ACC Network issues


https://floridastate.forums.rivals.com/threads/the-disrespect-is-real.259438/




I’m certain they could’ve found one FSU team in the last 30 years to talk about. 

FSU Football
14 straight years ranked in the top 5
3 Championships
3 Heisman Trophy Winners 
A sh!tload of ACC Championships

FSU Baseball
40 years of 40 or more wins
A sh!tload of ACC Championships

FSU Ladies Softball NC
FSU Ladies Soccer NC
FSU Track NC
FSU Basketball


They didn’t think FSU had one of the top ACC moments?





For the sake of comparison:
SEC Network was announced in May 2013. First aired in August 2014 (a 15 month delay between announcement and start up).

The ACC Network was announced in July 2016. First aired in August 2019--a 38 month time gap.

Most every major carrier was signed on to carry the SEC Network before it was launched. Most of those carriage deals included the SEC Network in the base tier, especially in states with a SEC team.

The ACC Network has much limited carriage and in most circumstances, the carriage is on premium tiers.

ACC Network Launch Day: Packer and Durham Morning Show Will Anchor Daily Programming — From Mark Packer’s Basement

Although much of the hype building to Thursday’s launch of the ACC Network has been centered on the thousands of live events that will be produced by ESPN and the conference’s 15 member institutions, the network has a flashy lineup of daily programming to fill in the day-to-day.

The studio for ACC Network morning show Packer and Durham was built in the basement of the home of one of the show’s hosts.

One of the crown jewels of the network’s daily schedule will be its morning show, a simulcast of Packer and Durham, a popular radio program hosted by Mark Packer and Wes Durham, airing on SiriusXM, and talking exclusively college sports, specifically ACC sports.

You won’t find the studio for this show under an ESPN Radio tower or tucked away in the halls of DC2 in Bristol, CT, however. Instead, you’ll have to ring the doorbell of Packer’s Charlotte, NC, home and head down to the basement. That’s right. The basement.


The ACC-“It just means Less”

  1. Those "Top 5 Moments" lists were totally bogus. FSU taking down Auburn in the 2013 BCS Championship easily beats all of them except maybe Clemson's first natty over Alabama. Props to NC State for their huge upset natty in MBB, but those others can take a hike!
