This isnt rocket science. You can keep your second half collapses to NC State. I want the runs.[/quote]
You mean RUN, donât you? and yes, thats all weâve done over the last 20 years. One collapse to NCSU. ::)[/quote]
Sure. They came within a 3 at the buzzer from equaling our 1 and only tourney run. AND it happened after the Carter Administration.[/quote]
OK Cass, whatever you say. We suck, always have sucked and Davidson is virtually UCLA of the 60s. Iâm done.[/quote]
Well now youâre just being dramatic.
Look man. You get far to defensive about these things. Its perfectly reasonable to love the niners and be disappointed with our lack of tourney success. Its totally possible to love the niners and believe that other teams have had better post season success than we have.
Theres no need for you to get butthurt over this stuff every time.[/quote]
Seriously, butthurtâhow old are you? Iâm not âhurt at allâ. You seem a little more upset about it. If you truly believe that Davidson (not just âanyoneâ----many teams have better resumes than ours) has had better post-season success than us, thats your opinion. Just donât get pissy when not everyone agrees with you.
I donât give a shit if we play App or not in football. I had much rather play an established BCS school. Iâm all for playing Wake or Duke. Even if we play them at their place, it will be close enough for all of us to go. Not only will those games be winnable, but they will help OUR recruiting, not Appâs.
Wake doesnât like playing âlesserâ regional opponents. App owns their series with them, and Iâm pretty sure ECU does as well. How they got picked way back when to be in the ACC over some other schools is a mystery to me. No offense to anybody who may have a graduate degree from wake or anything like that.

Davidson was offered a spot when the ACC was founded. That should tell you all you need to know.
Do you know of anywhere I could research that? I think that would be very interesting. If you look at wake forestâs athletic history itâs truly nothing to bat an eye at. Before the ACC they were horrible, although they are the only school to win a Baseball National Title while a member of the ACC (fun fact). Just curious as to why they would get chosen?

The ACC was originally only in NC, MD, and SC. It added VA and GA (Georgia Tech).
It stayed in those four states until the 1990âs when FSU was added.

I went to most, if not all of the Wake/App games. Iâm pretty sure Wake won most of the games. With that said, App was close in most of them, Wake won a couple off controversial calls. This was Appâs âSuper Bowlâ for a number of those years and their fans filled almost half of Wakeâs stadium. The App fans I knew were pissed when Wake stopped playing them and stated Wake was afraid to play them. They were probably correct.
By the way wake plays/played Prebysterian. I would call them a regional lesser opponent. They have also played ECU a number of times, but I donât think I would consider them âlesserâ.

You both have points. If you simply look at NCAA appearances over the past 10 seasons then of course they have us beat. But the fact that they play in the Southern Conf is something you canât just ignore either.
If during that same time they had played in the Big10 conference instead, they probably never finish in the top half of the conference and would have zero tournament appearances.
By that same logic then Davidson is a better program than Notre Dame because of the Elite 8 season while ND only made the Sweet 16 over the past 10 seasons. Or theyâre a better program than Maryland because over the past 10 seasons theyâve made the big dance 5 times while Marylandâs only made it 4 times.
