I'm not sure where all the hostility is coming from, friend-o.

Did I miss something? Did I insult your mother, or your dog? Are you employed by ESPN and/or the SEC? Or, did you miss something - like that I'm clearly not some ACC apologist. You can check my post history and quickly deduce exactly where I stand when it comes to the ACC, and VT's future as a member of it. I think maybe you should calm down, take some deep breaths, take your blood pressure medicine, and have a nap, before you give yourself a stroke. Nobody wants to see any of the veins in your forehead pop open and spray acid everywhere. And, frankly, I'm not missing a key point at all. I assure you that I'm not some slobbering mouth breather. I clearly understand why they decide to put who they decide to put in those time slots. But it's a pretty obvious fallacy to then turn around and say, "SEE? LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! WE WERE RIGHT! MORE PEOPLE WATCH THE SEC THAN THE ACC!" Yeah, no kidding, of course they do, you put one on ABC, which is broadcast over the air, for free, and the other on the ACCN, which is so niche, and buried so deep in the channel selection, that people have to actively seek it out on their own to even know it exists.

I know this should be common sense for everyone-

The irony of you pointing out common sense that is missing a key point

This is where I think that the conference networks miss the mark.

I don't have concrete evidence, but I don't think so.

There are several things that I think are really going over your head here-

Nothing in that post compels me to disagree, but

I'm with you on that.

How could anyone have possibly guessed this trend in 2011? Poppycock?**

I wanted us to jump to the SEC. Oh well...**

I think Tech’s ratings are good with this reality & our recent records.
