Bo is a good gunslinging scrambly QB name

E: also he appears to be rocking a bowl cut in his 24/7 photo which in 2017 is the follicle equivalent of throwing a bomb into triple coverage, big fan of this guy already

E2: regular boring rear end white guy haircut in his other pictures, so less in, but still a good name

Kentucky's sold the naming rights to their stadium. It will now be known as Kroger Field.

I think we had a car before years ago too. Maybe around the time they opened that car engineering building on campus.

Good looking car

You think they grabbed Pitt, BC, or Syracuse because of football?

Crotch Bat posted:

They were perpetually behind Miami, VT, and WVU in the conference and usually fought with Pitt, Cuse, etc. for 4th-6th and remember, this is the Big East we're talking about. Their one good year came in 2004 which was the year when VT and Miami already made the leap to the ACC (and both teams were really good and would have wrecked BC that year).

The original shakeup for the ACC was Miami, Cuse, and BC. VT wanted in but votes were 5-4 against (iirc it was Tobacco Road and UVA against with GT, Maryland, Clemson, FSU for). Virginia governor Mark Warner basically strong-armed UVA into flipping their vote and VT replaced Cuse. NCSU votes against BC at the last second and so Miami and VT made the switch first. BC was voted in unanimously a year later once things had calmed down and the league realized they needed 12 to make a conference title game a reality.

That original lineup was "OK get Miami so we can have Miami/FSU title game every year and then get BC/Cuse to expand the footprint of the conference". They had UVA so they didn't need VT even though VT was a clear #2 in the Big East behind Miami and was just years removed from the craziness of Mike Vick.

You shouldn't need to even look to know who the most successful football pickup the ACC has made since the shakeup in 2004 but the only team they've ever picked up because of football has been Miami, not VT or BC or Cuse or Pitt or Louisville. Hence, when ND likely joins in full and they pick another team to match don't expect them to break out the standings in the AAC and pick up whoever is doing best. You might see them make a run at WVU (although WVU may not want to leave), but Cinci or UConn seems to be the most likely picks right now.

I think the No True Southerner contingent of the Bama fanbase is already bent out of shape enough about Arkansas, Aggie, and Mizzou to let in a bunch of sorry carpetbagging race traitors like West Virginia

Their only natural rival comes from statehood not really against the backdrop of cultural differences or similarities. I don't know any non-UGA fans who actually hate GT because they're GT, at best they hate GT because of Paul Johnson, they're very benign I think because nobody can really figure out what to hate. They tried desperately to make a big deal out of VT coming to the ACC because they used to be the only Tech and VT fans just couldn't care until CPJ came on board and I suspect the second he's gone we'll go back to just not caring one way or the other about GT. They're a lovably neutral school who rarely makes enough noise to rouse people to think something about them.

So you're the one other person that knows Orangeburg exists. My grandfather has lived there for as long as I remember (He's 100 now) and I hate going to that town.

Pakled posted:

Yeah, the GT-Clemson rivalry has a lot going for it. Proximity, long history going back to when GT totally hosed Clemson by hiring John Heisman away from them, the urban/rural divide...

I'm still not clear on why a coach can stop an adult and a different university from entering into an agreement with one another. The guy's leaving K State, so why does Snyder get any say in his life at all anymore?
