When I heard it I was mad & now here the next day I'm still hot. ND's AD had the nerve, the audacity to get mad at the ACC for promoting Miami for the playoff @ the Irish's expense. Every AD in the ACC should have dialed Pete Bevacqua & tore him a new one.

YOU'RE NOT IN THE ACC FOOTBALL CONFERENCE YOU DOLT!!!!!!!!!!

To borrow from Stephen A, THE UNMITIGATED GALL to claim the relationship received permanent harm because the ACC sought to take care of one of its committed own. Not one of commitment @ their convenience like Notre Dame. The frikkin' nerve!!!!!!!!!

This is another example why the ACC letting the Irish in as a part time member was stupid and short sighted. The Irish are users. They want influence. They want power. With out responsibility. Look @ how they treated the Big East football conference (remember when that was a thing?). They joined the BE for everything but football. And when those schools saw themselves losing power & influence in the football world, did they step up & help their conference brothers? No. They kept their Irish eyes on Irish matters.

And now that the ACC is losing their football influence, anyone from Notre Dame getting the cavalry going? Course not. Let the schools bicker with one another & implode from within.

And it infuriates me!! That the ACC allows themselves to be used like that. The Irish have withheld the best they have to offer while the ACC has given their best to them. They even let them influence them to bring in Stanford & Cal. Two schools that bring nothing to the table as far as monetary media value. But the schools let them in to placate the Irish. They want to act like they run the ACC while doing nothing to address the problems of the ACC.

And now they want to complain when the ACC looked after one of their own? The Irish don't want to be associated w/ACC football, so why would ACC football act like they are associated w/them?????

It's like Notre Dame is some hooker the ACC has been paying & foolishly fell in love with. The ACC actually tried to put a ring on it, & the Irish said they want to continue to see other clients. But hey, the ACC can continue to wine & dine them & buy their rent, lease them a luxury car. And in return, the Irish will give them a little nooky, nooky for their troubles. But now they want to complain that the ACC bought their own kid a new car. The Irish had a chance to take on the ACC's last name, refused, but act like they can tell the ACC how to treat their own kids? Just because the ACC happened to get their kid a better car than hers?

F! U! HO! You ungrateful, privileged, gold-diggin' harlot!

And shame on the ACC for falling in love w/the stripper. I don't care how good the lap dance is, you know the dancer probably has daddy issues, is working to feed an addiction & should be on some kind of psychological drug treatment. You saw what the Irish did to the Big East. They watched them go defunct. And they will gladly siphon off every penny you got & leave you homeless while they are on to the next John.

Lane Kiffin was made for South Bend...................

........What is Antwaan Randle El up to?...........

..........As far as all of the bowl skipping.........I've tried to tell ya the bowls mean nothing. No one starts the season hoping to make it to Hawaii, Jacksonville or San Diego. It's the playoffs, period. Making a bowl game means little on the recruiting trail now. Your best players don't want to risk an injury & their audition for the next level. The fans don't view it as a success. And the rest of the players look at it as a consolation prize, not a reward.

That is why earlier I said the playoff should be expanded and bowls eliminated. In most college team sports, approx 20% of the teams make the playoffs. In football, just 7%. Thirty-two participants gets the percentages more in line with the rest of the NCAA..........

........I don't get Ole Miss' reasoning for not allowing Lane Kiffin to coach the team meshes w/letting his assistants headed to LSU stay on campus. If they were afraid of advertising LSU & their players being recruited by Lane while he was still there, how is that fear not present if Charlie Weis Jr & his assistants are still in Oxford?.............

.......Basketball school doesn't matter.......I've heard UNC football fans say the team hasn't won an ACC title since 1980 because the powers that be are too concerned w/basketball. Indiana won the Big T1e8n, Texas Tech won the Big 12ish, & dook won the ACC. NO MORE EXCUSES!.................

......I'll of course watch, but not one 1st round game in the playoff looks interesting to me. I almost always pull for the underdog. So go JMU & Tulane.........

........Fernando Mendoza might do something @ the next level..........
