Mickey Plyler's Blog: Dear Swoffy

Dear Swoffy

Dear Swoffy
Dear John,
Well here we are again. I am at my keyboard looking at a blank football schedule and you are probably off in the Outer Banks with Holden.

I promise I won't write this letter again next year if you would just come out with a football schedule at a reasonable time.

btw bozo makes over a million a year and had his contract as commissioner extended again.

if you don't like it, take it up with his bosses or you can continue to #### in the wind?

apparently the presidents think he's doing an outstanding job.

Which ACC Teams Voted For / Against The Eight-Game Conference Schedule?

By Brian Favat on Oct 4, 3:00p 6

Sam Sharpe-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire

Did Boston College vote for or against the move back to an eight-game ACC schedule?

ESPN's Heather Dinich had an interesting tidbit in yesterday's article entitled 8-game schedule right move for ACC. According to a source, the vote was far from unanimous.

This move wasn't catering only to Florida State and Clemson, though. It was approved by a close 8-6 vote of league athletic directors, including Pittsburgh and Syracuse, according to a source who voted at the fall meeting in Boston.

Boston College's interim A.D. John Kane was on-hand representing the program at the ACC's fall meetings in Needham. Was he the vote that swung the vote in favor of a move back to the eight-game schedule?

Of course, it's fun to play the guessing game as to who was in favor of this move and who was against it.

You can immediately count Clemson, Florida State and Georgia Tech among the programs in favor of the move back to eight conference games. All three programs, with built-in SEC rivals, were feeling the non-conference scheduling crunch that comes with having just three non-conference games a year.

From there, it gets a little more murky. Purely guessing here, but I would imagine both the new guys -- Syracuse and Pittsburgh -- were in favor of the move back down to eight league games. I'm going to venture a guess that Boston College and Miami joined their former Big East rivals in voting for more non-conference scheduling flexibility.

That leaves one more program in favor. Virginia Tech? Maryland? Not sure.

As for the teams that voted against this, I'd imagine Wake Forest is one given the fact that a nine-game conference schedule would have brought two of their Carolina neighbors to campus more often. Difficulties in non-conference scheduling with the smallest stadium in the conference was likely another factor. Virginia goes along with whatever North Carolina and Duke does, and I'm sure the original ACC members preferred more, not less, conference games. N.C. State would have made it a Carolina block vote, leaving whichever program of Virginia Tech or Maryland that didn't vote in favor of eight games as the sixth and final vote against.

Again, this is mere conjecture. But if the vote went down in this way, it's interesting to see where the interests of each program fall on either side of this debate. To me, this vote likely split down expansion vs. original ACC member lines, with Clemson joining with FSU and Georgia Tech on the expansion side of the argument. Something to keep an eye on going forward, as the original ACC members voting power has now been diluted to the point where it's an even seven-seven split (with Notre Dame the tiebreaker vote for non-football matters).

teams aren't exactly lining up to go play in the Carrier Dome because it's lose/lose.

At least if you go on the road to Clemson, FSU, UGA, etc. people expect you get beat.

I read where the Pitt/FSU Labor Day game is holding it up...


Feb 20, 2013, 11:40 AM

now, as Villanova (Pitt's original opponent to open the season) is having trouble finding another date.
Wofford was scheduled to open season with FSU and they were able to move their game with FSU so that Pitt/FSU could be Labor Day.

Mickey,

RU4GOD2 is right-how can you seriously comment on Raycom being a 2nd rate show when Tigernet allows you to post unproofed blogs with spelling errors middle school students would not make.

Also when you can rile up RU4GOD2 into posting a substitution for profanity. Get your own house in order first.

I am a Clemson graduate and fan and unlike you could produce a diploma.
I am not a homosexual. But curious are you stating that homosexuals are not allowed to be Clemson fans? Or are you stating that homosexuals are only gamecock fans?

I don't understand your ignorance.

Also in case I missed it on the news did Tigernet back Chick Filet comments that homosexuals are not allowed to post on Tigernet? I am severely confused over your post could you elaborate?

Feb 20, 2013, 11:44 AM

Mickey, I could not agree with you more on this one! It is unacceptable that it takes our conference this long to publish a schedule ... on top of all the reasons you mentioned, what about for recruiting as well? Don't we think that showing a recruit and his family exactly where he'll be playing this coming fall might be a good thing to be able to do BEFORE signing day? I'm not saying we lost anyone based on this notion, but its just another reason there should be a little more urgency in getting this done!
