Yeah, I'm not sure the point of it. I don't "care" about the ACC as a corporate entity or anything, but as long as FSU is in the ACC, I do care about our opponents. I certainly care if Clemson is 6-0 or 0-6 coming into our game.

Would I rather FSU was in the SEC? I think so. Would I be less inclined that way if the ACC had numerous top 10 and top 15 teams all the time? Probably.

But even just from a proximity/culture standpoint the SEC is the better fit, but there is NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT...it's done for the foreseeable future.

It's like someone obsessing about how tall they are. You can hope to make the best of it and find the best clothes you can, etc, or you can just complain about it constantly and refuse to have any joy in life.

I get pissed at some things the ACC does, and especially what they've done in the past. As a fan or as a school you can try to make it a better place that better serves your needs...but that at least implies there is some opportunity there.

To just simply be negative, doom predicting and have shut the door on any possibility of betterment...I'd think someone would move onto more edifying pursuits.

Well fortunately you didn't describe myself, Lou, but thanks for playing. No need to kiss their butt.

Would I rather Florida State be in the SEC too?

Yea, you'd like to trade Florida State for South Carolina. We don't fit your culture, per your own words.

Did you catch those stats you wanted to see re: The Director's Cup?

You post that in the wrong thread, bub?
