Unconquered

I still have no idea why people consider him some source of inside info. I feel that way about several "respected" posters on FSU sites, including this one.

You don't need to be an insider to see the following:

*FSU has had to cut it's budget 2 years in a row now.

*ACC TV contracts worth a LOT less than the BIG 4 conferences and the gap is growing

*The likely new playoff system will have an RPI component that will make it unlikely we see an ACC team in that game very much. Maybe 1 or 2 a decade

*The likely revenue sharing of the new playoff system will likely add another area where the ACC is greatly outpaced compared to the Big 4 conferences in revenue. This likely will wind up being the biggest money difference.

*ACC bowl lineups are terrible

*FSU fans still prefer SEC refs in the swamp to our own ACC refs. That statement alone shows the ACC as pathetic

*ACC has only STRENGTHENED it's focus on basketball instead of seeing football is where the money is.

etc, etc, etc

No, the Big 12 isn't perfect....neither is the ACC. The question is, what is FSU's best option?

It is easier to argue for status quo and harder to argue for change.....just human nature. We hate change as a species.

They invited some aggies? That is unfortunate.

Not to mention, aren't you guys being a little harsh seeing he just has an opposing opinion.

Let's not start calling each other out.

agreed.

The immaturity on this board sometimes amazes me.

Or he can share it and everyone else can take it for what it's worth. He isn't a journalist or reporter, just a dude sharing what he has heard. The fact that people are holding him accountable to that info is ridiculous, especially since the majority of the time it comes with a disclaimer.

I do think he had trouble seeing why the BIg 12 makes sense and didnt agree with his assessment for staying in the ACC, but I love reading opposing thoughts. It makes me smarter.

Laura, I remember that thread. He didn't care too much for the fact that a lot of his opinions, and what he heard, didn't even make sense in today's landscape. My issue personally, was that his points were flat out bad, contradicted each other, and led me to believe that his sources were just talking heads like anyone else.

That's fine....but the level to which he was so close minded was just poor. I'll be honest...it came across like a guy upset that he couldn't leave his doorstep anymore to watch games in ACC land. That's not my problem, and not FSU's problem. And based on his adamant nature following staying in the ACC geographic footprint, I'd be shocked if he even had season tickets.

really? downvotes for Pben? this board has reached a new low.

I upvoted you simply for the fact that I hate when people like him come on here and spout off crap that turns out to be ridiculous while acting like any views outside of his own are unheard of.

His information was given to him before last Friday's car bombing by Neinas.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I try to becareful what I say cause I don't like eating crow. Some of y'all might want to do the same.

He might have been Coach Stewart.
