Look at how bad the ACC was in 1969


Apr 8, 2019, 9:57 AM

no team had an overall record above 0.500.

Coots got out just in time.

Can you imagine your only conference championship


Apr 8, 2019, 10:00 AM

season ending with a 7-4 record?

IF they weren't coots, you'd almost feel bad for them.

Raising the admission standards about a decade prior killed ACC football for many years. There was not a level playing field. ACC was trying to be some quasi-Ivy league back then.

Yeah, that was when UNC was trying to have "academic" standards, then they didn't care even to go or cheat in their classes.

The coots quit the following year because "literacy" and then a few decade later, you have Chapel Hill not even requiring "participation".

Funny thing is that despite the higher standards, Virginia still could not muster anything beyond a doormat.

Ha. You know it’s a rivalry when we are trying to diminish their single conference championship

It’s only a “rivalry” now because they’re in our backyard and we relish karma after their 5 bombs. Otherwise it’s no longer a rivalry. They may luck up and win 1 game out of every 4-5 but if things stay the way they are now it feels a lot like beating up your little brother.

and they bookend that 'championship" season


Apr 8, 2019, 11:00 AM

with a record of 4-6 in 1968 and 4-6-1 in 1970.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hey! It took them 3 seasons to get 15 wins ... Best Ever !***
