Re: ESPN's Top 40 Recruiting Classes 2026

ISU, KU, KSU, TTU, OSU, TCU and Baylor had multiple chances to add us to the Big XII. No Sand Aggies, Cowboys, Frogs or Bears please. CO, AZ, ASU, UU are worth thinking about.

Re: UNC going to the SEC?

The tin-foil-hat part of me tells me there is a concerted effort by the B12, SEC, and B1G to kill the ACC ASAP so they can sift thru the fragments and take what they want. There is a lot of talk about how the ACC is the weakest of the 4, even though all objective metrics point to the B12 being the ...

Re: UNC going to the SEC?

I have a hard time believing UNC makes a move to a new conference without Duke. Granted, Duke brings very little to the table in terms of football, but in basketball, it's arguably one of the preeminent rivalries in college sports. I don't see UNC leaving that behind.
SB Nation has a good read on ...

Drop Cuse? Stupid take

The fan base is larger than you think. Only major program in NY.
Way more Football History and Tradition than most ACC schools.

Re: UNC going to the SEC?

If Clemson and FSU couldn't get out, what makes the Heels think they can?
I gather the ACC contracts are pretty strong.
The settlement of the lawsuits pulls the amount paid way down, below 100 million. So even FSU will be able to pay up to leave.

The dal with ESPN is enough to be able to kill ...

Re: See what Rhett Lashlee had to say at ACC Football Kickof

Lashlee is a great ambassador for SMU and speaks well in these spots. Able to speak a little louder this year after 2024 season. Hope we get the respect in the room and in the internal meetings with conference mates.

Re: Memphis tries SMU-like pitch to Big 12, fails

I actually feel bad for Memphis. As Charleston Pony said, they have consistently punched above their weight in football and basketball. They deserve to move up to a power conference.
I feel bad for Tulane, who have won a fair amount and are also a respectable institution in a world-class city ...

Re: See what Rhett Lashlee had to say at ACC Football Kickof

I recorded it & watched our part and a tiny bit of others. I like Lashlee more every time I hear him speak. Now ready for the season to start!
Paul Finebaum has become apoplectic about Lashlee asserting that the ACC in ]its way is as deep as the SEC, which he called top heavy. Finebauk changed the ...

Re: Visiting Memorial Stadium in November? Helpful suggestio

Interesting reading. Thank you!
And to think we have fans of both the old ACC and from newer Northern schools that assert that CA people just are not very nice and have little concern with college sports. It has been limited, but the interactions I've had with Cal Bear fans has given me a positive ...

Re: Five ACC Games that will shape CFP

Some are predicting a big bounce-back for Florida State. Interesting that the Noles aren't featured more on that list.

I think the fact that the 'Noles are pinning their hopes on a very short QB that BC didn't want says a lot about how far they have fallen since Travis got hurt.
Earlier this ...
