If we get another "meeting canceleddidn't have the votes" I think I might lose my mind.

A meeting scheduled tonight with @theACC presidents to discuss the potential additions of @Cal, @Stanford and @SMU has been postponed following the on-campus shooting at @UNC today, The Athletic. The threat has since been cleared by campus officialshttps://t.co/zVnK6fKRaP

Sources: ACC presidents to meet on conference expansion on Monday night (yahoo.com)

And good luck

"The duo wishes to rebuild the Pac-12 already a tall hurdle that will be made more difficult without a brand like Stanford."

- hate how Cal is always discarded as an afterthought. We better bring something to the table over the next few years starting this year.

Don't worry Y'all we be fine you have a great school. And don't worry about FSU.( of as we say free shoes university) I really don't know a lot about y'all and Stanford I always thought the PAC10 was a good conference.
We have a hard time in recruiting when you tell them you have to take 3 years of calculus. Also, we lose players that graduate in 3 years. You will fine out most teams in the ACC have good fans. Maimi is a little deferent as they seem to fight with their own fans. (I
find this kind of funny)
I guess I'll have to watch your games on TV this year. Wish you and Stanford a great year and like to is Y'all finish 1 and 2 this year.

First Tech guy here (and when you get in the ACC which I hope you do Tech is Georgia Tech not that other school in Virgina they are VPI)

I really hope Stanford, SMU, and Y'all ( Cal ) get voted into the ACC. I'm not sure what the heck UNC and NC State are thinking so far. They don't vote the same way on anything.

Clemson I could see them coming around they really are good people. Great fans to tailgate with always nice.

As far as FSU I wish they would pay the money and go. They still are living in the Bobby Bowden days. Last year was the first year they had a winning record since 2017 and they were only 7-6 that year. (and they think they should get more money than the rest of the conference hell they should give part of their money back)
All the rest of the schools are fine good fans.

I know Y'all are sick of this thing taking so long.

And I get sick of the TV and sportswriters saying we are looking at the leftovers. I think all 3 are great schools who care about academics first.

I don't like to get someone's hopes up but the word we are hearing they will get all the presidents on the phone tonight ( and we will see if the vote tonight)

No matter what happens I wish Y'all and the other 2 schools the best of luck.

We finally got the last coach fired (he was a trip or clown) and have someone Brent Key ( past player as a new head coach so I'm feeling he will turn thing around for us, being a past player he knows what it takes the go to schoo; at Tech and play football, guess we will see Friday night.

Thanks stech81. When I was a lumber broker I had an account in Atlanta who sent me a program from one of your games. You may know that Tech and Cal share a similar song (different lyrics of course), and I drove by your stadium on a trip to Atlanta in the off season. Like Cal, your stadium is steeped in tradition, and I'm glad you haven't razed it in order to be "modern".

You also have some of the best lyrics ever in your main fight song:

" Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I'd dress her in White and Gold,
And put her on the campus, to cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do.
He would yell, "To Hell with Georgia!!!," like his daddy used to do."

The more I think about this the more excited and enthused I am. I think some coast to coast rivalries would be very interesting. As you pointed out, some of the institutions are heavy on academics. I think that makes for a nice fit. Tech has some really interesting football history too.

You may or may not know a rather infamous play came in a game between Cal and Tech in the 1929 Rose Bowl, when our Center, Roy Riegels, recovered a Tech Fumble and ran 65 yards for a touchdown.........in the wrong end zone!!! Cal lost that game 8-7.

Another interesting piece of trivia related to Cal and the ACC is that during World War 2, our beloved Rose Bowl was moved from Pasadena to Durham N.C. for fear of possible Japanese attack!

Your point about the Clemson fans has been mentioned many times to me. Their rugby team has become pretty good and has played some really good competition as well.

If this thing goes through, come out west and enjoy another old, great stadium, some fun history, and a great band!

"To Hell with Georgia!"

It's a weird thing. Stanford seems to have the bigger national brand and is discussed as such in the national media (probably helps that they have had more recent football success). But there are definitely more Cal fans local to the Bay Area and Northern California, as the attendance figures prove.

(Hence why it makes sense to invite both if you are going after the market.)

^^^ Our song to that tune has some similar lyrics and the various verses are fantastic, if a bit off-color... okay, very much off-color.

REPORT: The ACC is expected to expand its ranks tonight, but there’s only one spot available. Stanford is expected to receive it, and as a courtesy will kick off to Cal with 4 seconds left to make an offer. The Card can probably queue up the band in the endzone to celebrate.

Well, the Furd did have a bit more success over the last 10-15 years than our beloved Bears.
