Things are getting nasty. The remnants of the big east are developing a growing and growing hatred of all things ACC. I thought it was bad before but with the Pitt and Cuse addition, it's turning into a feud.

Most of them are ridiculous. It takes so much from me not to point out all their grammar problems in their hate fueled rants.

I've seen ridiculous spelled "rediculous" and ludicrous spelled "ludacris" (No, they weren't referring to the rapper). Which is simply ludicrous and ridiculous that adults don't know how to spell common words in the English language. The Grammar Nazi in me can't contain himself.

I'm curious to how this is any different than the Big East getting w/ the Networks on models for expansion. I'm sure the B1G did the same thing as well as the Pac 12.

The difference is Big East school's have an inferiority complex.

I think they (BE fans) assume that there is some malice involved. Part of that comes from the ACC being perceived as more selective and snobby. We (ACC) somehow "took" from them with the intent of weakening them. The ND theory has only strengthened this narrative.

We probably did. They'll never prove it though.

There are all sorts of "loosers" on the expansion board right now. They're rooting like hell for Pitt and Syracuse to "loose" all of our games...

I do like loose fitting shirts when I am cheering on the Orange not to lose the game.
