Just want to know...

How all you geniuses who called us " Coots " for predicting the demise of ACC football feel now?
6 years ago to even suggest the SEC was pulling away from ACC in football, received the "tell em coot" response. You also loved to race about the academics of the ACC and the dumbness of SEC. Who looks stupid now?
Lesson to all. Start being realists and stop sunshine pumping.

In all fairness 6 years ago was 2017. In 2016 the ACC was the best football conference in the country and we won the national championship that year.

Clemson doesn't care about basketball....as evidenced by Brown-L getting 14 years.

No. We were good then. The ACC was already sucking. SEC stadiums had begun to average 80000 in attendance and ACC was barely over half that.
The writing was on the wall.

Gave you good perspective on the mindset for the time you stated. ACC was the best football conference in 2016. SEC was averaging that attendance long before 6 years ago.

Make of it what you will.

ACC was not the best football conference then. You had a perfect storm of events that caused SEC to have only a couple of top 5 teams, but the conference as a whole was much stronger than ACC. The entire top half of the SEC spent more money on football than the top ACC program.

Can you link a post where your prediction was wrong? Otherwise I am calling you a blind squirrel and calling you a coot based on this silly post.

Also note the ACC is still strong and active as a conference so as usual for a coot, the facts dont match your perception.

The ACC is on life support. It is currently #4 football conference. Your failure to perceive reality is an example of why we are chained to a sinking ship.
