ACC Restaurant Sponsors

[HSPORANGE]

I live in Charlotte just like Jeremy and he is right on about Chick-Fil-A. I'm not a fast food type of eater but was always amazed how busy that place is and decided to try it. It is fantastic! Best fast food by far!

Zaxbys>>>>>Chick Fil A. I don't mind Chick Fil A for fast food but never understood the cult like following.

I'm in Opelika, AL for work this week, home to the Auburn Tigers. Restaurant choices are slim, mostly fast food. I've got a Huddle House, Waffle House, DQ, Golden Corral, Jack in the box, Taco Hell and Chipotle. I never want to read again how Syracuse is inferior to these hick backwood college towns.

I ended up @ Kroger to buy a bottle of wine, olives and cheese for dinner. Thankfully lunch was good at a chain by the name of burgerfi, burger ok but fries were solid, handcut and perfectly fried.

I don’t know why people would live here

Edit: Opelika is 8 miles from Auburn, maybe they have a Bojangles there

 

[ClkWrkOrange]

Never tried Cook out.Tried a Bojangles in Savannah and a Mellow Mushroom in Baton Rouge.Both are terrible, wouldn't eat either again.

 

[Toga]

While it's not cheesy greasy pizza I love, I have enjoyed MM on several occasions.

 

[C Bomb]

Bojangles sucks moose balls, mellow mushroom has an eggy/doughy crust, and cook out is what franchising the seasonal/summer- only local burger place that dared to put chili and slaw on their sandwiches would turn out to be.

 

[TexanMark]

Is anyone buying cars from Carolina Ford dealers?

No...but I get Huuuuuge-ah ads in Tampa Bay.

 

[OburgOrange]

Ok. To clarify my previous statements on Mellow Mushroom in other threads. I love their pizza slices during happy hour. They reheat pepperoni slices for you that are thin crust and golden brown, with a crispy bite to it. Delicious. Plus, they have an incredible beer list. Trust me, try it.

AND, if you are ever in Charleston SC, go to Box Car Betty's. There is only 2 of them. They beat Chik fil a and Bojangles all to he77 with their chicken sandwich. No lie

 

[sufandu]

We have all three in Knoxville. I'd take Cookout. It's the best fast food burger I've had, it actually tastes like it came fresh off a grill, and it's cheaper than the well known chains. The fries suck, but the other food options like pulled pork and bbq chicken along with the mikshakes make up for that.

 

[sufandu]

Cookout makes you feel terrible after you eat it but it's great drunk food!

Mellow Mushroom is okay. Nothing to write home about.

Bojangles isn't bad, but I'm picking Chick-Fil-A over Bojangles every time.

I like chik fil a too, but they aren't sponsors of the ACC network games, are they?

Looks interesting...

I've never seen nor do I know much about any of these places outside of muting their commercials during games so I'm just going to continue eating Tully's Tenders.

Wasn't Bojangles the name of the mouse in The Green Mile?

Edit: No, it was Will Ferrell's cat's name in an SNL skit.

 

[Moontan]

Cookout by a bit strictly for the milkshakes. Bojangles is so freaking greasy and mellow Mushroom is marginal pizza at best. Bojangles does serve breakfast all day but the chicken is straight grease.

Mellow Mushroom isn’t that bad. At least they have anchovies. On a recent NYC visit, 4 out of 5 pizza joints did not... I walked out of those.

 

[MSOrange]

I have 't eaten at any of them but watching the commercials on the awful ACC football and basketball broadcasts, I really dislike Mellow Mushroom for their lame advertising campaign. The ads for Bojangles are meh but not as irritating.

I associate MM and Bo with incompetent production and ignorant, poorly prepared Southern dolts. Not good for the.

I haven't seen any ads for Cookout, so they get my vote.

I really hope they replace the third rate directors and announcers ACC fans have to suffer through with Syracuse grads when the crap over the air ACC Network gets replaced with a real network.

It is amazing ACC fans have tolerated such low quality work for so long.

But there were several people complaining about the announcers who WERE Newhouse grads in the early season games.

They were wrong. The Newhouse people knew how to pronounce names.

They knew to keep track of players in foul trouble.

They noticed when a team switched defenses or a player was tired. They talked about the game at hand, not about some ACC coach that retired 10 years ago that they used to coach against.

They apologized when the director fell asleep and missed plays. They apologized when the graphics displayed were wrong.

They cared about the product being presented and were professional.

I remain shocked at how ACC markets are willing to tolerate the low quantity, amateur level production that is synonymous with ACC Network produced basketball and football games. You would think with the excellence ACC sports programs show on the courts and fields, the production of the games would be better.

I hope that when the real ACC Network comes on-line, ESPN makes the call on who is running things. Raycom Sports isn't fit to cover dog shows.

Well now you're giving me flashbacks to Dave Odom. He was horrendous. I was talking about the football announcers from the early season games this year with my initial response.

In general, small and midsize market news production sucks in the south, at least from what I've seen. The south is the land where they don't want to pay for anything, the exception being anything related to football, so anytime someone has talent they move to a better market as soon as they get the opportunity. That has been my experience in Knoxville. I assume similar sized markets are no different.

 

[Toga]

Nana's Soul Food near the Charlotte airport. Oh yes.

It's like a YouTube of an old 'Big East Network' production of a 'Game of the Week' when Providence was at Seton Hall in 1982.

Except there's no hope of seeing Dan Callendrillo go for 30..

I don't see that many football broadcasts from the ACC network, as I go to the home games and usually attend some away games too.

Maybe the production and announcers for ACC network football games are sometimes better than the basketball productions. The ones I have seen have been bad to awful. I really dislike how gutless they are regarding discussing close calls made by the refs.

A lot of them seem terrified to disagree with a call, even when the replays show the call was glowingly wrong. And a lot of them don't even try to hide showing their preference for the more southern team in Syracuse games.

I think sufandu is on to something. The audiences in the Northeast appear to hold sports broadcasts to a higher standard than many people in the core ACC territory do. Syracuse fans probably have the highest standard of any program in the country...

As someone who watches the Olympic sports I will say the coverage has been a lot better on the ACCNetwork after they got rid of Time Warner.

I think the Olympic sports broadcasts are being done by ESPN or personnel hired or provided by the host school.

It is my understanding Raycom still produces the football and basketball games on the over the air ACC Network.

It is my sincere hope that Raycom will no longer be associated with the ACC when the over the air network dies.

I think you are right and it is Newhouse students doing the broadcasts at SU.

1989 called and would like Raycom back.
