They are adding a HS all star game AFTER the ACC game to attract fans. LOL

Probably more people will show up for the HS game. You know how when a game's a blowout, they'll show people leaving the stadium during the fourth quarter? This will be just like that but in reverse: people arriving during the fourth quarter so they don't miss the start of the HS game.

ACC = Awfully Crappy Conference

Bull,
You USF folks missed one heck of a marketing opportunity. Instead of a high school all-star game USF should have scheduled it's season finale immediately following the ACC Championship Game. The undercard and the Main Event...

LOL. The ACC wouldnt allow it. They have control over who plays from wednesday to saturday. It created all kind of stink earlier in the year. which led the Tampa mayor to get involved and for USF to get new terms with RJS.

Now that would be a funny sight, and would definitely put a damper on their parade.

I'm waiting for a C-USA fan to run over and defend the ACC.

Maybe they'll get an invite in the next round of expansion...

Not C-USA fans but UCF fans.

lol, you're right! I actually meant to say UCF instead of C-USA.

/facepalm

Of course they're doing anything they can to prop up the game in Tampa up. It makes EVEN LESS sense to hold that game in Tampa than it does in Jacksonville. Swofford must be getting a simultaneous rimjob-blowjob from Miami and FSU, or he's just that effing stupid. Either way Swofford is long due to GTFO as commish. He screwed up the bowls. He screwed up conference expansion (BC??? WTF?!?). He screws over non-Florida football and non-NC basketball schools. Ask any Clemson, GT, and especially BC fan about that one.

The ACC game will be in Charlotte -- where it damn well belongs -- and all will be right again (at least with the Championship Game).

I still have no Idea why they put the game in tampa..If FSU or UM are in it they will have a crowd.. if not they won't. Charlotte is a much better venue.. or atlanta. It would be like the BE putting a champ game if they had one in Miami, or the Big 12 in Nawlins.. it makes no sense.

If he does, maybe he and Tranghese can kiss and make up and go play golf together or perhaps a celebrity boxing match to decide once and for all who the bigger :moon2: is.

What if the attendance goes up when the high school game starts!

This is so sad, what does this make the ACC look like?
