I've never heard any Clemson fans say they would rather be in the SEC. It is what it is. Life is good.


Then you must be a kid.

Just a few years ago there were regular threads on taternet with taterheads fans railing on their wishes to be in the SEC.

Right now, given clemzin's current success, everyone is content with the easy path of a schedule.

What Clemzin doesn't have to contend with, and I've read this entire thread and it has yet to be mentioned .... are SEC crowds in SEC stadiums.

There are very few off weeks in the SEC. You can never let your guard down, especially on the road.

With the exception of Clemzin's stadium; There is not another single stadium in the ACC, in terms of roudiness and size/attendance, that compares favorably to SEC stadiums and that includes Doak Campbell ... FSU fans are shite with the exception of one or two games a year vs big rivals.

Do a head-to-head comparison of crowds and atmosphere and stadiums, ACC vs SEC, and it's no comparison. SEC wins top to bottom.

THAT'S the biggest difference between the ACC and SEC year in and year out.

Then there are the yearly bowl records ... which, again, the SEC historically dominates against higher-seeded competition.

Most telling this preseason was, after having one good year last season, the ACC Media Days talking points false narrative spewed by ACC coaches and ADs claiming the ACC to now be the finest football conference in the land. It was the most little brother thing the ACC could have done.

Look who's back. Still living in the past.

A few years ago, the rumor was FSU and Clemson to the B12. It looked like the imminent collapse of the ACC. Since then, though, it's been a pretty good conference. Two titles, two Heisman's, playoffs every year, ND joining (except football), facility improvements all over the conference. Clemson finally added softball. It appears the ACC is doing pretty well.

Seriously though, do you not see the oncoming collapse of this ESPN money train? What do you think is going to happen then? We'll still have our decades-old rivalries, we'll have championships in the trophy case, and everything will keep chugging along. At this point, Clemson is sustainable.

The fact that ACC suffered at the hands of the SEC in bowls 25 years ago isn't going to make one bit of difference to anyone in Clemson. It's just curious that the SEC guy continuously points to the money, but how much success has it brought USCe? A WBB title? That's cool, I guess.
