  1. Having Stanford and Cal join the ACC is a travesty. I believe ACC stands for Atlantic Coast Conference. Stanford and Cal play next to the Pacific Ocean not the Atlantic Ocean. Stanford (and Cal) is going to end up having to fly back and forth across the country numerous times, traveling thousands upon thousands of miles, constantly changing time zones, disrupting their studies, you name it and for what? Apparently this is all about TV revenue. The ACC while not the SEC is still basically a semi-pro league with schools who will take almost anybody who applies and recruits players many of whom will eventually be playing "on Sundays" as the expression goes.. Three out of 100 applicants get into Stanford and Cal is pretty strict as well. No one who attends Stanford even seems to care about their football team. They are lucky to get 20,000 people into their band box stadium on a Saturday. When they play away games in places like Syracuse and Clemson they are playing in stadiums with 100,000 people screaming and yelling as if football was the most important things in their lives. This was all on display in yesterday's blow-out of Stanford by Clemson. The game was a total joke against two teams who had no business playing each other. This is definitely not a level playing field if one can forgive the pun. Stanford and Cal should get out of the ACC just as fast as they can, I don't care what the penalty is. One can only imagine the extra costs that both schools are incurring to participate in this farce. They should stay on the West Coast and help other schools in the western United States revive the PAC 12. This should be the last year of this insanity.

  2. But of course congratulations are in order for Stanford's stunning victory over Syracuse. Nevertheless that it is not something that is going to happen a lot. On the other hand when the ACC teams on the East Coast have to travel 3,000 miles to California to play maybe just maybe that will be a chance for Stanford and Cal to beat up on some very groggy players and there might actually be a few more people in the stands at Stanford Stadium so showing the games on national TV will no longer humiliate Stanford. Still none of this makes any sense and none of this is fair to any of the teams. Stanford and Cal are first and foremost strong academic institutions. Why they still feel the need to field football teams that no one cares about is beyond me. I guess they do it because their very rich alumni want them to do it and they call the shots.

  3. I think it's actually refreshing to have some new teams in the ACC. I know the travel distance is not ideal, but still welcome to Cal, Stanford and SMU.

  4. Stanford's qb did them in. He is a good player, but you cannot give Clemson the game at Clemson, because the referees are only going to call penalties against Clemson if it is so obvious Ray Charles would have seen it from 20 miles away. If it had not Stanford's starting quarterback had not have handed Clemson the game the Stanford would have every right in the world to be upset with the officials.
