Ok so you don't like RPI. How about how many teams a league gets in the NCAA Tournament? The ACC has been fourth over the last 10 years. How about teams in the Sweet 16? The ACC is third over the past 10 years. Final Fours - 3rd. They are tied for the most championships, but depending on What Syracuse, Louisville does next weekend it could be a 3 way tie in that area. So once again how do you view the ACC as the best league. As far as next year Louisville will not be a member of the ACC and by the time they are you may not have UNC and a few other teams. Syracuse is a step up true, but Maryland will be gone and they have won a championship more recently then Pitt or Notre Dame. So I think the days of ACC being the dominant basketball conference are long gone, if they every truly existed.
My reading comprehension is fine. Your arguments are shifting how ever. Here is a direct quote from you. "Going from the best bball conference (ACC) to a mid major bball conference." No where did you say that they will be the best conference, which by the way is still open to debate. Furthermore when I sited RPI you defended the ACC as being the best by discounting RPI. Maybe if you at that point had said you meant you felt that in the future the ACC would be the best you might have a case. However, it seems your story is changing. Also I will repeat we are not sure what the ACC will look like when Louisville is in the league, as UNC may well be in the Big Ten. Syracuse may be on probation, and Notre Dame/Pittsburgh are good regular season teams that exit the NCAA tournaments consistently before many mid majors. So in 2 years the ACC may be the best conference, but right now they aren't, and there is no guarantee they will be.

You embarrass yourself when you state things like this as fact, just because you read it from some random poster on your Friar board does not make it true. You have no clue why he is transferring and neither do I, what I do know is NC State has had 9 transfers since 2010 and 6 transfers in the past year or so. My guess is his transfer has more to do with his coach being a disaster and the NC State program having major problems.
Unlike you I won't get into name calling. The simple fact is you made a statement about the ACC being the best conference. As for reading comprehension you should try it yourself, what I said is your response was about disclaiming RPI, not your saying the ACC was the best based on RPI. The funny thing is if you agreed that the ACC wasn't the best conference all you would have had to say is this "I agree the ACC hasn't been the best conference in the recent past, that I had misunderstood, and that you meant in two years it will be." That is a fairly simple thing to say and then the discussion could have moved on to whether anyone will have any idea what the best conference will look like in two years with the potential changes in basketball conferences that are likely coming down the road. Tell me two years ago would you have been able to predict that the Big East would be what it is going to be next year?
I really wish some of the people here would think before posting.
We need guys with swagger and toughness. Many seasons we seemed to lack guys who'd get in an opponent's face. You can't win with a team of choir boys on the court. I'm sure Ollie will be a good influence off the court.
You are a tool- here is something to consider - make your 27 post your last. I mean really?
But John, don't you understand? He watched some videos on Youtube. That type of analysis is never wrong.
Exactly how I replied on Twitter.
