This was the week the dam was supposed to begin breaking per Josh Pate.

No it wasn’t. That’s not an accurate statement.

I'm not going to go crazy finding the clip or post, but I recall it being a

Pate has really been.......
2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 10:12 AM ET
Completely disagree. Have you watched Josh Pate? He doesn’t do that.
hokieZ71 • 07/15/24 11:20 AM ET
I like Josh Pate. That's why I was surprised he went down the path of
Maroon Baboon • 07/15/24 04:57 PM ET
I agree too. But it’s also why I think he might actually know something**

hokieZ71 • 07/16/24 01:39 PM ET
I have watched him plenty of times......
2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 11:36 AM ET
Exactly, this one time. Which makes me think there’s something to it.
hokieZ71 • 07/15/24 12:04 PM ET
The wild speculation......
2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 12:12 PM ET
It didn’t seem like he heard something vague.
hokieZ71 • 07/15/24 12:21 PM ET
He implied.......
2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 12:37 PM ET
He said “it might very well be in July”; Also said “It’ll happen by Aug15”
hokieZ71 • 07/15/24 12:42 PM ET
I'm not asking you to.......
2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 12:51 PM ET
With that definition there hasn’t been “real information” since Calford/SMU

I didn't say anything.......

Maybe the ACC v. Clemson court stalemate

Legit question, who are the best football brands in the B12? And…
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/14/24 10:18 PM ET
No one is saying that the B12 is a better conference than the ACC when
Big12 guy • 07/15/24 06:07 PM ET
So where are Clemson ad FSU going if not SEC and B1G?
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/16/24 12:06 AM ET
Thanks for responding. Truth is, i don't really care who "wins". We
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 07:08 AM ET
I personally think B12 and their media partners may be in a pinch.
winston-hoo • 07/15/24 11:05 AM ET
Can someone please help me understand all the ACC! ACC! ACC! stuff-

I have been telling you but you won't listen so trying again
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 01:05 PM ET
The ACC losing FSU/CLEM < Big12, let alone ACC losing (4) teams.**

You'll give yourself arthritis arguing with this guy about this...
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 03:40 PM ET
Disagree**
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 03:27 PM ET
Sure, you've "been telling me," but what you've been telling me-
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 03:17 PM ET
Not going into it all but I also don't believe the ACC will add any more
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 03:33 PM ET
Have you ever been to a game west of the Mississippi? It's

No and that is the point. West of the Mississippi just as well be on the

Big12 guy • 07/15/24 09:11 PM ET
I respect your opinion and perspective.
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/16/24 06:23 PM ET
The markets on the East coast are larger, no doubt. The difference is
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 06:59 PM ET
Yes the ACC has some bottoms-feeders and that is our only real problem.

B12 doesn't compare to FSU, Clemson, ND, and even Miami. hands
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 07:26 PM ET
Yet no one has taken our Top-4 away so…?
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/16/24 07:47 PM ET
Your first paragraph is exactly what I have been saying
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 11:26 PM ET
Your last 4 words is where I disagree with you completely. I'd rather
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 07:22 AM ET
time to end this thread so here is mine and you get the last word
VTCALS72 • 07/16/24 07:49 AM ET
Then we end this thread more in agreement, than disagreement. **

The truth is both.......

A very good point. Most that I talk too out here in flyover, do not
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 07:30 AM ET
So now playing Liberty and JMU is better than playing the Big 12?
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 03:38 PM ET
Hokie fans want what is best for the Hokies
SpeakToDamien • 07/15/24 12:40 PM ET
If only the ACC admin cared about the viability of its big football brands-

Ok. Like whatever you like.**

Not sure how you come to that conclusion…
CrystalCoveHokie • 07/15/24 09:37 AM ET
Which four Big12 schools are better programs / brands than…
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/15/24 09:43 AM ET
Almost all of them are on par with the ACC schools you listed, except
Big12 guy • 07/15/24 07:11 PM ET
The B12 thinks FSU and Clem are coming but they aren’t.
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/15/24 11:48 PM ET
Why in the world is WVU not in the ACC to begin with? Cincy has been there
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 07:12 AM ET
Also the B12 has lost Texas, Oklahoma,Texas A&M, Nebraska, Mizzou, Colorado
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/15/24 11:56 PM ET
Laugh all you want, but those teams with the addition of 3 G5's and

Wouldn't surprise me either, but SMU and CalFord wil not
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 03:51 PM ET
At this point I highly doubt Clemson leaves. And FSU is gonna…

The question is not......
2hhoop3 • 07/16/24 12:46 PM ET
Yes. I was surprised by the amount to be honest. The reason they got the

One thing everybody......
2hhoop3 • 07/16/24 01:01 PM ET
Do you think UM, VT, UNC, and Lville are really going-
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 10:14 AM ET
If those 4 don't get a P2 offer, the ACC with them in it is way better than
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 01:22 PM ET
I don't think that's in any way a given.
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 02:57 PM ET
It is more about
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 03:22 PM ET
The PAC-12 sure got away from their "Wakes and BCs."

I'm not sure I would have included the Big East Football Conference in the

CrystalCoveHokie • 07/15/24 10:11 AM ET
Then the ACC should poach all five of them now**
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/15/24 10:27 AM ET
Yeah, I'm sure all five would sign up immediately to join a conference-
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 11:58 AM ET
Last I looked, these teams were making more money in Big12…..
CrystalCoveHokie • 07/15/24 10:35 AM ET
ACC has the much better brands.
HouClone • 07/15/24 09:09 AM ET
You must be living in an alternate reality-
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 10:18 AM ET
My take
obguthr • 07/15/24 09:05 AM ET
On other hand….AZ, AZSt, UCF and Houston have larger enrollments…
CrystalCoveHokie • 07/15/24 11:08 AM ET
What does that mean? What is it worth?
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 03:35 PM ET
Counter point to living alumni. Not sure it means anything in a vacuum**

I think BYU is the top brand in the XII. Not by much though.

2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 09:39 AM ET
The value of the ACC will be less after the major players are gone
Millpoint • 07/15/24 12:11 PM ET
Why would ACC schools want to join the Big XII instead of forming a new
VTHokie2000 • 07/15/24 12:44 PM ET
Maybe they will?**
Millpoint • 07/16/24 03:41 PM ET
Maybe that will be how it plays out**
Millpoint • 07/15/24 08:33 PM ET
Thanks for the reply.......
2hhoop3 • 07/15/24 12:20 PM ET
They’ve wanted in the ACC for many decades and would jump asap**

The ACC beats the Big 12 too in private schools, 7 to 3.
