    From a mod on the Clemson 247 board:

     

    This is what I got:

    - We are gone. The decision has been made. We are leaving the ACC.

    - The GOR will not keep us in the ACC.

    - We have not been offered a spot by the B1G or the SEC as of yet.

    - The B1G has not decided to expand South...yet.

    - The SEC has not decided to expand further...yet.

    - We appear to prefer a move to the B1G (as of now). At least the majority within Clemson do.

    - If The B1G does extend a formal offer, the SEC would have to move very fast on an offer or we will move to the B1G.

    - We are looking at this as there is greater upside to a move to the B1G; and greater downside to a move to the SEC.

    - We also feel that our move to the SEC would have less positive impact on the SEC than the negative impact if they lose us to the B1G.

    That's it for now. I can tell you this is from very high places.

    So to sum up: We are definitely moving; the GOR will not stop us; the B1G holds the cards: we prefer the B1G (as of now); but the SEC is not out of the equation; no offers have been extended.

    Teenage girl: "I'm leaving and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

    Parents:  "Where are you going to go?"

    Teenage girl: "Anywhere but here!  Tommy loves me we'll always be together!"

    Parents: "isn't Tommy and his family in Florida at Disney World?"

    Teenage girl: "Fine Tommy is a loser, I'll go live with Lucas in his doublewide!"

    Parents: "Doesn't Lucas live across town?"

    Teenage girl: "YEAH SO!?"

    Parents: "How are you going to get there?"

    Teenage girl: "IDK you're ruining my life!!!!!"

    There’s nothing there until the ACC cracks

    Sure, but I want the sec to stay at 16.  IMHO any larger and no extra $$$ what's the point?  UF/FSU already plays every year...  so what happens if they get in?  Do we only play them on rotation?  Does UGA go on rotation?  Expansion = POD talk not going away

    If SEC does expand I hope they keep their powder dry and get big time programs...  and even then, I'd prefer not.

    The dude swimming up to join the party is the best part, lol. I hope the white family goes to jail for a long time for starting it, and it's fair if some of the others who went beyond self defense are charged as well. 

    If this was in the Banana Republic of Florida, You're allowed to defend others from bodily harm with deadly force.  So coming over and dotting someone's eye is A OK with me.  Although I guess the chair to the head was more of a crossing the T.

    every single one of your racist mother fuckers had the exact same thought when you saw the black dude swimming across the harbor to the dock and you know exactly what it was...

     

    My thought was "Fuck, that dude is gonna be exhausted, he's going to get his ass kicked" 

    Followed by seeing him haul himself out onto the dock and then kick his wet shoes off... "man, I'd have taken the shoes off before diving in, but I also wouldn't want to be in a fight barefooted"

    After that, I was rooting for him, tired, barefoot, and soaking wet

    Probably because I'm way more out of shape than I am a racist

    I'm curious why you went to SD Fla instead of Dade County?  Did you ever go to Dade County?

    The feds really ought not be anyone's first stop for "reporting crimes" unless it's a very federal crime.

    Oh we went to everybody, started off with the city, then county.  There was an internet aspect to the case and all the local authorities kept pointing us up the ladder.  They were all like "Yeah this is an issue, but we just don't have the resources for that sort of thing."    IIRC the employee stole about $4mil. of inventory/service and sold them on ebay and other online venues.  The only reason they eventually were charged is that one E level exec wanted a scalp and didn't care what it cost.  Hence retaining outside counsel to help shop the case to law enforcement.

    Tax evasion was LABORIOUSLY laid out in a massive New York Times article. That alone should have spurred action by someone. I still don’t get why it didn’t. 

    The one time I dealt with Federal law enforcement I was gobsmacked that they ration their efforts because essentially there is more crime than they can prosecute given their resources.   We had evidence of a crime committed by an employee giftwrapped in a nice little bow.  I remember being in a meeting with our outside counsel and Southern District Attorney and they basically turned us down cold.  "This is Miami, I don't have time for anything under $10million dollars."  She went on to say that the case was clear but difficult to convey to a jury and that it would take too much of their time for too small of a result"   She suggested trying to get the FBI interested in ecommerce aspect of the case.

    tl/dr

    • Crime it up In Miami/Southern District
    • Keep it under $10mil
    • Make it too complex for a jury to understand easily
    • Profit

    I thought most winos just drank straight from the bottle.  But you did see people with Tbird passed out everywhere.

    Well, unfortunately it was my idea...  I was the guy that convinced others it was a good idea... and at the time it was.  I bought the all "wine". The RAs would write your ass up if they caught you drinking in the dorm (dry campus).  But our RA said to make sure he couldn't tell it was booze and it's all good.   So put the bottle in the bag like a wino and viola wino night.  Plus he wanted in too.   3rd Thursdays it was lit in Rawlings hall.  Ultimately it got too big, with kids from other dorms joining in, and we put the kibosh on it.

    My liver still hates me

    1. It's Thunderchicken
    2. It took all my will power not to Neg you

    We would occasionally have "wino" night at the dorm...  for $2.79 you were in, but you had to drink it out of a paper bag.  I swear this shit will effect your vision and everything will be hazy by the end of the evening.  The next morning would be like the apocalypse.  So hung over, people passed out everywhere, puke in the hall ways... /shudders

     Trump does not want to go to jail for any length of time. 

    His defense strategy is to delay everything until after the election so that if he wins he can pardon himself. In fact, the entire reason he's running is to avoid jail

    That's it.

    That's just a french benefit!

    He wants his ego stroked and to play at being a great man on the world stage.

    Didn't Gee write a really sad letter to fans about how they were still the better school after Florida curb stomped Ohio State and even that was wrong?

    Yup, IIRC he was also hinting that Florida and the SEC might be doing a little light cheating and that Ohio's players and coaches were held to a higher standard...  and on queue... tattoo/memorabilia gate & Tressel got canned.  Chef's kiss

    Yea.  Wish we had waited

    I'm pretty sure Texas could wrangle a PAC invite now if they wanted to.

    I don't think that Florida fans, or those of any other university in the SEC, feel deep comradery for other SEC schools.  I can't imagine, as a fan, traveling to another school and thinking "Ah, these are my people!"   Nope, I'm here to have a good time, see a great game in a cool environment.  If you need that sense of belonging I'd suggest crossfit. 

    That said, if you want to compare atmospheres in the SEC vs Big10, that seems like a way to go.  But the idea of having your, or your university's, credibility burnished or tarnished based on athletic opponents seem very myopic.  I feel like Delany during his time at Ohio St. was the one really pushing this narrative as a salve to soothe their losses, which as a Florida fan was quite funny.
