For example, i note that 1 in 22 teams in the PAC and B12 are from CUSA while more than half in the Big East are, and you claim this enormous difference is "purely arbitrary"? That is beyond ludicrous. I suppose you think that if we are comparing the wealth of two people, and one has $1 million and the other $1,000, you would think that difference is merely "arbitrary" too? How asinine can you be?

Then, you blather further that Cincy and Louisville have been "brought up" for Big 12 consideration, as if this supports your position? Never mind that "brought up" doesn't mean the Big 12 has itself actually considered inviting them (we know they haven't actually invited them), and never mind that if the Big 12 invites them it would be inviting 2 Big East teams, not 2 C-USA teams. But apparently you see no difference between inviting a team that is currently in C-USA and inviting a team that is currently in the Big East and hasn't been in C-USA for a decade?

You are one big dumb homer.

More contradictions.

Now you're saying the Big 12 would really be inviting Big East teams, in UL and UC, instead of CUSA teams...

...and yet, you're counting them as CUSA teams, when you use their former conference affiliation to deride the Big East.

The funniest part is that USF (the school you claim to have attended) is a former CUSA program.

What's even funnier is that you imply that these programs are second rate, and yet you acquiesce that once they've been in the Big East for awhile they're fit to be in the upper echelon of FBS.

So, how can you possibly have anything against the new additions, who will be playing at the highest level once they've been indoctrinated into the league? Seems to me they'd meet that standard once they play in the Big East.

You are truly a piece of work, quo. LOL!

You have no idea what "contradiction" means. Hint: If the B12 invites USF, it will be inviting a Big East team. When the Big East invited USF, it invited a CUSA team. And saying so involves no contradiction whatsoever. Good Lord.

quo...let me give you some advice. When somebody doesn't agree with your opinion (probably happens a lot) please refrain from calling them "dumb" "idiots" etc. If you want to come on here and spout your ideas on brand, death and gloom about the Big East, and say things like Iowa has more basketball tradition and prestige than say, Cincinnati, that's fine, but when people don't agree with you on these things, will you please act like an adult and stop coming across like a 3rd grader? thanks.

I only resort to calling someone "dumb" or what have you once they have initiated that level of discourse. You can look it up. Otherwise, i address the arguments being made. But if somebody lies, what is wrong with calling them a liar? I don't see it.

FWIW, Iowa DOES have more basketball prestige than Cincinnatti. It's basketball program is worth more on the market than Cincy's.

OK, so I am relatively new to this forum but as a Memphis fan, I am well versed in people like this. Calipari coined a great term for them, "miserables", because these people are just miserable all the time. They are inherently pessimistic and when people disagree with their negative world view, they get argumentative. Personally, I just ignore them because I refuse to see everything in such a negative light because life is to precious and short to be miserable all the time. Just my 2 cents.

Might be an "honest evaluation", but his motivation for publicly stating it is as obvious as his callousness. As Lou Holtz once said, "burning your neighbor's house down does not make yours look better".

I'd say that depends on the neighbor and the house. I've seen some houses that would be much improved by becoming a pile of ash, and often their owner would improve society by becoming a small piece of that pile...

Well, you do live in Knoxville...

I've seen people and houses like that all over the world, dude. Knoxville doesn't have a monopoly on it...

This is specifically why so many people here can't stand you. You think you're above the rules, and you clearly think that you're allowed to make your own code here. You're not. It doesn't matter if you "don't see" what's wrong with calling someone "dumb" or a "liar." The AUP thinks wrong and the few of us here who still respect the AUP will call you out on that.

If you really "don't see" what's wrong with petty name-calling, perhaps you could start your own message board with a different AUP. Until then, you need to realize that you're not above the rules.

Weren't you the "dude" that liked to call me "she" for a while there?
Nothing petty or name-calling about that, eh?

Oh wait a minute, you probably just consider that kind of thing "witty sarcasm" and the like.

1. Way to dodge my post and my point completely.

2. This is not about me, it's about you.

3. I was told by about a dozen other posters via PMs that you were a female. Don't see how that's "name-calling" at all. If I said you were a "brain-dead whore" then yeah, that'd be name-calling. Saying "she hates the Big East" isn't name-calling.

4. You most definitely come off "that way" in your posting style.

5. If I said something you consider to be an AUP violation, go ahead and report that post. It's an easy process. I can guarantee that absolutely nothing of substance will come of it, but maybe it'll make you feel better.

6. My point still stands and you've demonstrated no interest in debating it. How refreshingly predictable of you.

2. This is not about me, it's about you.

You don't get to declare who our discussion is about. I noted your hypocrisy in calling me on being "petty" when you have done the same with your "she" references about me. The fact that you try to explain that away instead of copping to it just shows that you have no interest in having an honest, above-board discussion about my transgressions, which makes your complaint #6 about my unwillingness to honestly debate or discuss this with you hypocritical as well.

Here's another chance: Admit your "she" references were petty name-calling, and you will have credibility here. But until then, i have no obligation to directly and honestly address your complaints.

Folks enough. I'm getting tired of reffing the fights you're at the center of quo. I like that you play devil's advocate, but you need to use the ignore list to ignore people you get into pissing matches with. And those who know they can't handle what he says need to do the same with quo. That being said quo you need to be the bigger man here and not resort to name calling.

TEXAS has driven more programs away (see Mizzou, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Colorado) than it has kept together. They have ruined two conferences. That is not a model to aspire to.

More schools have left the BE than have left the Big12....Who is driving them away in the BE, is it alpha male MSG? Should we all asprire to a model with two school bunches thousands of miles away from each other. To associate with schools like SMU that get 1k in attendance for BB games and 10k for football games? Or a conference with BB only schools, football only schools, and all sports schools, none of which ever agree on anything?

You trying to convince us, or yourself?

FWIW, Iowa DOES have more basketball prestige than Cincinnatti. It's basketball program is worth more on the market than Cincy's.

Once again you have a reading comprehension issue...please note I said basketball tradition...somehow you translate that to current market value. When dealing with what I'm talking about, TRADITION you use things like ncaa wins, final fours, all americans, etc. and stat show that Iowa bball can't hold Cincy JOCK STRAP in this area...so please stop changing the argument or just admit you don't understand the difference between TRADITION and current brand or market value. As for you saying Iowa has more market value than Cincy today...that is itself debateable....and I would say you are wrong here as well.

I will give you a brownie point however for not calling me dumb....nice job Quo

Yea this had to be closed...on the SMACK BOARD of all places!!!
