No one was out of line. I didn't mean to even imply that if it was read that way.

As long as folks were sharing opinions, though, my own was that when "Our school's plane was parked near Louisville all afternoon" immediately turns into a "your school sucks" pissing match, that's pretty indicative of someone having issues.

The person closest to that was laureleagle.

nope, just stating the fact that temple football is really really REALLY bad.

Out of line.

"just the facts ma'am"

Of course. It may mean something or it may not, but under the circumstances, isn't the presence of an AD's charter plane in Jurich's back yard at least worth mention?

My goodness, there are 5+page discussions on this board about what somebody heard from some unknown source about something that may be happening. That a matter of public record is immediately met with a snicker or three is kinda peculiar.

How else could one interpret the statement that a FCS school has a better chance at an invitation?

When did Jurich become The BEast commish? I never knew he had any such power...

Market size... location... lots of things. USM has a good program, has for a very long time. Unfortunately they are in a small city in a bad location for this conference. Simple as that.

That being said... I want this pissing match to stop now. I'm closing this thread.

I'm tired of all the tearing down of each other's school... at the end of the day nobody here is making any decisions on Big East expansion, so bitching on here is just ridiculous.
