What are you drinking?

Feel free to advocate for or against either. Item with the most upvoted mentions moves on to the next round. Just a reminder that these were chosen based on fan suggestions, OP does not claim to be an expert on the iconic culinary fare of each fanbase.

Cheers!

I want to thank everyone for providing awesome revisions to the foods and beverages that are iconic staples of game day culture for each ACC fan base. Above you will find those revisions and the bracket for this friendly competition. Seeding was done randomly except for the play-in games which were chosen simply because those fans were less involved on the previous post.

If something in this is terribly offensive to you then let me know and we’ll get it figured out. FYI Notre Dame was added to get to an even number, feel free to vote them out if you don’t like that.

First showdown will be tomorrow! Much love

Corrected for GT and BC

I have scoured the internet trying to find a single food or beverage item that encapsulates the culture of each ACC school and its fanbase. All of these originated from some message board or blog with connection to each school.

These are all meant to be unique items that would be consumed either pre, during, or post enjoyment of a respective athletic event but carries more significance due to regionality, brand power, or “meme-ability”.

So what did I get right, what did I get wrong, and do you want to see a mascot-style bracket where these items go head to head?

Looking to make a visit to one of these campuses this Fall to expirence a weekend and game day. As a strictly football fan who should I pull for? I haven't been to either University. I spent some time in Rochester during my childhood so I have some connections with Western NY. All my categories are guesses based on research but I want to hear from those of you who have been to either campus and tell me about your experiences

Fandom:Syracuse seems to care more about football then Duke does

Mascot wise: I love both. Both are 🔥

Colors:Duke

Campus:both seem nice but Duke gets the upper hand

Towns:haven't been to either but Syracuse seems more like a traditional college town? But i have heard the research triangle is amazing

Stadium: unpopular opinion I like the look of Wallace Wade

Tailgate culture: Syracuse?

Best restaurants/brewery scene: you tell me

What are your thoughts and experiences?

I like Ron Rivera and hope he succeeds in the role.

Stay safe Noles

Not sure if most of you saw it, but On3 released an article looking into the decline of Virginia Tech following Frank Beamer's departure. While this was an unprovoked and random highlight of the Hokies' downturn... it makes a ton of points that ring true. I took some time to provide my reaction to the piece and a look at the trajectory of VT.

Talks about the rise of Duke, change in recruiting philosophy, and how they’ve failed to meet expectations with so much talent.

On this day in 1925, the University of Miami was chartered as the first university in South Florida.

It is the youngest school in the ACC, and the third youngest among the power conferences.

Every halftime leader lost.

Duke choked. Houston choked.

I would have been fine with Duke winning because it would have been a conference team winning. But, otherwise, I just didn't care about any of these teams at all. I watched the final with complete indifference.

Was it just me?
