2009 ACC Championship Clemson vs GT

This game is right up there with my worst overall experience watching Clemson. Crappy, just crappy overcast day with cold wind whipping across the tailgate. The girlfriend got sick 10 minutes before kickoff and spent the entire game sleeping in the car. We choked after an exceptional beginning. Long drive back to Orlando after the game. Sucked!
From Wiki:
"In the 2009 season, both teams won their respective division in the ACC. For the first time in the series' history, the two teams met for a second time in a season on December 5, 2009 in the ACC Championship Game. The game marked the first ever December meeting between the two teams, as well as the first post-season meeting. It was also the first time the series has been played outside of Atlanta or Clemson since 1899. Georgia Tech won 39–34; however, the NCAA later vacated the last 3 games of Georgia Tech's 2009 season along with the ACC Championship. The NCAA determined that starting WR Demaryius Thomas should have been ruled ineligible ahead of the previous game for accepting $312 worth of clothing from a potential agent. While the offense was minor, and the individual never proven to be an agent and the clothing returned, the NCAA ruled that Georgia Tech's athletic department had prepared the players prior to submitting statements, and was generally uncooperative with the NCAA investigation. Therefore, all games following the alleged offense have been vacated, including the 2009 ACC championship game with Clemson."

wears blue. But not just blue, a certain light shade of blue that the ACC Commish likes. They also have a hoops program that a lot of people like and watch during March madness, which generates green for the NCAA.
