Wow! Atlanta must like these ACC v SEC matchups. -- HOO86 01/12/2017 12:28PM

UGA is pulling a top 5 recruiting class (will be true seniors in 2020) ** -- Colonel Jessup 01/13/2017 12:48PM

That CFA bowl at the end of the 98 season was epic -- I85Hokie 01/13/2017 08:57AM

Just a request but could we keep the rivalry off this board (especially -- dallasvt 01/11/2017 11:47AM

Yep. Hoo is da man. ** -- IB4TECH 01/12/2017 5:15PM

That's fair ** -- BROman Hokie 01/11/2017 12:48PM

It's come a long way since Clemson won the last time. -- HOO86 01/10/2017 1:50PM

9 Bowl/Playoff wins and 2 out of 3 Playoff Championships... -- Stech 01/10/2017 12:41AM

Empire State Building lit up in Clemson colors. -- HOO86 01/10/2017 2:15PM

Been impressive, now go to ND and say we don't -- goldendomer 01/10/2017 01:28AM

Domer, are you saying you would like to belong in the ACC? or is it TIC? ** -- moonda 01/12/2017 08:42AM

What I am saying if our admin is content with being mediocre -- goldendomer 01/12/2017 09:50AM

Do you still think ND values independence over winning? -- daveinop 01/13/2017 09:45AM

Coming off a poor year just makes our -- goldendomer 01/13/2017 10:01AM

Seems to me that joining the ACC would help ND football -- VT ChemE 1986 01/12/2017 2:33PM

Then when we get to 16 teams including ND we somehow need to convince -- IV_Hokie12 01/10/2017 09:54AM

Huh? ** -- chuckd4vt 01/11/2017 1:34PM

Why not UVA, GT, possibly UNC and Picture? all have pitifall -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 01/11/2017 09:52AM

Whenever I hear this kind of talk I cringe... it's a little Too Louisville -- obxhokies 01/11/2017 09:07AM

Goodness gracious, can't we get past this thinking from 20-30 yrs ago? -- chuckd4vt 01/11/2017 1:33PM

How loyal has the ACC been to VT thus far? Define loyalty. -- seekoHoG 01/12/2017 12:16PM

Maybe if they didn't have human trash coaching their main rev sports. -- reestuart 01/12/2017 12:09PM

That's probably my biggest "beef" with WF -- EDGEMAN 01/12/2017 05:43AM

Not to mention, in the world of integrity... -- Calamitous 01/12/2017 6:50PM

I agree about WF, but I still hate Louisville. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 01/11/2017 2:35PM

Not about hating Louisville--- it's about... -- obxhokies 01/11/2017 3:02PM

There's no difference between SEC and ACC. See UNC, UM, UofL, Clemson, FSU, -- chuckd4vt 01/12/2017 10:52AM

In what sense??? I'm looking all the way back to the initial break up -- obxhokies 01/12/2017 5:03PM

Those ACC schools have prioritized atheltics at the expense of academic -- chuckd4vt 01/12/2017 6:38PM

Ahhh--- I see where you are coming from -- obxhokies 01/13/2017 01:12AM

Not that the ACC should kick any member out... -- Calamitous 01/11/2017 1:05PM

It would be interesting to know if ESPN has an order. -- HOO86 01/11/2017 8:47PM

If ESPN is rating/paying for them it is about football. Inferiority complex -- Stech 01/12/2017 07:35AM

That's up to Whit Babcock, Tim Sands and current coaches... -- Calamitous 01/12/2017 1:34PM

I will say this when Swofford is done with the TV deals and more expansion -- Stech 01/12/2017 7:16PM

Someone like Mike Aresco would be good for the ACC. -- HOO86 01/12/2017 7:45PM

Didn't think about age with Aresco. He was a great candidate in my mind. ** -- Calamitous 01/12/2017 9:45PM

I think his model resume is the right one. There should be others like him ** -- HOO86 01/13/2017 2:32PM

Don't know that Louisville appreciated that highly -- wwhokie1 01/11/2017 5:32PM

Looks about right lol ** -- obxhokies 01/11/2017 3:03PM

What? If that's truly the ACC's pecking order, they're delusional. -- chuckd4vt 01/11/2017 1:29PM

The honest mistake that most make in looking at Conference Realignment is -- obxhokies 01/11/2017 3:11PM

Nope. Mistake is not making it a bigger factor. Fball's 80% of the money. -- chuckd4vt 01/11/2017 3:48PM

I agree. It just not what really happens. We tend to think -- obxhokies 01/11/2017 4:11PM

Goodness gracious, can't we get past this thinking from 20-30 yrs ago?
