The best place to have it the game would be in ATL. Granted the would give the Jacketes an absurd homefield advantage if they made it. Or, how about the ACC invade DAWG Country.

"It would be like WVU losing to Colorado, ECU..."

Gotta disagree with you there. But, then, I don't have the expectation that the team win the conference and a NC every year. I also believe in giving coaches a fair shake. Robinson, Wannstedt, & Willingham all got a fair shake. They didn't produce; it's time to start over. How long has Fisher been with FSU now? Given FSU's improvement over the last couple of years, that's got to be worth another couple of years. Finally, I see no shame in loosing to Cinci, CO, or ECU. So long as the team is playing hard with a no-quit attitude, and they still lose, one should not complain, especially if it's a new HC, OC, and a passel of other new supporting staff in their 1st year. Ya gotta give em a fair chance. JMO.

If Maryland beats FSU (assuming FSU will not have suspended every starter), it is high time we start talking about firing coaches again. Something is seriously wrong if you lose to such low talent teams as Wake, GT, and Maryland in the same season. Once is a fluke, twice perhaps forgiveable given the youth of the team, three times and you sack a coach. Period. It would be like WVU losing to Colorado, ECU, and Cincinatti. Something is wrong with the coaching when you are losing large amounts of the games you should be winning, even if two were in overtime, give stewart one more year to right the ship and then toss him overboard.

WTF are you smoking? Miami improved but I don't think that anyone has any room to clearly say that the ACC champ is going to come from florida. I'm still calling Maryland over Florida St. next week.

Wait a min that was entirely too much to put into that......

Miami looked decent against a good VA Tech team last nite. Tho the game was more of a defensive duel they impressed me. I think we have to realize that the ACC champ will be out of Florida this year.

Tampa isn't J'ville; TB area has a pop of approx 2.5 mil; j'ville I believe is around .7 mil. It may yet be a poor showing, depending on the matchup, and factoring in for brutal ecnomic conditions, but I think most of the more likely combos will result in a near sellout, if not a sell out.

...that's WTF.

GO GATORS!!

I wonder how the other Big 12 teams would have responded if it was set up for Oklahoma and Texas to play every year?

Virginia Tech - Win out or lose to Miami & one Miami loss If VT loses to Miami and Miami takes a loss it will be UNC that goes to the championship game (UNC will only have 2 losses to three). Miami doesn't really need to lose, if they win tonight it becomes UNC's game to lose.

These are nice scenarios, but who really thinks ANYONE in the ACC is going to win out! Win out scenarios in the ACC will only work the last week of the season!

Especially when that "big interstate matchup" (FSU/Miami) happens once every year anyway.

Put the game permanently in Charlotte. When this game is played there, the ACC will see tremendous ticket sales.

Re: The Road to the ACC championship

aVoiceInSC — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:26:54 -0000

Charlotte is in a southern state, and that's where this game should be played every year.

Charlotte is where it belongs now and forever and cold weather is what football is all about. Charlotte is in the heart of ACC country the florida teams are the outcasts. They are good but lets have a game played closer to where the majority of the conference is not where we hope to see this big interstate matchup.

For those complaining about having the championship game in Tampa, I believe most bowl games are held in southern states simply because of the weather. It is the same thing in the NFL. The super bowl is typically in a southern stadium unless they choose a dome.

You mean that seriously major money making multi-million dollar ACC championship game they all wanted to have after grabbing 3 teams from the original Big East? Hmmm, I think the teams might show up. If not, definately the stadium staff.

I think Raymond James is great, but I'm a Buccaneers fan, so I could be biased.
