Everyones brought something to the table. A lot of solid programs in this conference.

Why cant we leave it at that. Why do you and shere have to instigate? Why does everyone else so easily fall into the reactions these two want.

Why bash some schools for having, relatively, down years? Why bash the other schools because they havent seen this kind of success all that recently?

I couldnt be happier for Memphis and Houston. Having years like this build fanbases and national respect. It all makes for more interesting matchups in the future. All this year does is show that darn near every program here has the ability to have strong programs, you just need the right coach.

You all say this was brought on by the arrogance shown by some when the American started... well why not end it here. This whole thread is exaustingly idiotic, on both sides.

I sold my house on Tuesday. There will be a party Saturday night. You're invited.

It chaps my arse the way the former big east fans acted when we joined now those goobers can't even get ranked. I'll always be thankful to UCF for sending louiseville out on their arse the one year they were here. Now those bums aren't even in the top 25 and our schools have kicked acc arse on a regular basis.

Again, that and our TV contract won't get you much.

What the conference needs is a lot more eyes watching on TV.

It's not about on the field, it's about money. Try and keep emotion out of it, its business.

If it were just a business those schools would be ranked and beating us 45-0. It's sports and it's full of emotion. When it becomes just business I am finished with it.

Like it or not, those old BE schools were talking to the ACC and Big 10 years before any of the latest realignment took place.

They were building relationships and future business partners. It's a business.

If the basketball tourney shows you that non-power schools can compete, I don't know why you think football would be different.

It just seems silly to get emotional about 20 year old kids playing while the people in charge are playing a different game (the one that really matters).

RE: Remember the Big East football conference?
The old Big East repeatedly won BCS Bowls and did so against Champs from the Big 12, SEC and ACC. The Old Big East consistently had top flight records in bowl games and were consistently over .500 against other BCS conferences. Hating on the old Big East just shows how ignorant many of you are about football.

Am I impressed with what Memphis is doing the last two season, you bet. Its amazing. Was UCF winning a Fiesta bowl a good thing, absolutely. It added a ton of credibility. Temples rise is unexpected, but I was actual a vocal proponent of adding them.

Heres the rub. Now you will get to face the issues that the Big East had. I seriously doubt Memphis and Temple will have the same coaches within a year. Cincinatti in the last 10 years has only had 1 season where they didnt get at least 8 wins. Uconn has won two basktball national championships, and even more womens bball championships during that time. Cincis basketball has made the ncaa tournament almost every year for the past decade..... thats a level of consistancy that none of the newcommers can claim.

So now a few of you have risen up and are doing amazingly well, which is outstanding.... but what happens when your coach leaves. Can you be cinci? They lost Dantonio, who is considered one of the best coaches in the NCAA, then they got Kelly, who is also one of the best, then they went to Jones..... and kept winning.

The real question and proof that is needed is coming. For all the saber rattling of the new teams to the "old big east" the truth is that your one or two year up tick doesnt mean a damn thing and being arrogant about it only shows that you havent been here before. You have yet to be able to sustain success and until you do, I find it hillarious that you try to bash the very teams that made the foundation of the conference. You really think there would have been an American Conference without Cinci and Uconn?
If Louisville and Cinci had gone to the Big 12 and Uconn to the ACC, every one of you would be in CUSA (or MAC). Its mind boggling how quickly some of you go from being a joke to having a good year and become ridiculously arrogant without even thinking about the history or considering that 1-2 years doesnt prove crap... ask UCF. They are the poster child for what happens.
What will your tune be if you coach is hired away and next year you miss even making a bowl.... cause Cinci hasnt had that happen but ONCE in their last three coaching changes. Say what you will, they may not be at their absolute peak right now, but Id take a decade of 8-10 win seasons over 2 years of doing pretty well and being damn near last place all the rest.

Actually, Id give my left ball just to get back to making bowls. Cinci and Uconn are the foundation of this conference. Remember, there is exactly ONE team in this conference with national championships earned in this decade.

How many of these "newbies" are doing that? You spit a whole book out talking about said programs replying to 1 guy lol?

Show me 1 Old Big East team that has been in the American longer than the teams you're talking about. Also, a USF fan talking about History? You guys got the invite because of where you're located and the Big East losing Miami. Don't act like you earned anything...

Can you read? He didn't mention USF at all. 07-coffee3

What bcs bowl games did big east teams repeatedly win . Miami won, west virginia won, Louisville won a couple. Every other school got its arse kicked in the bcs. UCF has more bcs wins than all the big east schools combined other than the three listed above.

Why do you think the conf fell apart.

RE: Remember the Big East football conference?
Old Big East Football (2005 - 2013) was always entertaining and competitive. There were some outstanding coaches in the league during these times (Rich Rodriguez, Bobby Petrino, Charlie Strong, Mark Dantonio, Brian Kelly, Butch Jones, Jim Leavitt, Dave Wannstedt, Greg Schiano, Randy Edsall, Bill Stewart), and tons of quality NFL prospects (too many to count).

The intensity of the Big East basketball brands definitely carried over into the football games. I think it's a big reason why the programs were so competitive every year.

RE: Remember the Big East football conference?
We lose one BCS bowl to an NFL laden roster led by Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow in his last collegiate game ever while we were without a chunk of our coaching staff including BK... And this one blowout loss means we got blown out in both our BCS bowls. Im so f!cking sick of that tired line.

We lost to VT. Got crushed by Florida. But lets continue to be unreasonable, shall we.

The intensity of the Big East basketball brands definitely carried over into the football games. I think it's a big reason why the programs were so competitive every year.

C'mon man. Wannstach and Stewart? Outstanding coaches? C'mon man.

Hating on the old Big East just shows how ignorant many of you are about football.

What bcs bowl games did big east teams repeatedly win . Miami won, west virginia won, Louisville won a couple. Every other school got its arse kicked in the bcs. UCF has more bcs wins than all the big east schools combined other than the three listed above.

Why do you think the conf fell apart.

Big East in BCS Bowl Games (8-7):

January 2, 1999 FedEx Orange Bowl No. 8 Florida 31 No. 15 Syracuse 10
January 4, 2000 Nokia Sugar Bowl (National Championship) No. 1 Florida State 46 No. 2 Virginia Tech 29

January 3, 2002 Rose Bowl (National Championship) No. 1 Miami (FL) 37 No. 2 Nebraska 14
January 3, 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (National Championship) No. 2 Ohio State 31 No. 1 Miami (FL) 24 (2 OT)
January 1, 2004 FedEx Orange Bowl No. 9 Miami (FL) 16 No. 7 Florida State 14
January 1, 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl No. 6 Utah 35 No. 21 Pittsburgh 7

Other Conference BCS Bowl Records:

SEC: 17-10
P12: 13-8
B12: 10-12
B1G: 13-15
ACC: 5-13

MWC: 4-1
WAC: 2-1
MAC: 0-1
Notre Dame: 0-4

The version of the Big East that Cincinnati joined (2.0) didn't have some the Big East's biggest winners.

Nah Miami got the hell out. Every time a team got decent they got the hell out. Then they started getting their asses kicked.

Lol. Pathetic.

Maybe cincy will do us al a favor and beat houston.

Big east power conf. Lmao.

RE: Remember the Big East football conference?
Stewart was given an unfair shake at WVU. He won at least 9 games every year, and won the Fiesta Bowl after Rich Rod bolted. Wannstedt was a respected coach from the NFL that immediately brought in high recruiting classes. Admittedly, he is a much better analyst than coach. Walt Harris did a much better job.

And yet it pisses you off SO MUCH you created a whole damn thread over it.

I've got news for you Shere buddy... The entire rest of the world agrees with you that the CFB landscape is better off without the BE and that the BE was not a worthy football conference. Where the rest of the world disagrees with you is that they all have moved on while YOU obsess over it. Think that Boston College, Pitt, WVU, or any other former BE school's fans are obsessing over where the other former BE schools are ranked? (Here's a clue...I live in MORGANTOWN, WV, so I can speak to this issue...) NONE OF THEM ARE.

There is not a single WVU fan obsessing over where any other former BE team...except for rivals Pitt and maybe VaTech...is ranked. And Pitt and VaTech are hated rivals and it doesn't matter what conference they belonged to that matters. (Walk down a street in Morgantown and hum "Sweet Caroline" and watch what happens... It's just a reflex.)

The truth is, I think, that YOU loved and admired the BE and wanted very badly to be part of the conference...but then the thing fell apart just as Memphis was going to get in. And that burns you up. And hence, you can't...you won't...let it go.

Sad.

FIFY...

And for the record, Temple was omitted from the conference when the "Big East FOOTBALL Conference" was folded into the full Big East. They weren't so much "kicked out" as much as the "Football only" membership was no longer needed because the "Big East Football Conference" was folded into the Big East. (The Big East Football Conference was a separate entity at it's inception...) Temple wasn't going to ever be a full member (for a variety of reasons) of the Big East and so it was decided to not continue them as a partial member for FB.

But the fact remains that they were charter members of the Big East Football Conference and are now members of the AAC, so deserve to be counted as such.
