Still can't believe some of the posts from UL message boards

saying how thankful they are to now be in the ACC. Strange to see such thankfulness among one of our schools.
They really are in a honeymoon stage with the conference. Maybe it's primarily basketball driven.
But belive me UL, you'll get the Swoffy treatment sooner rather than later in scheduling, refereeing, amateur TV broadcasts and other inequalities.

Yeah, and look how we just trampled in the game on Saturday. Without a heroic
stand by our D, they win the game. So what's to brag about??

You obviously can't tolerate differing opinions. This seems to violate the very
spirit of the board, which respects differing opinions. Have you considered re-locating
to North Korea? Give it your best shot.

I wanted to link the comments and let people discover the validation of our fanbase themselves.
But it is the same story from every visiting fanbase. The biggest difference I saw was the gratitude to now be in the ACC.

So, they are not competitive in football? Then who was that we played on
Saturday---that almost beat us?

When the alternative is the AAC or other non-Power 5 for foosball then the ACC is sexy as all get up!
As Clemson fans we get a little hemorrhoidal pain because of tobacco road politics but politics exist everywhere. LSU routinely gets the shaft from Birmingham.
I'm happy Clemson is in the ACC and not the SEC. As far as Louisville goes, things worked out well for them. They get to hang out with a bunch of their old Big East buddies and they get some new geographic rivals.
And unlike WVU they don't have to fly across the country for their away games.

mention of the conference in the ACC. Among SEC schools, it is hard to find a post that doesn't reference the conference in every post.

right to being the most dominant team over the last 6+/- years and 3 NC's, the conference having the NC is all they have to stand on.....and ESecPn. I met a 65-70 year old Bama fan about two weeks ago. So I asked him, "Do you cheer for Bama, or do you chant SEC?" He said, "Do you pull for Clemson or Virginia?" I said, "That's what I thought." Really cool guy. Anyways, you pull for a conference when you have no individual accomplishments of your own.

You don't know what you have until it's gone. How would you guys feel if tomorrow your school suddenly joined CUSA. That's how Louisville felt last year after the Big East went up in smoke. The ACC not only saved us, but we are better off here than we ever were in the BE. We couldn't be happier.

as I said in the OP, beware of getting Swoffy'd.
UL is in particular peril of gettign sic'd upon with the low APR and innordinate amount of JuCo, transfer and prep-school players.
As soon as you infringe on Tobaccy Road, you'll be screwed.

be fine. The only exception is every 25 year or so cycle when football becomes respectable. Then, don't beat them in football either. Fortunately, they don't stay good very long in football.

Louisville fans on all the boards are trying to compliment us in every way possible. You come back with the biggest slam you could generate. Very unnecessary & low IMO. I hereby apologize for your post. I let my sons have my tickets for the game. They met quite a few Louisville fans & reported that they were great. Many years ago I spent 2 years at Fort Knox. Back then I thought that you couldn't find any better people than those in the Louisville area. Apparently, they haven't changed.

Earlier this week I was Jaques Strapping it on their board, thinking they were a bunch of hillbilly jerks like the UK fans, but they're not. So glad to have them instead of the twerps.
