Live from Tampa: Tech goes for a title in a windy setting

Because nothing says ACC football like a pirate ship. (Photo by M. Bradley)

The ACC motto: Nothing says college football like a pirate ship in the end zone. (Photo by M. Bradley)

Tampa — The ACC tried Jacksonville. Didn’t work. Then it tried here. Hasn’t worked. Next year it tries Charlotte. Probably won’t work.

The ACC has this problem. It wants to be seen as a big-time football conference but lives cheek-by-jowl with the big-time football conference. The SEC championship game — the granddaddy of such events, at least in the upper tier of college football — dwarfs all else. Best teams, loudest fans, nicest setting. (Atlanta, Ga., thank you very much.)

The ACC expanded to 12 teams in 2005. Its first title game — between Florida State and Virginia Tech — drew 72,749. Last year’s title game — staged here, in the stadium rigged out with the pirate ship — drew an actual crowd of 27,360. (Nearly twice that many tickets were sold.) Tonight’s game between Georgia Tech and Clemson will do better than that because these schools are much closer to Florida than were Boston College and Virginia Tech, but nobody is predicting a sellout.

Raymond James Stadium has a pirate ship — and it’s a cool pirate ship, I must say — but it also has an inherent drawback: It lacks a roof. And if you’re going to play a football game outdoors in December, even on the Gulf Coast of F-L-A, it would behoove you to control the climate. Especially if your target audience is a conference that isn’t exactly the essence of football fandom. (Basketball is another matter, but the ACC has long been really good in basketball. And most basketball games are staged indoors.)

Just for fun, I checked the weather in Charlotte as of 5 p.m. Saturday — 42 degrees with a 70 percent chance of rain. Bank of America Stadium, the next home for this wayfaring event, is likewise open-air. Ouch, babe.

It had rained for several days here, but the rain ceased this morning. Now it’s just gray and windy. (The Dunedin boat parade was canceled today because of the wind, FYI.) Temperature was 57 degrees at 5 p.m. and was expected to drop into the 40s by the time the ACC anoints its champ. Mercifully, there was only a 10 percent chance of rain.

OK, you’re saying: “This is football, dude, and football is supposed to be played outdoors come Hades or high water!” My reply: The ACC is largely a Southern-based conference. We Southerners aren’t used to sitting and shivering. And if you’re neutral wondering if you should pay money to go watch Tech and Clemson play in Tampa — heck, even if you’re a Tech or Clemson fan — you might feel more inclined to trot out the credit card if you knew you weren’t going to be miserable throughout.

And there’s the ACC’s biggest problem: The only real alternative stadium from Boston to Miami that bears a roof is the one already booked this weekend. The Georgia Dome is exactly what the league needs, but the SEC got there first. And the SEC loves the Dome. And the feeling is mutual.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney  suggested Friday that the ACC might pair its title game with the SEC championship in Atlanta, which would make great good sense. Reps from the conferences already oppose one another in both the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic and the bowl formerly known as the Peach, and those games do sellout business. (And Atlanta is, by dint of Tech’s location, technically an ACC city.)

But would the ACC ever want to play alongside Big Brother? Would it want its status as the JV league underscored with a side-by-side comparison? In an ideal world, no. But the first five installments of the ACC title game haven’t been ideal. The event needs a lift. The Dome would supply one. I say try it.

And with that, I’ll open the floor to comments, questions and venue suggestions. I’ll be here until Tech wins — I say the score will be 31-27 — and even if it loses. Join me, won’t you?

Mark I’m shocked that you are in Tampa at this late hour.

Of course I’m referring to the ACC’s decision, to give this game a venue more commiserate with its status, relocating the game to a casino in Biloxi, Mississippi as part of the undercard for the Larry Holmes-Trevor Berbick rematch.

I know Holmes-Berbick will be on the Versus Network; will they show the Tech-Clemson game as well as part of the telecast, or do we have just you to rely on?

Why can’t the ACCCG be played at the home of the higher-ranked team? It may not be the perfect solution, but it would likely solve the game’s chronic attendance issue.

As for the weather, the game of football was made to be played in less-than-perfect conditions.

THWG!

Mark, HOW windy is it? Windy enough for Parker to throw a few picks?

I’ve been saying it for …. 4 years: If ATL can handle the multiple-event / same venue / same day chaos that the Olympics provided in 1996, surely we can do the same with the ACC / SEC. Bama and Auburn did it in the old days at Legion Field (when it seated 72,000); Auburn vs. Ole Miss at 1:00; Bama vs. MSU at 7:30.

Charlotte will be a disaster, but the idiots in Greensboro haven’t figured that out yet. Swofford needs to be kicked out, and the ACC needs to hire …

Gary Stokan as the new Commish.

That will fix things.

Funny you should mention that Mark. Turns out Holmes will be attempting to jump over the Ramblin’ Wreck at halftime.

Still not sure what the fuss is about the SEC Title Game at the Dome. Don’t people know the ACC champion has a date in the Dome next week? Of course that’s because the ACC champion has an automatic bye into the Class AAAA championship.

Atlanta can handle both games. And with the College Football Hall of Fame coming here next year, it makes all the more sense to be the home of college football and both the ACC and SEC conferences .

Atlanta still is the Mega City of the South – let’s make the party even bigger

It isn’t a big deal if Tech wins, at least according to CPJ. If UGA “hasn’t won anything since 1980″, then he doesn’t think SEC titles are a big deal. And Techaroonies, if an SEC title doesn’t constitute “winning something”, then an ACC title certainly doesn’t. ( I don’t think CPJ really means that, but it was a classic “sour grapes” comment that I will harp on for a while). Good luck Techsters.

LOL GTFan, talking about UGA fans on a Tech blog… considering every UGA blog this year contained countless Tech fans harping on that 45-42 win from last year. But hey, it’s all in good fun. That’s what makes rivalries so great/maddening.

SEC Championship is sold out…tickets on E-Bay going for over 1000 bucks….the game is a classic already….all SEC fans are watching regardless of who their favorite team is…winning the SEC means something (usually a trip to NC Game).

I bet anybody stupid enough to buy tickets to the ACC Championship in hope of scalping them is looking for a bailout about now!

The ACC is really, really down this year when tech is in a “championship” (sorry I laughed a little) game. Things should get back to normal next year when VT, Miami and FSU start winning again. It appears that everyone has figured out the gimmick offense now. It felt so good knocking the nerds out of the top 10. It looked like a mispring when they were there. 30-24!

There’s some kind of concert going on outside the stadium. (Country-fied, from the sound.) Tailgate presence was low-key when I got here, but I got here really early. And traffic was starting to back up even then.

ON a related note, Erin Andrews just walked onto the field. Wearing kind of a black poncho/shawl thing.

Meanwhile...CWM's future well preserved

December 5th, 2009
6:33 pm

That you did CWM. I heard the other day the Georgia band was practicing when an insect started buzzing around the band room during practice. A tuba player picked up his sheet music and swatted it.

“Bee?” a bandmate asked
“Bee flat,” he replied.

Still I note for all the ridicule of 30-24 I’ve got to imagine, though they can’t say it, that Swofford and company are pulling for Tech.

How do you market your conference when your marquee team has four losses, and occupies the bottom half of the Top 25?

This Techie thinks that Charlotte is the best locale for the game. BUT, I also think the indoor thing is valid. Army/Navy is next week. Is it possible to hold off one week and play following everyone else (or would that just be disrespectful to the service acadamies)?

What is wrong with playing this game on a Thursday night since the ACC plays Thursday nights all the time anyway? I know that Saturday is preferred but if you move the game to Atlanta, this may be the way to go. The ACC game will take 10 to 15 more years to establish itself. The SEC has been doing this a lot longer.

30-24…ouch, you beat us! And all you can do is trash talk on a blog while your teams sits at home…cry me a river. If you think for a second shouting 30-24 bugs us when we’re looking at a 12-2 record…if UGA went 12-2 but one of the losses was to Tech would it matter? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! I love this one the most…REALLY? NERDS? We know we’re nerds you moron. Is that the best you can do? Most of us are proud of it too. That’s like calling UGA fans rednecks. Try something original.

I can report that the crowd tonight will not be an embarrassment. It won’t be full, but there will be upwards of 45,000 here. Maybe 50,000.

Mostly orange, though. I was thinking there’d be more Tech people. Not that I did much research out and about the town.

I’ve been reading on the blogs all week about how the ACC Championship Game is unimportant … that no one will attend and no one will watch. It will be interesting to see how many Dog fans are on the blogs tonight … especially if Clemson takes a lead. I have a strange feeling that the game in Tampa may suddenly become the most important game of the day for them.

I also hear that the ACC has invited Simon and Garfunkel to perform at halftime.

Baba … I’m with you … if Spiller has been playing all year with turf toe, why can’t Ryan play? Spiller’s job would arguably be more difficult with a toe injury, since he has to make sharp cuts at high speeds … and his high speed is definitely in a different gear than Matt Ryan’s.

Congrats to CPJ being 4-2 overall vs. the SEC, though beating Miss. St. and Vanderbilt twice each isn’t really setting the world on fire. Yes, impressive comeback win vs. UGA last year, but the Dawgs quickly rebounded this year at Bobby Dodd Stadium (aka. Sanford Stadium West with all of the Red and Black in the stands).

And what was that LSU score again last year????

I understand they’ve put a Pitino plaque on a booth in a restaurant on Brownsboro, but that’s just a rumor.

Only in Kentucky could a basketball coach admit to having an affair with an assistant’s wife and not for one moment did anyone think he would be fired. Not only that, but she’s taken ALL the heat.

You know the ones that actually graduate from school and support it both finacially and by attending athletic events. Your attendance at your leagure championship should be exiting and a great opportunity to support your team and show the rest of the country on national tv how excited and proud you are to support tech, instead you sell 8700 tickets for your leagure championship while clemson sells over 30000.

I will say that for the students it’s finals week and since you probably never attended college you wouldn’t know about that kind of stress. Personally, why does it matter how many fans travel? Does having 90,000 at Samford every Saturday help the Dawgs win games. No way. Support your Dawgs but stop bringing down the Jackets in the process. Get a life and get off the Tech blogs.

Just because neither team turned back any of the 14,000 alloted tickets, it doesn’t mean they sold them either. My guess is that there’s a trash can full of tickets in the coach office.

The terrorist, although serious, was an isolated case. GT just doesn’t have those types of things happen with anywhere near the frequency with which it happens over at UGA. Seems like we are hearing about serious crimes in Athens several times each season, and it has been that way for years.

To be completely honest their isnt a such thing as an up and coming program as long as their in the ACC. Also, the only reason us UGA fans are on here is because we had to listen to you guys because you won once in 8 tries last year so we are returning the favor so suck it up and take it like we did last year because its not goin away anytime soon until you win again.

Why can’t Paul teach his players to cover a kick off so they don’t give CJ spiller the ball at the 40 every time? We need to quit playing prevent defense and try and get within ten yards of the receivers too.
