Just wondering what occupied everyone's time prior to this whole expansion mess.......

Me: Chia Pets

Internet porn did the trick for me...

I can't remember when there hasn't been talk about expansion or splitting. These posts used to be part of the General Talk, but got moved when this board was created to specifically address these types of posts so that the General Talk could simply be about BE sports.

Cheers,
Neil

What Omni said. Take a look at the General Talk board, and you'll get a good idea what we normally discuss.

Expansion...since most knew the Big East wouldn't survive long-term with just 8 football programs stuck in a hybrid conf.

Omni, Cuseroc and KL all nailed it. Expansion has always been hot-button on the BE boards.

I'd rather talk about porn, though...

That's all we do is talk expansion or splitting. Don't remember anything else. The thing is we can talk about this all year and it never gets old even though it repeats itself every few weeks.

I think it was my b!tch!ng about all the expansion talk that got this forum created, if I remember rightly beej...

I've never liked discussing it, since we have absolutely no say in the matter. All it does is elevate my blood pressure for no good reason, mostly because of all the stupid comments I see from all the wannabees. The wannabees mostly spend their time posting dumb commercials for their schools, and knocking every other wannabee's school. I got sick of listening to all the childishness about it all. Many of the posts in this forum look like they came from pre-teenage kids, without the correct punctuation, spelling, or grammar they should have learned long before they got to college - before they were teenagers, like I did...

By the way, dude. I'm with you on the porn. Even us old farts can still appreciate good pornography...

Having our OWN posters constantly harping on it was bad enough - but you're right Bit - nowhere near our a lot of our "guests".

Funniest ones are those who insinuate the BE doesn't deserve a bid, then claim that their school is the all-encompassing answer to all of our problems There are actually not many of them, but enough of them that they are noticed.

Man we need a forum for posting porn vids. Only allow people in that are 18+ etc. lol... I know its not going to happen but just sayin

Before the raid we talked about how to dump Temple/get Penn St back and complained about Notre Dame not playing football

That's your exhibitionist tendencies leaking through, dude. You should be careful about that...

2 out of those 3 still get talked about. The only difference is that now people want to talk about getting Temple back into the conference, AFTER we worked so long and hard to get rid of 'em...
