Memphis vs UCF - AAC title game

[Redding Husky]

That has not been happening since they left Jacksonville! Look it up!

This is the first year anyone has cared about the ACC championship other than friends and family.

 

[HartfordHank]

No, you said go back 15 years and show where it has happened. This was Jacksonville but it happened.

Your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. Hoophound said "I'm not buying these teams don't beat P5s in major bowls. We've been watching it happen almost every year for 15 years. These teams are loaded with speed."

I asked for him to go back and show us where "these teams" have been beating P5 teams for 15 years. Pay attention to details! Please!

Nice of them to announce during OT that their coach is bailing.

So, does that mean that Norvell is going to Fl St.?

 

[Redding Husky]

Per ESPN attendance for that game was 64,808. 88% full. Not sure when your picture was taken!

One year they had $3 tickets.

Please show us when they had $3.00 tickets in Charlotte? Jacksonville was a mistake. They have fixed the mistake.

Was there a receiver in the vicinity when Memphis QB launched the ball OOB late in regulation to avoid a sack?
Don't think that balll got back to the LOS.

 

[ASweet3781]

The fans who claim they love defense must have hated that ending.

 

[ASweet3781]

0-12 to 12-0 in 2 years.

Coaching. You can't teach it.

 

[BlueDogs]

Do we not entertain you?

 

[Exit 4]

Highest scoring conf title game all time! Disgusting!

 

[Redding Husky]

So now another AAC team has to play a "P5" team in a bowl knowing their coach is gone.

We just can't ever get a level playing field.

Money wise P5 is playing a different game. If they want Your coach they're getting him. With more tv money maybe the AAC could do better here.

That's why the whole "P6" thing is a marketing farce.

 

[Dizzy21]

No, I asked for a picture from Charlotte where the game was that empty? Since the game has been moved to Charlotte the attendance has been very good. But feel free to live in the past! Having the game in Jacksonville was a major mistake that was corrected.

TARP much Charlotte?

Those fans sure do look like a tarp to me...

Nope. They will always have more money.

We have screen time. Aresco was right to prioritize screen time.

Right but if you ever want to truly separate from the rest of the G5's you have to be able to pay your top coaches about 3 million. That should ensure you keep your coaches from all but top half P5 schools. That will only come with more media money.

Separate from the rest of the G5 is not too hard and very obtainable, but there will never be a day when an AAC schools can out gun a P5 school financially. Their tv money is bigger, endowments are bigger, boosters are bigger. AAC coaches would only turn down a P5 offer for very extenuating circumstances or if it’s one of the worst programs like Northwestern offering for a hot commodity like Frost. Frost would pass on NW only because they think something better will come next cycle.

The P5 conferences are overpaid by TV and we're underpaid. Should the Big 10 be paid more than the AAC? Yes, maybe 3x more or 4x more. Not 20x more.

Thanks. They couldn't even sell out with $3 tickets.

Tonight will be the first ACC championship game that I'll watch. This year is an aberration.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Last year's game was moved to Orlando from Charlotte as a protest for a law that was passed by the NC legislature.

My bad on stadium location, and the facts are 30% of the Orlando stadium seats were unoccupied (70K capacity). And, news reports and info from a long time Clemson season ticket holder, alum, ex-player mentioned the announced 50K attendance # was padded along with freebies being handed out. As for your purpose in posting on a UConn message, and unclear contribution as a visitor ... ?

If Charlotte gets Clemson of course they get a crowd. Look at a map.

Money talks. That's why Florida St., easily a top 10 program, is looking for a coach.

 

[HartfordHank]

What a contrast to the typical ACC championship game with the stadium in Charlotte half filled.

I assume you noticed the sellout in Charlotte last night?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

We all acknowledged it would be a sellout last night dummy.

You continually ignore pics of Charlotte being tarped in the past for ACCCG’s after you said that never happened.
