[QUOTE="mempheel, post: 20290, member: 1171"]
Don't worry about the Peckers (or many of my fellow Tar Heels for that matter): some folks are pretty surly these days, but they'll get over it.  We're close enough to SEC country that we look at the green grass at places like Tuscaloosa, Athens, Gainesville, etc and wonder why our lawns don't seem quite that pretty.  We've also grown up w/ echoes of the "Old Southern Conference" (precursor of both ACC & SEC), which was an early twentieth century "super-conference" that included all of the major players in the South under one big tent.  Many of those who are infatuated w/ Southern FB don't get excited at the idea of expanding the ACC further into Yankee country.

The logic of the move won't register with these people until they see the $$$ that's generated by a TRUE Atlantic Coast Conference that stretches from the tip of Florida to Massachusetts, and they figure out that a bunch of solid programs don't have a seat at the table when the music stops.
