    ECU isn't far from bidding C-USA adieu, FWIW.

    Who would take EC? The Big East? The ACC didn't want them, thank goodness.

    I had a little too much fun mowing down a so-called sports columnist who argued that ECU should have been in the last ACC expansion. Shooting fish in a barrel ...

    Geographically, yes ECU would fit in the ACC. Athletically, no.

    Nice dig. ;)

    The goalposts at Bryant-Denny have never been torn down. May it always be thus.

    ECU is a good school. I don't and won't take swipes at the school. Everyone has to go somewhere. There are dummies at Harvard just as well as USC or any other school.

    Ignorance is everywhere, Drip. And I know some sharp people who went to East Carolina.

    But I've seen the curriculum. Don't even try to convince me that place should be compared to an Atlantic Coast Conference school, much less the Ivy League. Please don't.

    Not every school is for every body Sam. That's all I'm referring to. Be that as it may, would ECU in the ACC be so bad?

    Academically there isn't much difference between Clemson and ECU.

    If the ACC takes ECU, I will disown the league as a fan. Period.

    AQB, Clemson is clearly a better school. It's not even close.

    It's a cow college.

    Sam, what makes it better in your opinion?
