You are correct; Coach K got the nod to tear down a wing and expand a new basketball facility on it.

Is that true or are you making a joke?

I hope that's a joke.

RE: Duke - it looks like they just built this practice facility


It appears that David Cutcliffe is trying to build up Duke football - literally. Jokes aside, it seems like they "got the memo" about commitment to football. Better late than never.

Give it up. I reminded him not too long ago that the difference in $$$ between WVU and Clemson was substantial as well and that didn't prevent the Eers from kicking Tiger tail one iota, not to mention beating Oklahoma and beating Georgia in big bowls as well.

He's one of those southern fans who thinks everything should be given to them, that football should only be played in the warmth and sun, and that if we go into a corner and whine and curl up into a fetal position we'll get our way.

Probably hasn't had to work hard for anything in his life.

Being a Big East northeasterner fan, I've grown a tougher skin.

Over on the Realignment Board we joked about a possibility that the Big 12 takes FSU and Louisville or FSU and GT over Clemson and how someone would need to talk catdaddy down from the ledge. Another fan, appropriately a southern one, chimed in we should check to make sure he doesn't have a sniper rifle first.

That about sums it up. Luckily, so far at least, Clemson officials appear to be taking a different tact publicly. Time will tell.

One word of wisdom from a fan who has gone through this already with the Big East, there were Eers and Husky fans who said that Miami was looking for a place where Shalala could de-emphasize football, a conference where they could be secure without having to win all the time.

Whoever remains, needs to be focused on winning football. They may not succeed, but they need to be putting in the effort to be as good as they can be which is what the performance incentive could be all about.

Cheers,

Beano said that if Clemson left the ACC it would be the biggest mistake since the Germans invaded Russia during WWII.
Every member of the conference needs to try harder.....even Duke is getting ready to invest $100M in upgrades to Wallace Wade Stadium.

That is an insane amount of money on a stadium that doesn't seat many people and probably couldn't look much different since the demand isn't there to increase capacity.

That's chump change for Dook.
