So you're saying a conference that couldn't keep Maryland almost got Texas?

No way. Seems the order of likelihood was Big XII...Pac12..................................................ACC. Nothing at all has come up in all the years about Texas possibly moving to the ACC. Not a thing until a few weeks ago. But they were close to moving? I just can't agree with that whatsoever. There's no proof Texas & the ACC actually had any meaningful conversations. Remember, we're talking about the conference that didn't even approach PSU when PSU was looking to make a move.

ND gets a bye Conf Champ week & doesn’t play top 4 since they get a bye? -- Stech 06/14/2021 9:11PM

Show me where any ND person asked you to feel sorry for them -- TerryD 06/14/2021 8:59PM

If I were a ND fan I would like this 12 team playoff idea, even with byes. -- wwhokie1 06/15/2021 6:06PM

Their bye is not playing in a Conference Championship Game, then n the week -- Stech 06/15/2021 6:45PM

It's almost as if this tired topic hasn't been covered ad nauseum -- Maroon Baboon 06/14/2021 10:18PM

Expect it again after the vote or if something else happens. Will & Chris -- Stech 06/15/2021 12:34PM

I am not moderator, never pretended to be. -- goldendomer 06/15/2021 2:12PM

Ya see, that's part of the gaslighting though. -- Maroon Baboon 06/15/2021 4:23PM

I’m old enough to remember this happening on TCB with HokieJeff -- Red Hokie 06/15/2021 5:12PM

Interesting. Fill me in on the history of HokieJeff. -- Maroon Baboon 06/15/2021 5:22PM

They shared what they were hearing from reliable sources & people like you -- Stech 06/15/2021 6:36PM

I'm glad you are finally admitting you are wrong. That's progress. -- Maroon Baboon 06/16/2021 09:35AM

Baboon I said years before ND joined the ACC it would be the ACC. Most if -- Stech 06/16/2021 07:29AM

I knew that ND would leave the Big East -- TerryD 06/15/2021 9:04PM

That was an adult post on what was right & wrong and not an attack. -- Stech 06/16/2021 07:41AM

Texas AD didn’t say they were close to joining the ACC -- reestuart 06/15/2021 7:50PM

This clown show thinks the ACC was going to cherry pick ND and Texas -- Maroon Baboon 06/15/2021 8:35PM

Best you’re going to get him to say publicly, it was closer than most think ** -- Stech 06/15/2021 7:58PM

If anything, it sounds like the ACC was played/used to get Texas what they -- reestuart 06/15/2021 9:30PM

Not true. ** -- Stech 06/16/2021 07:44AM

Sorry I think most people would go with the Texas AD at the time, but you -- Stech 06/16/2021 12:18PM

But he -did not- say they were close to joining the ACC. And he's saying -- reestuart 06/16/2021 1:01PM

Texas -- Maroon Baboon 06/16/2021 11:10AM

The only other conference that would make sense is maybe the Big Ten. -- reestuart 06/16/2021 11:34AM

One of problems with conference expansion deals or even near-deals is that -- Maroon Baboon 06/16/2021 1:16PM

Yep, and everytime the same topic appears my reaction -- goldendomer 06/14/2021 10:52PM

Did you think ND would agree to play 5 football games & join the ACC? Did -- Stech 06/15/2021 6:54PM

My ego is not tied to this -- goldendomer 06/15/2021 7:38PM

I admitted I likely missed this one that’s not ego, but you, Terry & Baboon -- Stech 06/15/2021 7:59PM

Not the most important point, good diversion by you though!!! -- Stech 06/14/2021 9:10PM
