Is it because they're better than your team?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Stop

If I said okay, would you believe me?......

 

[Deepelm]

🤣

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

🤣

It is funny because it's true.

 

[Deepelm]

It is funny because it's true.

Stay clueless little fella.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Stay clueless little fella.

Stay mad that I created a perfect split for the Big East teams plus several regional rivals.

You're welcome, big dog.

lmfao

Are you a Marquette fan?

 

[Deepelm]

Are you a Marquette fan?

Lol no.

 

[Deepelm]

I'll give you a hint. My team won by almost 50 today.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I'll give you a hint. My team won by almost 50 today.

And your women's team lost yesterday. Lol.

Now you have to disparage women playing sports as the default reply to deflect the insult I've thrown at a sports team of the school you root for................


Btw, I found that you were a UConn fan after some digging about 4 pages into your posting history.

You would've been better off not being a fan of any of these Big East teams.

Now you're gonna have to deal with being back in a conference with the following:

Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Boston College
Rutgers
Seton Hall
Villanova
Georgetown
St. John's
Providence

Crying about it is the default reaction of most fans of teams listed in my realignment threads, so you're par for the course on that as well, big dog.

 

[Deepelm]

And your women's team lost yesterday. Lol.

Not sure I can care less, but I'll give it a go.

You would've been better off not being a fan of any of these Big East teams.

Huh?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Not sure I can care less, but I'll give it a go.

Deflecting "I don't care about a woman's sports team" reply- check





P.S. Iowa > UConn (and I'm talking about the men now )

I mean, I dont, but OK.

Oh for sure. I just hope we get lucky and dont see you in the NCAA tournament.

1990s Big Central woulda been formidable w/ Crum Louisville & Huggins Cinci

 

[jwardelt]

Stop

Mind your gates damnit

 

[Deepelm]

Huggins Cinci

I actually got to see his team play against UNCC back when Kenyon was there. Even though they lost it was still a nasty team in person. It took an insane amount of threes from a little guard UNCC had to beat them.

If his team is UConn, yes. But I can speak for Syracuse when I say we’re better than nobody else. Just UConn. They’re like our little bro who we noogie and Dutch oven.

Other teams seem to struggle with them, so they win championships, which is weird. We haven’t figured out why other schools don’t smack ‘em around, yet.

On a serious note, I’d like to get the Big East back just for the rivalries. It’s tough to care if we beat NC State or Clemson or Wake. It was a shame the Big East didn’t get serious about football sooner. Nobody was happy when it died.

Hang those regular season banners little fella lmfao.

 

[brooky03]

Memories of you guys giving us your best and it just not being good enough are forever.

 

[Deepelm]

Again, hang those regular season banners lol. In the end the only stat that matters is 5>1. You would think that coaching the same team for 6,000 years you would win two, but, here we are.

Like I said, I don’t know why other teams don’t take you behind the woodshed like us. Good job beating not us.

It basically was the death nail for regionality in CFB and ultimately sports in general. It just was a slow death from there up until this year when everyone jumps ship and the Pac 12 finally dies.

Like I said, CBB should do its own thing as well, and get back to regional conferences that make sense. F*** catering to the players. Do what makes sense for your athletic programs.......all of them.

Traveling from Provo, Utah to Orlando, Florida for a conference game doesn't make any f***ing sense..........

That's why I included a revamped Big East and split some of the teams up to include more of their natural regional Rivals.

That's what's gonna draw fans in year-in and year-out.

They're not just droning sheep that are gonna keep showing up for a conference game between Boston College and Georgia Tech, what with their long and illustrious history and all.........................

The Big East and Big Central (name pending) provides major fan-favorite rivalries pretty much in every contest, AND you get them all twice in the regular season.

In revisiting this thread, I've come to the conclusion that not only is this super conference the right move for all the teams above (again JUST FOR BASKETBALL), but you could also have a really cool opportunity for a crossover conference tournament:

Either have the 11 teams from each conference play in their separate conference's tournament and have the winners meet in the Finals, or pair them together and you could have for example, the 6th place Big East team against the 11th place Big Central team to kick off the tournament.

The tournaments could alternate each year between New York and Chicago.

Big East/Big Central Super Conference Tournament (example, based on current team standings):

Bracket A (Games to be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY)

(Wed, 3/13 - First Round)
BE #8 Rutgers vs BC #9 Saint Louis
- winner to play BC #1 Marquette

BC #6 Cincinnati vs BE #11 Georgetown
- winner to play BE #3 Pittsburgh

BE #7 Boston College vs BC #10 Wichita State
-winner to play BC #2 Creighton

(Thu, 3/14 - Quarterfinals)
BC #4 Xavier vs BE #5 Villanova

8/9 vs 1 Marquette

6/11 vs 3 Pittsburgh

7/10 vs 2 Creighton

(Fri, 3/15 - Semifinals)
4/5 winner vs 8/9/1 winner

6/11/3 winner vs 7/10/2 winner

(Sat, 3/16- Bracket Finals)
----------------------------
Bracket B (Games to be played at Madison Square Garden in New York City)

(Wed, 3/13 - First Round)
BC #8 Louisville vs BE #9 St. John's
-winner to play BE #1 Connecticut

BE #6 Syracuse vs BC #11 DePaul
-winner to play BC #3 Memphis

BC #7 Notre Dame vs BE #10 West Virginia
-winner to play BE #2 Seton Hall

(Thu, 3/14 - Quarterfinals)

8/9 vs 1 Connecticut

6/11 vs 3 Memphis

7/10 vs 2 Seton Hall

(Fri, 3/15 - Semifinals)
4/5 winner vs 8/9/1 winner

6/11/3 winner vs 7/10/2 winner

(Sat, 3/16 - Bracket Finals)
-----------------------------
(Sun, 3/17 - Super Tournament Championship, at Madison Square Garden*)

Bracket A winner vs Bracket B winner


*champ location will alternate each year depending on city, for example:
2024- NYC, (MSG)
2025- Chicago, (United Center)
2026- Brooklyn, (Barclays Center)
2027- Chicago, (United Center)
2028- NYC
2029- Chicago
2030- Brooklyn
Etc etc
