3. somewhere in the middle of all this, tech gets caught in a good old fashioned SEC style cheating scandal (academics, payoffs, what have you)

also throw in our guys spending time in the paper because of misconduct off the field, a problem everywhere, yes; but status-quo at any competitive SEC school


NATT but what i see if we bolt. thankfully i doubt anything will change with the ACC's membership.
That's where you couldn't be MORE WRONG. PLEASE EXPLAIN...even if we were 4-7 or 5-6, do you really think a home game against Tenn, SCAR, GEORGIA!!!! or FLORIDA!!!!!! would be a minor event? Or one that people were lacked interest? No way in HELL. It would be a huge, huge event, no matter what our record was - bigger than any of the games we currently play. I don't think we'll do that badly. Florida is losing ground. Miles isn't such a great coach. Saban and Bama are the bullies of the SEC right now.

Beamer is a great coach, but we all know that his past teams surely wouldn't win 10 games a year in the SEC. I think we'd keep some big DLs and OLs that we lose right now if we were in the SEC. The problem with the ACC is that we almost go undefeated every year and the games generally suck. I go to a lot of SEC games and they are much better than our games NOW - even when the teams are having an off-year.
