3 Best Major Sports Moments of last 5 years for Georgia Tech, Virginia, and UNC (scacchoops.com; Jfann)

Recently we had an article discussing how the ACC was in the midst of a golden age for it’s major sports. That piece got me thinking in those major sports – football, baseball, basketball (men’s and women’s) what were the 3 biggest moments for each ACC school the last 4-5 years? We’re going to to take three ACC Schools at time, as we go through all 14 including Notre Dame.

I’m going to stay away from in-conference moments, because I think it’s what you do OOC that enhances your teams and conference national perception. We’ll start things off with Georgia Tech, Virginia and North Carolina.

Best Major Sports Moments of last 5 years.

Georgia Tech

1. Georgia Tech wins Orange Bowl -December 31, 2014

The biggest non-Clemson non-Florida State football moment came from Georgia Tech in 2014 when they beat a top 10 ranked Mississippi State team in the Orange Bowl.

2. #16 Georgia Tech 30 #9 Georgia 24 – November 29, 2014

Before the ACC overtook the SEC as the nation’s best football in 2016 (Ok at least for 1 year), the conference was in a constant battle for football respect. Georgia Tech went to Athens, Georgia and knocked off a top 10 ranked Georgia team in a stunning victory. It’s was the shining star in a 4-0 ACC/SEC rivalry weekend that opened eyes around the country.
