He also said "to Boston", not to Newton. When you say you are going on vacation to "insert city" are you going to the city right before that city, or to that city? Cinci is #15.
Just you even saying Cinci is the ACC's # 15 makes me sit here shaking my head. I can't even begin to tell you how much that would piss me off.
Actually, it kinds stretches from Long Island, which is NY.....
Screw FSU
Screw FSU!
Screw FSU. You are the one's whose damaged if I recall.
Last reply today: You said you live in the mountains of western NC. That is approaching hillbilly territory my friend. As far as my anger toward you, I don't understand why you come here espousing the greatness of FSU, when they and BC conspired to destroy UConn. To me, anything you say here, deserves the screw FSU response. I am well aware who billybud is and the whole book is a bore, I agree.
In terms of attracting undergrad applicants to the student body (not just athletics recruiting), UConn might have preferred to join the ACC prior to the most recent realignment. UConn wants to attract valedictorians and good students from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and to compete with the likes of Duke, UNC and UVA would have been a boost for getting those students. (From what I understand Duke has a significant portion of its students from NJ, and I imagine UNC and UVA have a similar number, if not by percentage). However, now that the B1G has a mid-atlantic presence with Rutgers, Penn State and MD, it might be a wash.
After Joe Pa, who even cares anymore.
Now Bobby Bowden wants his wins back too

Vacating victories from a team or coach has always been a silly punishment handed down by the NCAA. You simply cannot just erase history, although you can rewrite it. Wins either happen or they do not. They do not vanish from thin air, as the NCAA would like for you to believe. Rarely does the NCAA hand vacated victories back, but that is just what it did last week. The NCAA restored 112 victories stripped from Penn State, 111 of which belonged to former head coach Joe Paterno.
Now Bobby Bowden wants his 12 wins back too.
“I’m all for Joe getting his hundred wins back and me getting my 12 back,” Bowden said to Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi on Monday.
“It always felt like there should be asterisk beside it,” Bowden said, regarding his former title as major college football’s all-time wins leader after Paterno had 111 victories vacated by the NCAA. Bowden, a friend of Paterno for years, has been on record saying he never wanted that title the way it happened. “When I would give a speech and be introduced as the all-time winningest coach, it never felt right to me.”
Now Bowden just wants the record to reflect his true record, which would include 388 all-time wins. Bowden would still be ranked second all-time in major college football coaching victories, but at least the record books would be legitimate.

Like all things, right before it can help UConn.
