You are free to express your opinions however you see fit. Just as I am free to then psychoanalyze you based on them.

Called it! LOL I knew this was going to happen. This one can't be pinned on the Cardinal fans though, the OP should have known better.

Listen, I could careless about your fanbase. I grew up in NYC, on the big east, BE basketball was religion in our house. Ive been to the tournament and saw Alonzo Mourning, Billy Owens battle. I've been a fan of the Anthony Avents and Terry Dehere, I watched Rick Pitino coached Billy Dovovan and providence to the final four. I just missed the Mark Jackson and Patrick Ewing era but my father spoke of it like it was the mission to the moon. I lived and breathed this conference growing up. I've watched and cheered for this league when Louisville was playing in some rundown stadium on a dirt field ( according to Tom Jackson). You guys make a couple of nice bowls and all of a sudden you're too good for the league.

I for one was happy when you guys got invited to the league and genuinely cheered for you guys. I rooted for you guys against Miami and Kentucky. I called Petrino a traitor like the rest of you when he left. I hated the Kragthorpe era as much as you guys and I cheered when you guys hired Charlie Strong. Until this year, I rooted for louisville to do well as I did for every other BE team. But as I've said, i'm from NYC, we value loyalty and respect, and there is a sense of pride here you won't find in many other cities. We stand up for our own against all others and once you attack one, you're the enemy of all. This city is fiercely loyal, its in our blood. So when your fanbase start bashing the league after we gave you a bigger stage and brighter spotlight it a slap in the face to all the fans who root for this conference. And to so openly bash the conference when you guys did nothing for 3 years to help, you failed to see your contribution to the state the conference is in. And then after a 7-6 season, all of a sudden you're better than everyone else? Enjoy whatever success you're having now, as the Kragthorpe era shows, cellar dweller is just a bad coaching hire around the corner.

Look I stopped reading your post after the first sentence,because it's obvious that you do care about the Louisville fan base or you wouldn't have made this thread.

I chose to ignore your so called psychoanalysis because its severely flawed by the very nature of the reason we are all here. We are fans of something. You louisville and me the big east. To call me clingy because I don't root for teams who left the conference misses the point of being a fan. Take for instance the louisville fan base who cheered and laughed at the embarrassing situation Bobby Petrino found himself in, is that clingy or is that being a fan of louisville and seeing karma come back on him. Or what about the message board trashing on Demarcus Smith when he decided it was "a business decision" or Ace Wales or The kid who decided to go to USC because he " didn't a lame degree." Or those who follow these recruits or players on facebook and twitter. Most fans root for their team and against opponents , I don't make it personal. I grew up on the big east, I root for the big east and I root against teams left or people who put down the big east.

I never make it about an individual. I don't root for players to get hurt, I don't personally attack opposing players or players from other conferences, and it gives me no joy when players from other teams in other conferences make the news for something other than their athletic ability.
I genuinely felt sorrow for what happened at VT and my heart went out to Bill Stewart and his family when he passed. See, so you psychoanalysis is completely off base. I am a perfectly healthy and well adjusted fan. Compare to the people in KC cheering Matt Cassell's injury or fans on message boards who think that every other program in the country run a safe haven for thugs and criminals except their own and delight at opportunities to knock other teams players as less than perfect human beings.

Secondly, there are delusions of grandeur at Louisville, to hear many on your fans talk you would think you were Alabama or even USC. And wait, I thought the majority of the state got up for horse racing and delighted in being known for that. Sorry, will never call you guys the horse racing capital of the world again.

Thank you for being honest. I will leave it at that because I don't really know how to respond to that without seeming like a complete jerk. I have nothing against individuals on this board but I have a problem with such a large segments of your fan base bashing the conference. And I may be wrong it may not be such a large segment but a minority who has a very loud voice but it comes across louder than those who support the league

Do I have this correct?

Oh I see, when UofL pulls a "Kragthorpe" they get a pass, but when someone else does they haven't contributed.

I only want the same consideration as everyone else. You, and many others, keep saying STFU because we sucked on the football field the last few years, ignoring the fundamental strength of our athletic department.

Now you are complaining when I shine that same spotlight on your program. So, which is it? Are recent results in the major sports the only important measure of conference contribution or not?

Pick one and stick to it. I'm getting whiplash keeping up with the flip flopping. Or is it possible that you are a flaming hypocrite? Or maybe just too slow to recognize a double standard when you see one?

Said the fan of the school that doesn't even participate in football.

Can we at least make it a rule that fans of non-football schools keep their traps shut instead of being critical about football playing schools? Thank you.

Even with only 6 scholarship players last year we still put a kid in the NBA and he wasn't even the freshman of the year in the league (that kid is coming back to us this season).

It sucks when your basketball team sucks. It really sucks when your basketball team sucks worse than a Kragthorpe coached Louisville football team. That's like the ultimate suckitude. Condolences.

So, I'm confused. You are defending your teams recent lack of success while attacking ours. Tell me again, is this in or out of bounds?

(10-08-2012 09:16 PM)NJRedMan Wrote:  All I really have to say is that you are currently in our greatest contribution to the conference. The league itself is our legacy.

Huh. Here I was thinking the whole thing belonged to Providence. I guess I didn't get the memo. Do you have your notarized title available for inspection?

(10-08-2012 09:16 PM)NJRedMan Wrote:  How did it go when you guys tried to start a league? You thought you were better than everyone else and didn't want to share money and the league never got off the ground. Looks like three decades later you guys still have the same arrogance that doomed the Metro Conference.

You do realize that Va Tech, South Carolina, and Florida State were in that conference right? And you do realize they did NOT want to share any of their football money right? Why would Louisville commit to sharing basketball money in a Metro conference, where none of the football powers were on board to share their football money? Explain that one to me.

Also, it was still viable to be an independent in football. You can look at some of our football schedules from that era, Temple, Pitt, Penn State, WVU, etc. None of those schools were in a conference either. I guess they sucked too? Seriously, none of them could measure up to St. Johns, right?

We were unique in that we made boat loads of money with basketball, so we didn't have to be in a football league. When the age of independents came to a close, we were successful in our first and only attempt at starting a football playing league, as we were a founding member of C-USA. And we then shared our basketball money with our new conference mates, just like a good conference mate does. Houston, SMU, and UCF can thank us next year as they join the nBE.

St. John's obviously existed on a higher plane of reality. The plane then known as TFPC, the Friends of Providence College. May I touch the hem of your robes?

hahahahahahahaha You gotta love people who can't win the argument so they have to resort to the "Well your schools doesn't even play football" line.

You resorted to "UC's uniforms are ugly" so you have no room to talk.

Yeah but no one has ever said we were Alabama or USC. So don't put words in our mouths and don't provoke us with silly comments about our fanbase. You started it with your little jab in the original post and now you're getting your azz handed to you and are trying to seem like the good guy. Save it.

So, who are you trying to impress? Are you suggesting that historically, St. Johns would rank ahead of Louisville as a basketball power. Cincinnati? Syracuse? Connecticut (even on only 20 years at the top, they still rank higher). Georgetown? Villanova? Marquette? By nearly any unit of measurement, they all rank higher. Yes you are in the top ten all time in wins. Temple has more than St John's, so are they historically better that St. John's? Western Kentucky has a better winning percentage: are they better? Pennsylvania is also int he top ten: how do they rank?

I actually rooted for Arkansas under Petrino, no hard feelings and all that. I'm sure there are some Louisville fans who could use some psychoanalysis over that situation. Just because there are psycho Louisville fans, doesn't mean you ain't psycho. Just sayin'.

It's not about Louisville's delusions of grandeur, it's just that some folks don't like being confronted with Louisville's ambition.

Get over it already.

I actually rooted for Arkansas under Petrino, no hard feelings and all that. I'm sure there are some Louisville fans who could use some psychoanalysis over that situation. Just because there are psycho Louisville fans, doesn't mean you ain't psycho. Just sayin'.

You are one of the most passive aggressive posters around. You disparage folks' group affiliations, knowing that they will be offended, and then try to claim that it's nothing personal.

Dude! Bigotry IS personal! And your protestations otherwise are lame.

Whatever. Don't try to claim your aren't more than a little obsessed about it though. One could even say clingy.

I don't think I ever said or implied that you did.

Welcome to humanity. Though, we'll have to agree to disagree about the "perfectly healthy and well adjusted" part.

Some folks are bat $h!t crazy. How is this news?

It has always been thus. The old money doesn't like the ambitious new money. It's like what the English nobility used to say, "We don't talk about money. We just have it."

It's not about Louisville's delusions of grandeur, it's just that some folks don't like being confronted with Louisville's ambition.

Get over it already.

We don't think we are Alabama or USC. We plan to be BETTER than Alabama and USC. We WILL have the glory, without the cheating.

Why are you threatened by ambition? Any Louisville success takes nothing from you.

See. This is just more of your passive aggressive BS. I'm not supposed to take it personally though, right?

1. Football...2011 BIG EAST Co-Champion with UC & WVU...currently undefeated and in the AP & Coaches Poll Top 20 & the highest ranked team from the BIG EAST in both polls.
2. 2011-2012 BIG EAST Tournament Men's Basketball Champion & 2012 Final Four...Co-Favorites with Indiana according to Vegas to win the 2012-2013 Men's Basketball Title.

It is what it is...get over it.

Im sorry, but that "co-championship" really isn't that impressive to me. It keeps getting thrown around by UofL fans but a 7-6 season is not one to celebrate or brag about.

Don't care if it impresses you or not...fact is the BIG EAST gave Louisville, Cincinnati & West Virginia BIG EAST Football Championship Trophies...we split the 1st place $$$$ evenly with our 5-2 BIG EAST Record in 2011...it was 1-1 record between the 3 schools with Louisville being the last team to beat WVU in about a year in Morgantown & we are the highest rank team in the Current & Future BIG EAST in 2012 & unbeaten.

Don't like it...get over it...juz sayn.

You were 7-6, stop bragging, get over it...juz sayn

You can brag when you got a BIG EAST 2006 & 2011 Championship Trophy regardless of overall record and especially against a fan of a school that has never beaten the current Football coach.

Call us 7-6 or whatever....we won something twice that a "Original Member" has never won...maybe next time you are in for a game just visit the Schnellenburger Complex and you will see what a BIG EAST Football Trophy Lokks like...both the 06 & 11 versions...juz sayn
