VT and Miami were the big plays on football and they didn't work out. It is what it is. I've already laughed at Stanford, Cal, and SMU. That was just pure desperation from a dying P5 conference. We're the new PAC-12, we're just in a lot worse shape than the PAC-12 was.

I know you’re upset about today’s UNC loss, but if you insult my team I’m coming back at you…

VT Football has won the ACC football title FOUR times, including in their 1st year.

VT Basketball won the ACC title in 2022 and we beat UNC and Duke in the process.

Miami has some huge creds too, so I don’t understand why you’d suggest those programs are dragging down the ACC either.  They aren’t.  The ACC needs to get out of it’s own way.

You're not getting what I'm saying. The ACC added Miami and VT precisely to avoid what has happened - basically becoming largely irrelevant in football. VT and Miami just aren't consistently nationally relevant anymore. I don't blame them for dragging the ACC down, they just didn't provide the lift expected. The ACC is gonna get out of its own way by dying. It's circling the drain.

UNC football has won the ACC five times in 70+ years, the most recent being 1980.

1980.

Virginia Tech has won the ACC football conference championship FOUR times: 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 and y’all had a 60 year head-start.

And VT is a strong favorite to win the ACC again this year.

Sure, we’re the weak link in the ACC.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
