I've never seen a team photo before, where the coach looks like the yougest guy in the picture. Guess that's what happens when the players (and students in general) need 10 years to graduate high school.

Wichita State fields a team of grown ass men who play basketball at the highest level in the country. A fan of BJ could not understand the concept having only witnessed Surburban Horse played since the beginning of time.

You can't talk about academics without bringing up my boy Kevin Ross...

I think we should only play another power conference in a challenge.

Um, the Big East already has that with the Big Ten. As a result, it's the Big East that has more leverage here.

So, in terms of keeping score, the Big East has a larger TV contract just based on basketball (and without even having football), a conference challenge with a P5 league, and consistently more NCAA Tournament bids.

As a result, schools like DePaul and Seton Hall make more TV money and overall conference revenue than UConn, Houston, UCF and every single other full member school in the AAC (and the entire rest of the G5, for that matter) and MANY magnitudes more than Wichita State. I'm not saying that this is fair or right, but the conference realignment game has always been about the money. Otherwise, conferences wouldn't be realigning in the first place. On that front, the supposed "Big Pee" has crushed the AAC and every single G5 league on every single objective measure that matters in conference realignment. It's actually not even close when (once again) the Big East doesn't even have football. When looking at it on a relative basis, it's about as big of a gap on only basketball revenue between the Big East and the AAC as there is between the G5 and the P5 for football. We could go on all day about how the AAC got more exposure from ESPN or that a new AAC contract will pay more money in a few years or that the Big East won't ever get that same amount in a new contract... but that's all speculation. On the actual scoreboard today, the Big East completely destroys the AAC from a financial standpoint. Fans with blind hatred toward the Big East can whine about how they don't believe it should be the case, but there's simply no comparison as to which conference won the realignment game here. Call me crazy, but the entity with BOTH much higher revenue AND much lower expenses would seem to have the preferable model.

Best do some research next time Frankie. The AAC gave UCONN back its WBB rights. That along with CFP money results in a higher pay-out than anyone in the new Big East. UCONN has a top 60 AD budget without Power contract $. As far as athletic achievement is concerned, shall we compare National Championships between the 2 conferences?

Must suck to be a Illinois/Depaul fan. That explains your want/need to tear down superior programs.

Do Illinois or DePaul actually still have sports programs?

Poor old Kevin Ross may not have learned how to read, but I'll bet dollars to donuts he learned to be handy roping cattle!

Quote:The most Midwestern and apparent "standard" thing happened late Thursday night in Omaha, Neb.: Cattle on the loose.

An overturned cattle truck on Interstate 680 in Omaha led to a 3 1/2-hour traffic jam where as many as 12 animals roamed free, per KETV in Omaha. The truck lost control on a bend from I-680 southbound onto I-80 eastbound shortly before 10 p.m., the TV news station reported. All lanes of traffic re-opened at 1:30 a.m. Friday.

"This is Nebraska. This is standard ... small-town normal," Priscilla Holmes of Omaha told the Omaha World-Herald. "Only in Nebraska would you have a tornado on Christmas and cows on the Interstate."

Only in Bug'aha; only in the most forgotten piece of land in the universe...

And here come the insecure BJ fans to make this thing come full circle! They just can’t help it! Lurking around, seeing what ol WSU is up to! LOL! Looking up at us in the polls as always.

Also, lol at a Nebraska person calling people hayseeds. You can’t write this comedy!

The real comedy is that the entire BJ fanbase is comprised of Nebraska football fans who have an uncanny knack for alcohol and make the games a “social outing” in the metropolis of Omaha, Nebraska. They could care less about the BJs except for something to pass the time between football snaps.

And of course, they’d find their way on to an AAC board, letting their obsessive insecurities play out. Well done BJ fan! I knew you wouldn’t let us down! Hahaha. Keep on lurking!

A model where nobody sees your games. I'll hand it to you Big Pee'rs, you really took advantage of a quick cash grab from a desperate Fox News. Trust me when I say this, they are losing money badly on the deal...

At the top of the list I find this:

http://link-filtered-due-to-frequent-spa...bcd01b4c3b

Quote:Two employees of Creighton University’s Violence Intervention and Prevention Center are “under review” and could potentially be disciplined after writing an op-ed in the student paper criticizing the conduct of basketball coach Greg McDermott. McDermott recently posted a photo of himself handing out a ring to former guard Maurice Watson (apparently first-round losses to Rhode Island deserve jewelry?) which prompted Lauren Ward and Meredith Lierk to write in the Creightonian and point out that honoring Watson—who was expelled from the school and suspended from the team after being accused of raping a fellow student earlier this year—was “a selfish and reckless act” that essentially ignored the sexual assault Watson was accused of.

LMFAO!

BJ gonna BJ...

They be handin' out rings for One-and-Dones...

They truly are the king.

The resident trolls are having some fun over there... I may have to sign up as PeeDee the Pirate and throw my support with Seton Fail and join in the festivities.

That picture... that may be my avatar soon.

Absolutely priceless!!

Joe Lunardi's bracketology today shows why I think Big East and AAC fans need to stop bickering with each other and focus on the P5....

last 2 teams in tourney.... Temple and Butler.

1st 2 teams out of tourney.... NC State and Washington State

so if AAC/BE don't make tourney, who benefits? That's right, the P5.

At least Georgetown won a national title and has been to more than one FF. Hell, we've even been to a FF. So has George Mason! So your biggest accomplishment isn't as big as you think it is.

I've been to NYC more times than fans have attended a Rutgers football game this year. I used to live in New Jersey. It's really nothing special except for lots and lots of people, which apparently to you, is a plus.

I noticed you ignored the FF factoid. What an embarrassing cuck that doesn't know anything. Tries so hard though.

I've been through Rahway and Edison and right on down to New Brunswick where I bought a honda at Open Road Honda on Route 1.

You need to leave the smokestacks, swamps, and Johnson and Johnson factories once in a while.
