ACC/SEC Challenge Announced

[VolArmy74]

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

They'll have to improve greatly to match with us. The matchups are generally the best teams vs the best teams. That's why we've drawn Kansas and Texas in the Big 12/SEC challenges lately. When we were not doing well we got Kansas State, TCU and Iowa State. When we exploded in 2017-18 we got matched with West Virginia for the 2018-19 game, who'd won 26 games and made the Sweet 16 the year before. Since then it's Kansas 2x and Texas 2x.

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

That's awesome! That was an amazing win! I just remember running out of my dorm room and jumping onto a dog pile in the hall! I also remember that SI cover!

That is some kind of cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Here's that cover and then the kick that sealed it!

That's the one. Thank you for linking it

That is my brother Dan top left. Somewhere in a box in the basement I have a copy signed by all three BC players

My family and I were at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC the next week when this SI hit. My parents stopped at every newsstand on the way home and bought every copy they could get their hands on

BC actually played Tennessee in the Hall of Fame Bowl after that season

That sounds like an epic week!
