FSU vs The ACC

[wfschrec]

We sunk below them, they did not rise to surpass us.

6 of one half dozen of another they still had to win their other games. Both can be true but please enlighten me what was their record like vs BCS conferences prior to receiving the invite? I rest my case. 3 years prior they were humiliated 55-3 to by BC. The money used to hire Edsall and jump to the Big East made them more competitive.

It may (and should) be against SC law for them to use state money for anything connected to athletics. The fact that Texas, Oklahoma, and the Pac-12 schools waited until the expiration of their respective GoRs to move should have been a signal to those dummies to wait, too. Texas and Oklahoma were extremely lucky that the Big XII decided to let them leave early in exchange for the heavy fee. The conference didn't have to do that.

The problem with ambulance chasers is that they believe they are practicing complex law. Bring that mindset into the business world, entertainment world, contracts world, etc., and it is a dangerous thing. Alford thought he was smarter than the thousands of highly skilled attorneys in these very fields and was simply going to bully and wow these same attorneys into submission.


.. and FSU gave Alford an extension...

If Clemson and FSU are actually trying to get out of the ACC with all this frooforaw, they've got to be some of the stupidest people running sports administration. All they had to do was pick up the phone and call Austin, Norman, Seattle, LA (either school), or Eugene and they would have been told "Save your money; don't even think about it." If it was an attempt to get more money for doing well, they sure went about it in a very expensive way, spending a lot of money and a lot of goodwill. It's hard to imagine that they have any allies (even in secret) in what they're doing.

We need the ACC winner to not lose their first playoff game desperately bc Clemson and FSU will embarrass the conference this year. A second team getting a bid is important as well.

I think after the season every school on the fence to potentially leave will think sure the extra money would be nice but getting drilled every week in the SEC/Big Ten isn’t going to be fun.

I want a stat in the paper the total NIL spend.

 

[JarHeadJim]

After week one, Clemson and FSU are 0-3.

 

[crales44]

I guess Florida State is right. They just don't have the resources to compete with financial juggernauts like (checks notes) Boston College and Georgia Tech.

 

[TheCusian]

I'm well aware of your fun fact, and how we fared during that same period. Do you think maybe one had something to do with the other? Is it possible bringing UConn back into the same conference with Syracuse might contribute to the same issues again?

There is no plausible scenario where UConn, Syracuse, Pitt, and Rutgers are all winning P4 football programs. That's even more true now than it was in 2004, and we see how it worked out for us then.

Transfer portal era changes that recruiting dynamic. Less static. It’s possible.

After week one, Clemson and FSU are 0-3.

And the 3 losses were bad losses.

Live look-in at FSU:

 

[pokercuse08]

I accidentally opened this thread to page one and the original post is about FSU calling an emergency meeting of the Board of Trustees. I thought, "Damn, that seems like a bit of an overreaction but this was a dumpster fire of a start!"

 

[CuseFan]

FSU 0-2. Couldn't happen to nicer people !

Tight game and refs have their directives

Gotta love it when the writers start to troll schools for stupid actions.

H0T Takes:

1) FSU sucks this fall. Bad timing on losing half the team to the NFL or portal, not a good recipe for success. Probably shouldn't have filed the lawsuit as they now have no where to go unless the SunBelt will accept them at perhaps a half share (O.K., I added the last line as my commentary)
2) Clemson has failed to develop players and Dabo's stubbornness in refusing to use the portal is showing their respective effects.
3) VATech remains the paper tiger they have always been. (Paraphrased because AA must play nice)
4)Miami may be for real, no really, they may be...unless they Miami ..
4) BC,GATech may compete for the ACC championship.
5) Syracuse may be setting themselves up for a solid season with the soft schedule. O looked good, online was sufficient. D needs work.

I know it’s early but is our schedule really soft looking at the actual conference results so far especially with some very long road trips etc?

I think we will know a lot more by 4 tomorrow.

Notre Dame just announced that it has joined this lawsuit.

Compared to SU's historic tradition of mostly top 10 and top 20 most difficult schedules, yes, this schedule is relatively soft. Though a few unexpected surprises are attempting to get us back on track with history.

 

[RandomGuy]

FSU just lost its 2cnd 4 star commit in as many days... Recruiting ranking dropped to 34.. The lack of resources in the ACC are killing them...lol

 

[HtownOrange]

FL court memo to FSU BoT:

Are you serious? 0-2 losing to Memphis in game 3? You're using the ACC to get out of the GOR? Right now you couldn't buy your way into a DIII conference!

Make this lawsuit go away quickly!

Judge

 

[Forza Azzurri]

At this rate, given that Ohio State’s NIL spend is 20 million for their roster, FSU’s gonna need 2-3 billion to compete.
