Updated: Open Letter to the ACC

Blawnox, PA – Dear Friends,

Today is a great day for the University of Pittsburgh.  We are now all grown up and legitimate.  Being in the Big East felt like being the bastard child of the town slut and Eddie the use car salesman.  I mean, we knowingly associated with WVU.  Knowingly!  It’s been over a year since that ended and I still feel dirty.

ACC Extras

Filed under: ACC,Conference — Chas @ 12:28 pm

A couple other ACC/Pitt items.

If you live in Atlanta or want to road-trip for the Pitt-GT game, today is the day to buy tickets.

On the day that Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame officially join the Atlantic Coast Conference, Georgia Tech is making it lighter on the wallet to see two of those league newcomers in Bobby Dodd Stadium this fall.

The Panthers, Orange and Fighting Irish become official members of the ACC on Monday, a ceremony celebrated by the league office at an event in New York.

In recognition, Georgia Tech is offering a one-day-only sale of tickets to the Yellow Jackets’ home football games this fall against Syracuse (Oct. 19) and Pittsburgh (Nov. 2), Tech’s Homecoming opponent. The $15 cost per ticket signifies the 15 schools that now make up the ACC roster, and online sale of these tickets will last 15 hours, beginning Monday at 9 a.m.

Then the price goes back up to $40. Of course, I’m sure the gameday scalper prices would be reasonable. Still, if you like to plan ahead, this is a good deal.

Happy ACC Day

Filed under: ACC,Athletic Department,Conference — Chas @ 8:29 am

Found (thanks Spilly).

It’s official. The paperwork is complete. All faxed in to the home office. No give backs, ACC. You are stuck with us now.

Odd little visual quirk of this. ND, Pitt and Cuse all fit in alphabetically in one little group. And when Louisville comes in next year, they will be slotted right where Maryland was.

So we toast to the new ACC and pour one out for the old Big East.
