Only 3 ACC schools have been to the NCAA less than Clemson

during Brad's tenure as Head Coach. Three schools out of 14. That's 21% with less invites than us.

The 3? Ga Tech, Boston College, Wake Forest.

That's right.... Brownell's comp are three smallish private schools, two of which are buried under the large media presence of pro teams: NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, et al.

That's who Brad relates to, and that's who Judge Keller relates to when they complain about "resources". When you're only beating the midgets of the conference, why do you need "resources"?

And by-the-by, one of those schools actually does have an ACC Tournament Championship during Brad's tenure - Ga Tech.


Really, Brad, can you beat anyone?

Georgia Tech is neither small, nor private.

Interestingly, the programs who have been to more NCAAs than us spend more than us.

It’s also interesting that we’ve been more consistent than most of them. Even though we have not been to as many NCAA Tournaments, we have also avoided the bad seasons many of them have.

more succccessful than us. By successful, I mean more consitently make the NCAAT than us. If, over the last ten years a school makes 6 or 7 NCAATs but has a few really bad years in between, but we only make 3 NCAATs over that time but finish mid-pack in conference in those othert years, so what? Any fool would take the 6 NCAATs over the 3 any day. That's exactly the difference we are talking about here, those are the facts, and that is the reality.
