Dear ACC

[TexanMark]

Why do we have to play BC and Pitt back to back in friggin late Nov?

Give me Pitt in mid October and throw in a southern ACC school this week. I understand BC is our designated rival so that gets the last week slot.

Kind of enjoy ending the year with our two traditional rivals, but it should be split between home and away.

I'll never like BC on Thanksgiving weekend,

Just adds to my ACC misery.

I found out the ACC backlogs cross-divisional matchups for some dumb reason. It seems the ACC wants the divisional matchups early which makes no sense.

Thus, VPI-BC 2 weeks ago, Clemson-Ga Tech, Miami-FSU last week, Pitt-SU, this week Wake-Duke NC State-North Carolina next week.

I think Pitt should be a mid-season game, but because they are our Coastal rival game this game will continue to be in the last 4 games in the future,

I think that either Pitt or BC should always be our opponent for Homecoming Weekend. It should always be a good game against a traditional foe.

Who wants to see Cupcake College or Football Factory U. for that big weekend? It will usually not be that great a game (for different reasons). The same argument could be made for Parent's Weekend.

Well this year's homecoming was against FSU, it's just that the alumni didn't flock to it. I also heard from some SU alumni local fans that for some crazy reason, SU scheduled some school sponsored reunions and alumni festivities at the same time the football game was going on which makes little sense.

Yep - with family obligations and travel, I will probably never see another SU-BC game in person.

Really wish Pitt and BC games were 1.) alternating home/away so that we didn't play both at home or on the road the same year. 2.) Really, really, really wish BC game was NOT on Thanksgiving weekend (sometime in October-early, so we could go to both home and away games that would increase interest in "rival game").

My feelings also...but, the ACC wants to promote a rivalry game in the last week of the regular season.

Florida State, Clemson, Louisville-Atlantic
Georgia Tech-Coastal

all play SEC teams Thanksgiving weekend.

The 4 NC schools UNC-Duke, Wake-NC State or UNC-NC State, Wake-Duke will always play each other Thanksgiving weekend.
Virginia-Virginia Tech have always been Thanksgiving week rivals.

That leaves Syracuse, Boston College from the Atlantic, and Pittsburgh, Miami from the Coastal.

We are stuck with BC-SU and Pitt-Miami being Thanksgiving rivals unless divisions are realigned.

Or until we schedule Rutgers as our Thanksgiving rival.

Unless Penn State-Pitt became Thanksgiving rivals the Big ten won't let one team be forced to have a bye week during that weekend.
Syracuse-BC is going to remain for a while.

So then Penn State and Pitt become Thanksgiving rivals. It's all coming together. Everyone plays their P5 rival on Thanksgiving weekend.

How about we take on Rutgirls and make this a ACC, Big Ten (that can't count to 14) thing!
