UNCW is one of the better mid majors this year.

Oh, well I guess that makes ECU less crappy?

ECU and USF really just need to pull the bandaids off already and fire their coaches. Time to hire someone that can get it done. I have seen no progress under Orlando and Lebo is just Lebo. Nothing more needs to be said.

Exactly.

This would make waves for UCONN and the AAC

UCF is serious about men's basketball I think. You don't build that type of facility if you're not. Then renovate it in the past few months to improve technology, sound, video board, etc.

We were unfortunate and got a bad gameday coach. Dawkins, though, seems to have already righted the ship even with no depth. I'm not sure how we will hold up to the conference slate due to that, but the player development and competent gameday coaching is a joy to watch.

Easier to be a basketball school when you have a history and rep of basketball only. Plus it's easier when most of your programs resources are not split between football and basketball. It does make a difference. You will notice that most of the basketball only schools are eastern or east of the Mississippi. Not all but huge number of the basketball only tend to be located in that area.

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT TIGER SMOKE IS STILL PROMINTENTLY POSTING ON A COUPLE THREADS THROUGHOUT THE BOARD.







TIGER SMOKE GOES BY BIG EAST HOMER/ ACC FOR LIFE AND IF YOU LOOK AT HIS RATINGS, YOU WILL SEE BIG EAST HOMER HAS RATED TIGER SMOKE VERY HIGHLY.



FURTHER, HIS FOOTBALL COMMENTARY IS VERY POOR AND HE EVEN THOUGHT MEMPHIS WOULD BEAT TULSA (LOL)





I APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE WHO HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS VISCIOUS TROLL
