Is that what has happened? Seems they really want to attack us lately, old and new members of that conference.

Personally I've seen it from both sides. Although yes the ACC folks are very sensitive lately, in part this stems from the constant media perception of the ACC being the weakest P5 conference. As I explained in another thread us Big East ex-pats in particular can be sensitive given the last 10 years or so. We had an us against the world thing going on. Now we're slowly starting to decompress as we adjust to life in stable conferences.

They are hyper sensitive, but I think it is the few odd posters insisting that the Maryland case will somehow open the gates on ACC defections that really has them jazzed. That and some of them seem to really have a sense of omnipotence about them now that they have survived. Still, I think it is the fact that they and the Big 12 haven't caught a break from rumors since this thing got kicked off 3 years ago. SEC and Big 10 folks enjoy the spectacle and the speculation because we feel safe. Those guys see golden BB's flying everywhere and are always wondering if any of them actually have their name on them. It's really two different worlds. The best thing the commissioners could do for college football right now is get this thing over with for good and if it is over have a joint press conference announcing it. Either way is preferable to the continued drip drip drip of information an innuendo.

They know that H1 isn't around nearly as much as he used to be and they're coordinating their attacks.

I'm almost always without internet and am not willing to fight them on my phone, really sucks I can't help out you and H1, I think we're the most active Big Ten members now.

Hey guys I've noticed 1 new Michigan poster, 1 new Rutgers poster whose first post was just the other day and I know at least 1 more but can't remember who he was for. I welcomed the Rutgers guy and pointed him. Check the names you aren't familiar with in the active viewers list to check for affiliation and PM them. I have to do that for the SEC board all of the time. And for those of you who think I'm bat crazy about realignment stuff, I do like it, but go to the SEC board and check out the number of views and posts on those threads as opposed to regular threads. Every time it starts to get slow there I find some angle to bring up on realignment and the hits and posts roll in. Start some threads here and if you need our guys participation to get something rolling I will encourage them to cross post between the two boards. All of you are welcome to post there as well, including you Sea Blue. Thinking Oklahoma may go someplace beside the Big 10 does not make one a hater H1. You guys take care, JR

Eh, I haven't been keeping up with anything around here lately. Sine all thos cusa guys infested the aac board I get treated like a troll there. This board has always been pretty dead. What little posting I've done has been on the realignment and minor conference boards. What's all the poop with the acc about?

A lot of schools in the ACC and B12 are worried and insecure because they know there is a chance they could be in UConn's shoes if the schools like Texas, OU, KU, FSU, UNC, VT and UVA leave their conferences. So they go a little overboard pumping up their conference and attacking the conferences who are a threat like the B1G.

The B12 and ACC fans go worst after each other since one is probably going to die sooner or later. They both hope it is the other conference and a lot of fans go full retard about the other conference.

As a KU fan, as long as KU has a home (which is pretty certain though not 100%), I no longer care if the B12 dies. We lost several long time rivals to 3 different conferences and the B12 is probably never going to once again be the athletic juggernaut it was before 2010. If KU can find itself in a better conference, great, and if KU can stick with OU and UT somehow it would be even better.

Here's a couple of threads that will get things rolling:

"How the Big 10 and SEC Should Agree to Split the ACC"

"How the PAC, Big 10, and SEC Should Agree to Split the Big 12"

Although never a thread title, these topics creep into just about every conversation on the SEC board, even innocuous threads about a Mizzou recruit or a history lesson from JRsec.

May I have some examples of attacks/trolling? Haven't been around much due to college and stuff. Feel free to either PM me or post examples in this thread.

Honestly, I grew tired of realignment threads in 09. I found it pointless vehemently arguing sh*t I have no control over. Not knocking any of y'all that post over there either. I'd rather debate ACC v B10 in terms of results on the field/bowls.

And on the Maryland issue, I think some of the stuff is to be expected when you got two separate conference's fans looking at the issue at two very different points of view. I stay out of it because I have no control what will happen. Not going to get my blood boiling over it. The Terps are gone, even though I'd love to have them in the ACC. Would've potentially been a nice rivalry. It is what it is.

Ha...

Joking aside, I'd love to see the examples and the mod team will work on fixing these issues.

I mean, we honestly don'tr have an issue with them being defensive, we understand why, we'd just like to know why they think we can do anything about it.

Huh, I hadn't seen this before. It's true I am not around as much as I used to. There are many factors involved in that and most of them have nothing to do with this board or even realignment BUT some of it does and quite frankly dealing with ACC folks on what has become a very ACC centric main board, it just become too much of a chore. It still is to a degree. I don't know if there is much that can be done about it, it is just some kind of a cultural issue. Most of them are impossible to deal with and the hatred isn't towards the ACC, the hatred is towards the Big Ten and it is absolutely irrational.

How the hell can they hate the Big Ten for taking Maryland when their own conference has built itself up from being a relatively inconsequential Southeastern conference into a conference that covers the entire East Coast thanks to poaching another Major Conference until it died?

ACC fans here and ESPECIALLY the new ones from the new schools, they need to either take a good long look at themselves and their conference or they need to be put in check...period.

There's a good deal of SEC hate here too and some of it comes from the top. Just check out the ACC Board's important threads! I go there and read, but seldom post. Some of their drivel about the SEC and Big 10 is not just absurd, but those guys actually believe it. And there is no reasoning with them. Of course I speak in generalities there are more than a few of their posters who are very rational and fun to carry on conversations with. But, it's not just the Big 10 that is reviled. But, remember this H1, the need to start an important thread on SEC bias by ESPN is just a symptom of an inferiority complex and it means that your conference, when hated, is doing something right!

Yeah, I get the whole "take it as a compliment thing" but that does not make it any less annoying or irritating to have fans of schools that have barely left their previous conference, which is now dead, talking trash about how the Big Ten and Maryland are handling their business.

Someone from the ACC camp needs to sit those children down and tell them just how big of hypocrites they are being.

I think Cuseroc and ClairtonPanther are taking it seriously. I stopped one unprovoked insult last night. The board is cleaner than it was a year ago, and while this emerging trend by some of their posters is irritating, I think it will be controlled.

Good, I have thick skin and to some degree thrive on the negativity but most posters don't and it is detrimental to the board as a whole.

They are definitely taking it seriously as am I. It'll calm down soon enough.

H1,

What can I do to squash the perception of this being an ACC Centric board? Not going to say there isn't a ton of ACC fans between the ACC board and CR/Main Board, just that board in general doesn't have a single ACC mod. I take that perception seriously because you're not the first person to make that claim.
