Sounds like the Ole Ball Coach is feeling the HEAT! The kid seems like a smart guy, all he needs to do is verify either the lies or truths that Coach made reference. If he finds that the Ole Ball Coach lied, then that should make his decision easy. I personally think he needs to come down and visit Bobby Dodd, that’s where the championships of the future are to be won! UNC is a basketball school, and always will be!

I like the “Ole Ball Coach”, but is he halucinating in his older years? Comparing the academics of the ACC vs. SEC is quite a joke! Don’t look now Uga, but Tech’s business school has consistently been rated higher than the storied Dairy school of businees since we decided to get into the “business”.

I continue to be amazed at those who profess to know what the graduation rates are and the NFL recruits from the ACC/SEC number is, without giving specifics. You Tech guys are just as questionable as SOS. At least he had some kind of statements and information, true or not, that he represented to Farms. Also, I see the Tech inferiority issues with UGA and the SEC continue. Realistically, when there is some degree of continuity in winning, decent bowl appearances and selling tickets without having to spend a fortune trying to, then you can be taken seriously. Yes, it seems progress is being made in a commendable way, but one year does not a champion make. REAL fan support would help you, but the adult Tech fans are like me, still doubtful at this point.

OK, let’s compare the two conferences:

Which conference has more teams ranked in the BCS top 25? The ACC

Which conference has the higher Sagarin strength ranking? The ACC

Which conference won more of the head-to-head matchups this year? The ACC

Which conference has fired (or forced to resign) fewer head coaches this year? The ACC

GT was 2-0 against the SEC this year…BIG DEAL! They finally beat a UGA team that owned them for 7 straight years, and beat a sorry MSU team with a losing record. Beating MSU is no better than beating Duke.

Besides, UGA won 12 straight against the ACC before losing to GT. They also beat Virginia, FSU, Clemson twice, and VT. Of those 12 games, all the ACC teams finished with winning records except Virginia. Virginia’s bowl game loss put them at 6-6. Win 13 straight against the ACC, and then there might be something to brag about.

And for the record, everyone should take what Spurrier says with a grain of salt.

Spurrier is losing it. Football comparisons aside, comparing the academic merits of ACC schools versus $EC schools??. And mentioning USux in the same breath as the real “Carolina?”

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

And speaking of facts and marketing points, the ACC has produced 25 first-round picks since 2006, the most of any conference. The ACC has had 115 players chosen in the past three years, followed by the SEC with 112. Two out of the first three players taken in the NFL Draft (Chris Long of Virginia, Matt Ryan of Boston College) were from the ACC. The league had seven first-round draft picks, more than any other conference.

Spurrier is dead wrong on a number of fronts. Presitge, endowments, academics, atheltics…you name it, cause all around, the ACC has no peers.

The ACC has ALWAYS been better at academics.

Oh, and ACC is better at basketball and baseball. With football now better than the SEC, and academics better… why go play for the SEC in anything? save for the 2 schools that are good in each .

Typical SEC BS, dishonest pieces of sh**…most coaches in that conference are! I’m not a UGA fan but I believe Mark Richt is a man of character and is the exception in that conference. Somebody needs to tell Spurrier when to talk smack, not after getting your arse handed to you by a very average Clemson team from the ACC. What a DA!!!

Guys, we’re talking about comparing CONFERENCES, not just the top of the conference. Top to bottom, there is no comparison this year. Hell, Spurrier got routed by an interim coach in the ACC this year. What is he thinking?

Georgia lost at home to the only ACC team they played.

Ole Miss (who beat FL) got beat by Wake Forest.

Duke is one of only two ACC teams not to qualify for a bowl and even they beat Vandy, a mid-level SEC team. Head to head match ups don’t lie. This season the ACC has better teams top to bottom than the SEC.

The ACC puts as many or the same number of players in the NFL as the SEC.

Bottomline, the student-athlete needs to do his own research with regard to the academic standards of the schools they are looking at, as well as the kind of football it plays and what kind of success it has.

U need to research your material, SEC has more NFL players on roster than any other conference.

The comparison between UGA and GT are not justified to begin with. If you went to GT you would KNOW that the teaching style and classes are structured incredibly different. The standard class structure at most schools almost never come into play. To compare the graduation rate between standard universities and difficult schools is also impossible.

The work load at the tier one schools is incredible. Face it most of the SEC schools are ranked as tier 3 schools. Duke, Wake, GT, BC, NC, VA and VPI are all considered tier 1 schools. Vandy is the lone star from the SEC.

ACC was 24-32 against Top 30 teams (43%), while the “mighty” SEC was 8-30 against the Top 30 teams (21%). The SEC was also 1-16 against the Top 10!! (Did anyone else notice that the ACC played against 56 Top 30 teams and the SEC only played against 38 Top 30 teams.)

Most of the ACC teams are very young and nearly all of our coaches are solid. The tide is turning and the SEC faithful are terrified. Once the media realizes how good the ACC really is top-to-bottom, the ACC will finally start to recieve the respect the conference deserves.

Why then is it such a big deal that you beat such an “average” team, and by ONLY three points??? If you are as good as you keep saying you are, shouldn’t you be ranked higher? Oh yeah, the ACC doesn’t provide the strength of schedule that the SEC does. You had two wins over the SEC.. yes, one to Miss State, the worst team in the conference, and one to “average” as you say, UGA—by a measly three points. Still can’t figure out why you nerds keep talking. Again, sell out a home game for starters, then talk. Lotta Tech “fans” out there now that they beat Georgia, after almost a decade. Shocking.

Silly BR,

Many conferences could have 2 teams ranked in the top 5 if the rest of the conference was as bad as the other 10 teams are in the SEC.

Look at the Sagarin ratings which are not biased… the SEC is clearly not as good as the ACC or the Big 12 this year. The strength of schedule argument you make has no foundation.

Outside the FL and AL games, who was the next big tough scary team in the SEC on your schedule Auburn, Tennessee, Vandy?? What a joke these teams are.

Auburn went outside of the SEC and got embarrased by a Big East school.

Tennessee went outside of the SEC and got embarrased by an awful PAC-10 school.

BOWL Eligible Vandy who did well in the SEC this year, went outside the SEC and lost to Duke and Wake Forest of the ACC…

Maybe the SEC should just stay in conference so they can talk how tough the conference is, because going out and playing other major BCS conferences is getting embarrasing….. at least you have Alabama and Florida to get the OOC wins, whew…

Yea, Tech fans have called the mutts mediocre all year, because they were just trying to correct the dillusional UGA fans who thought they were the best team in the land.

Tech never said it was going to win a NC this year. UGA did….

Tech could have beaten UGA by more, but all we needed to do was make a few first downs and sit on the ball to end the game…. too bad UGA didn’t have Reggie Ball on their team this year…..

Oh yea, have you gone back and looked at the game in High-Def? Mohammed Mashusquat’s “completion” at the end of the half WAS NOT ONE…. the ball bounced off the turf and he quickly put his hand under the ball as he rolled over…. No wonder UGA snapped the PAT so quickly…

I guess you still want to rely on your string of 7 wins… well hang on to it BR, you won’t get there again. If you hang on to your 7 in a row, we will hang on to our 8 in a row. And we will hang on to the fact that we had the latest NC, and that we have more NC’s that UGA….

Look forward BR, UGA is sliding down…. GT is just beginning to climb.

You are losing Staff infection, No Show, and Massasquat and GT has ALL of its offense back next year. Doesn’t look good.

Your are right, GT only beat UGA by 3 points, but UGA only beat GT by less than a TD 3 out of the 4 previous years…. and GT only beat Gardner Webb by 3 points this year…. their defense was much better than UGA’s though…. maybe Richt should hire their DC?

This is such bs. All the other recruiters are more likely saying the same or similiar….So this is an article because Carvell doesn’t like Spurrier? So much for neutral journalism.

Confusion, contradiction, mental breakdowns…

UGA is pathetic…Hey, tech is great, we beat UGA

UGA are “Wal-Mart fan”…Hey, a techie is CEO of, you guessed it, Wal-Mart.

UGA has to go to a non-respected bowl…Hey, we go to the Peach.

UGA fans are delusional and think they are going to win a National Championship…Hey, we fianlly won 9 games and beat UGA which clearly means we are back and will win it all in 2 years!

UGA is so stupid with their cute little “Black Out”… Everyone at least wear trashbags for the “White Out”

UGA is always saying “woulda, coulda, shoulda”…Hey tech “coulda” scored again, tech “woulda” scored 60.

Hey, now that the CEO of WallyWorld is a bug, maybe there will be plenty of techie garb.

SOS is absolutely right about this issue. Don’t believe him then I hope you acc people tuned in the acc championship game and the sec championship game this weekend. If you did, it tells you everything you need on this subject. The stadium was full for the sec game, the fans were enthusiastic and it had big time college football written all over it. The acc however was totally lackluster. The App. St.-Richmond playoff game had more fans.

Congrats Steve, your team is in a good football conference. But you are still a bad football team. No wonder the kid doesn’t want to go there.

The coach at North Carolina just got there so none of his players have graduated or not graduated. As for the draft the ACC has more first round draft choices the last few years than any conference. How does the impression get out that it is the SEC? The paper we read lets it slide. If you had said the ACC had more national championships that the SEC you would of lite a candle under someone, no sliding there, but by allowing the misconception about ACC the press helps recruit for the SEC and feeds the masses and along the way sells more newspapers. Fox News is rather the same way reporting unbalanced news. No wonder the world is void of leadership and character.

Hey Kool Aide, what have you done lately. Besides you can forget about the seven straight wins over GT, ‘cause you say the eight straight GT won is not revelant, ‘cause it happened in the ‘50-‘60 era. So what? WWII was in the ’40s but we still won that sucker.

Hey NavyGrad, you need to read the directions on your antipsychotic drugs more carefully! Tech-a national championship contender?I guess that 1 win in 8 years has gotten the best of your senses! Go Dawgs! Payback is HELL!!!

GT could be a sleeper pick to run the table next year. With Georgia losing a lot on offense but stil replacing it with talented youngsters, they’ll be one of the humps Tech has to hurdle to go undefeated. The other games that will prove to be tough are home against VT, @ FSU and @ Miami. The hardest one of the 3 is probably going to be @ FSU.

Don’t be surprised if people talk about GT going undefeated it definitely could happen, and I don’t think that’s being delusional. Do I think it will happen? Probably not, but I wouldn’t be totally surprised if it did.

John Farms stay where they tell you the truth. SOS is looking out for his welfare and not yours by telling such outrageous lies about the ACC and insulting your intelligence.Those SEC schools are larger in student count than the ACC schools, but the ACC schools turn out just as many pros. UNC IS 30TH IN BEST ACADEMIC COLLEGES AND SOUTH CAROLINA IS 108TH. Besides, what is there to do at South Carolina but get drunk? And the cheerleaders at UNC are much better looking. And when football season is over, you can watch the TARHEELS basketball team destroy every team in the land. See? It is not even close!
