Saw that shi+ coming from a mile away. He isn't commenting on talent. He's talking about notoriety. Cincy is good, but fans of teams in other conferences aren't demanding to see home and home series with them. Once past UConn and Memphis, the AAC doesn't have any teams that move the excitement needle for fans of other schools. Sorry, but sometimes the truth is the truth.

We didn't have a conference challenge this year and still managed to get 4 teams in the tournament (should have been 5) and one of them won the whole thing. We have every basketball game on national TV. Do we really need a conference challenge? I think we are probably better off playing the best teams we can schedule and let someone else get stuck having to play a crap team because the league signed on to do a "conference challenge".

should you really be boasting about the aac tourny seeding/selection? aac got screwed big time on that one and highlighted a perception problem.

trying to downplay conf. challenges because your conf. doesn't have one is expected ==> but it is still quite pathetic

the butthurt is so strong here that i dont even know how to respond.

Nothing like a butthurt Syracuse basketball fan. UCONN is in a class with UNC, Duke, and Louisville. Truth hurts.

and yet you guys call me a troll after comments like these03-lmfao

Nothing trolling about it. I'm sure most Duke, UNC, and Louisville fans on here would say the same.

your attempt at trolling is quite pathetic. the trick is to put truth behind your comments so it actually strikes a nerve.

sorry but i am not gonna care for a comment that .01% of college basketball fans take as accurate.

In what sense? The Big Ten is playing two, one against the ACC, one against the Big East. Surely the ACC, SEC or Big12 could play a second, if they wanted to.

This would seem to be a red herring lead in aimed at talking down AAC BBall.

Exactly. But that's what trolls do.

no one here is debating uconns athletic status with those programs. what is getting debated is the clear stupidity of this lil gem:

There are also only 3.5 worthwhile programs for UCONN to play in the ACC.

pretty much. any sports writer who said that would become a laughing stock.

my runs ins with uconn fans have to do with comments i make that are calling things like i see it. you guys however are focusing on clearly false talking points that no rational uconn fan would even believe as accurate and do so with the intent of malice. hence the reason It doesn't bother me because your comments are so inaccurate that no one takes them seriously outside a couple of people who have clearly been ruined by me.

pitt? notre dame? heck even bc or nc state could have a some appeal there

this is why i have to think of you as a joke poster. considering the rpi benefits, the history, and fanbase demographics there are a good 6-7 ACC programs that uconn would love to play (duke, ville, cuse, unc, pitt, virginia, notre dame) and a few others that would also be appealing in some cases.

reaction? do you see waves of cuse/pitt fans getting butthurt over those comments? all i did was point out the obvious troll of your points.

i make this thread and immediately you & hank show up crying about my uconn hatred and being a cuse fan with an agenda which is a reoccurring theme anytime i touch a uconn related topic with you.

when you see me, cuseroc & texanmark chasing you around in threads over what you say about SU then we can have this conversation.

uconn fans ==> because they don't have a chance at the acc/b10

ecu ===> same reason

houston ==> because i talk positively about rice

if i posted this in the AAC thread it would be trolling, instead i posted it here to have a discussion how the bottom 5 aac schools continue to hold the aac down. you guys respond wih crap like:

I like and respect Texanmark. The problem is you going out of your way to make digs at certain schools/conferences. When you call a thread "Checkmate AAC," therein lies your smack talk problem. The MWC doesn't have a scheduling agreement. Where is their "Checkmate MWC" thread? Just admit it...you like to troll on certain schools/conferences. We've all seen your posts on the AAC board. Talk about a creature of habit.

Yet there was no mention of the bolded part in your original post. Instead, it was just a shot at the conference.

Note to John: This is a fan forum, not a sports publication. 03-lmfao Given the reaction I got out of you, I'd say I was quite successful in my comment. 04-rock

reaction? do you see waves of cuse/pitt fans getting butthurt over those comments? all i did was point out the obvious troll of your points.

i make this thread and immediately you & hank show up crying about my uconn hatred and being a cuse fan with an agenda which is a reoccurring theme anytime i touch a uconn related topic with you.

when you see me, cuseroc & texanmark chasing you around in threads over what you say about SU then we can have this conversation.

I like and respect Texanmark. The problem is you going out of your way to make digs at certain schools/conferences. When you call a thread "Checkmate AAC," therein lies your smack talk problem. The MWC doesn't have a scheduling agreement. Where is their "Checkmate MWC" thread? Just admit it...you like to troll on certain schools/conferences. We've all seen your posts on the AAC board. Talk about a creature of habit.

if my goal was to annoy aacers i woulda posted it in the AAC forum.

the title is appropriate because it is a checkmate move on the AACs conference challenge scheduling opportunities.

pretty much. any sports writer who said that would become a laughing stock.

my runs ins with uconn fans have to do with comments i make that are calling things like i see it. you guys however are focusing on clearly false talking points that no rational uconn fan would even believe as accurate and do so with the intent of malice. hence the reason It doesn't bother me because your comments are so inaccurate that no one takes them seriously outside a couple of people who have clearly been ruined by me.

Have you ever for a second considered calling things like you see it could be the problem? Planet Johnny must be a lonely place.

i prefer honesty instead of kiss ass

uconn fans ==> because they don't have a chance at the acc/b10

ecu ===> same reason

houston ==> because i talk positively about rice

if i posted this in the AAC thread it would be trolling, instead i posted it here to have a discussion how the bottom 5 aac schools continue to hold the aac down. you guys respond wih crap like:

There are also only 3.5 worthwhile programs for UCONN to play in the ACC.

Yet there was no mention of the bolded part in your original post. Instead, it was just a shot at the conference.

oh yeah ur right. waiting to say that until the 9th total post of this thread is way outta line.

More like backtracking after people called you out for your trolling.

Need? No. But it helps. It helps your SOS, helps your RPI. It can give you a chance for a "good win" come tournament selection time. Less concretely, it legitimizes you as a peer of the P-5 if you can pull off a conference challenge with the PAC. It's not the be-all and end-all some people were saying a few days ago when the Big Ten-Big East challenge was announced ("The Big East must have traded MSG for this!" 01-wingedeagle)

Quote:I think we are probably better off playing the best teams we can schedule and let someone else get stuck having to play a crap team because the league signed on to do a "conference challenge".

Well, your conference has, er, certain teams who fit that bill. I'd push for a series with the PAC if I were you guys.

You left out Cincy tool and all three generate more interest than Rutgers.

Sorry Cincy is boring, they dont move the needle for other fanbases other than Xavier.

haha we play a boring style of hoops, no doubt, but we kicked your butts (granted, beating Rutgers isn't much to brag about)
