Maryland

For all the folks saying "good riddance" to Maryland, I would ask you to look at the history of Maryland and Clemson in the ACC. Maryland has "always" been a solid partner with Clemson on the politics of the conference. This dates back to the conferences inception.

I think that Clemson should have voted with Maryland against the 50 million buyout. Clemson used to be "solid" with Maryland, NC State, Virgina and later GA Tech, FSU and Va Tech.

Clemson is very close to being on an Island in the ACC, and it will not be a fun place.

FSU and Ga Tech seem willing to look out for themselves at any cost.
NC State has sold out to Tobacco road.

Virginia, like Vandy is really a non factor politically, except in their pressure from the state house on Va Tech.

I think the responsibile party for these position shifts is Clemson and our apparent sell out to Tobacco Road.

We usually could build consensus and establish a conference "firewall" against Tobacco Road. I think that we have lost credibility there, and we better be keeping our options open.

Hmmm. If you really want to know how many pregnant clemson women have been hit by a beer bottle at an away game at Maryland, you would have to get one of our statistitions involved. My guess is that the number is very, very low. Based on the number of fans they draw and the size of the pregnant clemson women fanbase that attend the away games, the difficulty in determining if the target for the bottle is indeed pregnantfrom many rows away, delivering an accurate throw while under the influence....and etc, pretty low indeed.

Maryland, Clemson, and FSU have traditionally voted as a solid block on conference issues. Clemson left the two , high and try when they voted to up the buyout to 50 Million.

If FSU finds a home and goes without Clemson, Clemson can look in the mirror for the cause.
