The 4th #1 seed was pretty much down to UNC, Tennessee, and Arizona. Tennessee is down 22 with 10 minutes to go.

It really doesn't matter how this plays out, Carolina and Arizona are gonna be in the same bracket. One the #1 and the other the #2. The selection committee LOVES storylines. They tried to setup matchups with KU for Roy's entire tenure.

It's true. College basketball popularity has fallen off so hard from when I was growing up in the '80s and '90s. College basketball RAN poo in NC back then. We would literally watch the ACC tournament IN CLASS. Carolina vs. duke days might as well have been a national holiday. 

There used to be a burger place near where I live that would bring a TV in, place it bear the grill so the cooks could watch, and play the tournament every year. Once the tournament was over, the TV would disappear for another year. Too bad that place closed down before the pandemic, they had good burgers.

Another thing that has hurt interest in the ACC tournament was the ACC taking it out of NC. NYC and Washington DC don't have a thing to do with the conference, yet both have hosted the tournament because the conference wanted whatever checks they were offered.

1000%

The ACC tourney in Greensboro was an institution and made all the sense in the world with 4 ACC teams in NC as well as Clemson, UVA, and VT in easy driving distance. With Maryland no longer in the ACC having the tourney in DC makes no sense at all. Syracuse in an upstate NY team and NYC is a pro sports city. I get the appeal of having it in the Big Apple but in terms of people showing up it's not a great spot. Greensboro was the perfect spot.

If the ACC had wanted the tournament in a bigger city, Charlotte was right down the road so to speak. The downside to Charlotte is that the current arena holds a couple thousand less people than Greensboro.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
