So, I watched the game at a sports bar in SF. One of 3-4 sports bars within a 2 block radius. Great scene all day. Lot's of obvious fans - WA, STAN, OR. But also many fans from all around the country.

I am on the ACC bandwagon. Huge upgrade. Great rooting for the conference. Great rooting against the PAC, SEC, B10 and B12. Very different feeling than the final years of the BE. The ACC may now have 4 teams in the top 15. Add Louisville, and it's 5.

I totally enjoyed seeing Stanford crumble. Good for them to deal with a little humility.

Very happy to see Okie lose. Barring a run from Baylor, the B12 is cooked in terms of the National Title. Can't see TT going unbeaten.

But bottom line, it's really cool having 6 good games left on the schedule. (Maybe 5 if you take out Wake.) All of the teams are proud universities with with great fans. This message board will continue to rock - as it has for the last 3 weeks. And if we can get to 6 wins, the bowl season is going to be great as well - with lot's of conference bragging rights stuff.

Then we slide into the meat of the hoops season - and it is going to be epic in the ACC. Best conference by a wide margin.

Sorry Big East. I loved ya. But this is on another level. Goodbye South Florida, UConn, Depaul. Great to be Orange. And it's only going to get better as we build new rivalries. Have a great Sunday everyone.
 
In the old BE the football was good. Miami, VT, Syracuse, WVU, BC, Pitt, but the conference was by design unstable. And at. Made establishing any rivalries and rooting interests very difficult. Having all of these teams (sans WVU) and Louisville in the ACC is great. And eventually we will embrace conference rivalries with NCSt, wake, UNC, Clemson, and all of the old guard ACC teams.

Basketball in the recent BE was the best competition, but again unstable. The ACC basketball will now be the best in the country...not even close.
 
Cactus. Hoping to get an AZ game watch in. Will be in November. So hard with game times not being established.
Basketball on Dec. 3. Indiana game is all set at Half Moon Camelback (now called Windy City). Probably do a Maui game watch also.
Hoping for a Ga Tech win(I will be in Dallas that weekend), and then a Wake game watch if on tv and at a good time. We also have trouble with space as SEC gets lots of fans at bars in AZ.
