ACC/SEC Challenge Announced

[TheMookieMonster]

Well, for those like myself who have always dreamed of drawing Duke, we might finally get our chance.

Are we still doing the SEC/Big 12 challenge? Or is that done since Texas and OU are moving over here?

sounds like it’s done since the tv contracts are restructuring. From what I’ve read espn did this to avoid trying to work around some of the other conferences fox contracts. I’ll miss the big 12 challenge. One of my favorite sporting events I ever went to was the Kansas game in phog. Just a neat place

Some may want Duke. Other will call for North Carolina

Me: Boston College

As a BC grad, I might ask you to elaborate. Looking for an easy W or some other reason you want the eagles?

Clemson for me might as well beat them in 2 sports starting with the orange bowl

 

[chazman]

Give me Clemson good follow up after the orange bowl

I was a big Doug Flutie guy back in the day. Guys like that who have to work a little harder for success are easy to like. Kinda followed them during that time. I guess playing them would sort bring back some memories

What this really has to do with basketball? I have no idea

 

[xfactorutk]

Any idea when those draws happen?

Haha! Flutie was before my time at BC, although I got to see him as Chargers QB when I was living in San Diego. We were good in both sports when I was there; my freshman year we knocked off #1 Notre Dame in South Bend (football) and upset #1 UNC in the NCAA tournament. Sadly, both programs have fallen on hard times and would be an easy W for the Vols these days.

BC is scheduled to play UT in baseball in Knoxville on March 7th, although that may not go well either.

2023 matchups were announced last June.

Me: Boston College

Without your further explanation, this is how I processed this...

"Some may want Giordanos. Other will call for Papa Johns.

Me: Chuck E. Cheese"

Well. As much as I would love to draw Duke in the first pairings next season, they will almost certainly be paired with Kentucky. A home and home with UK/Duke at Cameron/Rupp has never happened and would be a college basketball ratings dream for the networks.

I have always felt that an ACC/SEC Challenge just feels like a natural rivalry and we probably will play Duke with both the women and men at some point in the future.

K's refusal to do home/homes hasn't helped that cause. UK/UNC is the more traditional match up. I'd guess Tennessee/UK get Duke/UNC., Arkansas vs Virginia and then Auburn will get lucky and draw Louisville.

Hey, watch it!

Hey, watch it!

Haha...strictly speaking of basketball relevance. Apologies.

Haha! Just giving you a hard time, but BC hoops hasn’t reached the level of prestige of Chuck E. Cheese in recent years. We’d have to dip a bit deeper into the barrel for an appropriate analogy.

Perhaps leftover gas station pizza was a better comparison. I'd say Totinos, but I actually like Totinos.

I think we will either play North Carolina State because of the Gainey connection or Clemson because Barnes coached there.

My brother played on that BC team that beat ND in South Bend

I was at the game; whole family was. Mom has a scoop of ND turf somewhere in a shoe box from when she rushed the field after

Brother was on the cover of Sports Illustrated that next week, picture of him tackling Jerome Bettis
