2025 ACC thread

[Root4GT]

There was some discussion in the postgame thread yesterday whether Haynes King would go down as a Tech legend or “just” a great QB who led us out of the darkness of the clown and laid the groundwork for a better future for Tech football.

Diego Pavia showed what a legendary career looks like. Belt to *** in your rival’s backyard to snap a 6-game rivalry losing streak and clinch the first 10-win season in program history. On top of the win over #1 Bama last year and likely going to New York with an outside chance to win the Heisman.

Will always love and appreciate HK, but don’t think I can call him a legend will such a comparable player and situation in Pavia & Vandy doing more with arguably less and against tougher competition. Failing to close out 8OT and the Pitt choke unfortunately make the difference

I have said before and still believe King and Pavia are the two most important players for their team's in college football.

I disagree that Vandy has less talent than GT.

King is a special QB who did bring GT out of the Darkness! That is very special!

Wow, FSU.

Norvell started at about the same time as TFG. We got Jeff Sims because Norvell cut him loose in favor of a higher rated prospect.

After five years of roster building, with a ton of NIL money, they had another losing season. And got pasted by their 4-8 state rival.

It’s amazing they start on second base and end up with a single.

Starting to look like we might've made it if Wake didn't **** themselves with constant turnovers.

I almost hope SMU comes back so I don’t have to think about how “close” we were. (Close being relative but still)

Duke in the ACCCG is so embarrassing

 

[Techwood Relict]

Not sure what to think of Norvell. Seems like a likeable guy. Hot coach when hired, but clearly doesn't fit well at fsu. Where does he go from there?

 

[Buzzed_11]

If duke gets into the ACCCG , I'm going to puke.
Our conference is a joke if that happens

 

[AUFC]

FWIW, even if Cal holds on against SMU, UVA is destroying VT so we were 2 games away from winning either of the scenarios that didn't involve the SportSource analytics tiebreaker. We're gonna get 3/5 of the games in the Miami win scenario and 1/3 of the games in the Pitt win scenario.

Buddy. The conference has been a joke for a while and became more a joke adding losers like cal and stanford

Don’t know how true it is, but it looks like we would’ve possibly made it had the Wake game gone the other way.

EDIT: Didn’t read your whole thing lol sorry.

If Duke wins next week and the ACC is left out of the playoffs then it's time to just end this conference and let everyone fend for themselves.

 

[Benny]

Would be interesting to have less than 20k in attendance and horrible tv numbers for the ACCCG.

I actually hope they do, frick this garbage conference. The sooner it dies the better.

I agree.

But to be fair, this also happened when there were divisions. Remember when we made the ACCCG with a 6-6 record?

That was only because Miami are/were cheaters

 

[GTBandit22]

SMU shows we aren’t the only ones to piss down our legs with the ship on the line

 

[L41k18]

That was only because Miami are/were cheaters

I thought it was NCar? Anyway, there was a 3-way tie (4?) and we won the tiebreaker.

The optics were bad then, as they are now if Duke gets in.

We got there because of a Miami postseason ban and we also didn’t lose to two G5 teams.

Yes! Them too! Miami was self imposed, UNC was handed down to them.
We got in because they both were cheating cheaters

 

[Tech93]

So the way I read it is if Cal wins and Duke lost we would have been in

 

[IslandsofGaunilo]

This conference is a joke. Holy ****.
