Yeah, I definitely miss those days. The home and home in b-ball was one of the best things about the ACC.
MD got lucky in the sense that Louisville had been a significant upgrade for the ACC up until the sanctions. Did MD ever pay the ACC the exit fee?
Absolutely.
The intensity of rivalries seemed much higher then.
Do fans still camp out for tickets like some (of us) crazy fans used to do?
I never found MD's fans to be that much more obnoxious than other schools' fans, and if I remember correctly, their message board was superb.
I'm from MD, and they were always my 2nd favorite team to root for in all sports. My 2 happiest college hoops moments were when Dixon and Baxter brought them a natty and when I was in Greensboro when Chill hit the tear drop. But Yow horribly mismanaged her athletic department, and yes, they felt they had to leave for a better pay day. Since then, they've been dead to me, much like the Colts were when Irsay moved them. I still root for the MD men and women in lacrosse, but I don't watch their football or hoops teams. Needless to say, the post-Dino era of Wake hoops and MD leaving the ACC have had a yuge negative affect on my enthusiasm for college sports. Thank god for VT football and what the good Buzz and Bennett have done for VT and UVA hoops, otherwise college football and hoops would almost be dead to me.
