I don't see how this conference is garbage, at least not in basketball, and not this year. Cincy lost to Harvard; big deal. Harvard is for real, most people knew that, and Cincy got upset. I doubt people think the Big XII is overrated just because OU got upset. Louisville is for real, I believe UConn and Memphis is for real, and I think SMU is a good team and will only get better.
No sense being the guy whose whole emotional life changes over the loss of a conference mate.

Being reasonable means you miss out on a lot of good joke opportunities, and bashing a team or conference is so generic it doesn't hurt anybody.

Stop being reasonable about being unreasonable in the service of a good punchline.

Tommy Amaker is a Gr8 coach...Give him lots of props with what he has been able to accomplish at Harvard. He was probably so upset over that lose to us a couple of years ago...That CINCY was doomed from the start.
Actually mentioned his name during our coaching search when we were left for dead in an alley with wolves and buzzards surrounding our fumes

We've already made peace with the OP, now we're just kidding around.

Last year, I heard he was a great coach, and Harvard had great players and ran great stuff. They then played us close. Apparently Cronin didn't get the memo.
I read somewhere that Cinci missed 17 dunks, putbacks, and layups. There's 34 gimme points. They really should have won the game.

Maybe our conference was hot garbage
