That's adorable.

Oh, and I'll throw in the idea somebody had that Aresco should be calling up Georgetown and seeing if they'll defect. We have a better chance of getting UConn to the Big East, and that's not happening either.

Enjoy.

EDIT: Oh, and the false narrative that Tulane was so terrible that they caused the split is more our fault than anyone else's. Apologies, Green Wave nation.

LOL... Check out the St. John's guy coming in here and shoving us around!

What's next? A DePaul guy claiming that the reason the B1G wants in MSG is that THEY scared them out of Chicago.

WSU recently landed a solid 4* recruit out of the NE. A bunch of schools were also going after him. One of other schools was Seton Hall. I dropped by the SHU forum to check out their convo on the kid, post decision. I was amazed at the sh*t talk on WSU, and the elevation/perception of SHU relative WSU. This, in spite of the fact that via a laundry list of comparatives - NCAA’s appearances, S16’s, E8’s, FF’s, MBB budget and revenue, coaching staff salaries, facility capacity, game attendance - where WSU was the superior program, many times drastically so. Like... you’d have to dig REAL hard to find a crack where SHU trumps WSU.

There’s just some weird state of narcosis that some BE programs and their fans live in.

I feel like Villanova and Georgetown can brag at least a little bit based on their histories (Villanova can brag a lot lately, but let's remember that they weren't at the top of the league when programs like UConn, Syracuse, Pitt, Notre Dame, WVU, and Louisville were regularly on their schedule). St. John's had some major success in the 80's and 90's, so while I don't think they should brag much as now, I at least respect their program and sort of get it.

Seton Hall and Providence fans, however, are the worst when it comes to bragging. You would think that both schools have had the historic success of Kentucky or North Carolina based on the drivel coming out of the mouths of their fans. Both are small Catholic schools that need to make themselves feel important even if they have never been all that important (looking at you Seton Hall) or haven't been important in a long time (looking at you Providence).

Completely agree.

Suppose I should have clarified my statement a little further.

Be serious. You remember what they said about us, right?

Screw the Big East. They made their bed when they did what they did. Blaming y'all and ECU for the reasoning why they did it.

Isn’t negative rep points supposed to be a big “ban me” signal around here?

Well I had 3 yesterday. So I guess someone was pissed about something I'm not the one mocking people, calling people pill poppers or alcoholics, but I suppose I'm the bad guy here. I've never given negative rep points to anybody, even HuskyU while being attacked by him/her. So what's your point?

Nice input. You really are an enlightening fella. Or as you would say, "an interesting broad"

I suggest this thread needs to get back on topic. If it continues to veer off in its current direction it will be shut down.

Veer off? This thread thread started in Manhattan and has already crashed into the Pacific Ocean.

It be fair . .the title does say OFF TOPIC (OT) .. maybe he just stopped reading there and thought it was a thread for randomness.

Man, Tennessee hasn't even won a conference tournament since the 1970s. Don't try to talk basketball here.

Not sure what that has to do with tournament appearances. Do you have to win your conference tournament to get into the NCAA tournament? I mean that was one of the dumbest comments I've ever had thrown back at me. Alabama football won the freakin national championship last year without even winning its division or playing in conference championship.

FYI, Kentucky is the best program in the history of college basketball, and take a guess who has beaten them more times than anyone else? I'll be waiting Wade Boggs.

How's the endowment looking?

A Tennessee basketball fan sh**-talking UCONN basketball fans??? Now I've seen it all..

And are you really bringing up endowment in a college basketball/sports thread??? Best to save face and just bow to UCONN, your master.

Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!

I will say this for the last time. If you go to page 4 and read the statement I posted about UCONN always talking about the BIG or the ACC, then why don't they just leave for the Big East. I even wished them well and thought they should have gotten the nod over Rutgers. Even said it was a bit harsh, and that I didn't intend for that. I was attacked for being a Tennessee fan. I usually let things go, but HuskyU is a straight up troll. If you can't see that, then I'm speechless. Page 4 is very much in tact, so all you have to do is read, instead of posting half witted garbage. I'm a Memphis fan too, so that's why I post here.

2-1 series leader says otherwise with UCONN

I'm also aware of another prestigious basketball program in this conference UT leads the series with. Down goes free throw shooting

I'm not witty at all. I'm not trying to hide that. I merely point out facts that upset the little doggies in the northeast.
Page 4 is still up. Is it that hard to read in Kansas?

Post count smack is weak. It wreaks of being desperate when losing an argument.

Uhhhh, ya wanna go back to the first time you responded to me? Ya know, my post count.

Coach Bonez89 has 30 posts out of a thread of 136 total posts, almost all of them argumentative, and has garnered a net negative rep in the process. If only there were a way to decode and discern of this behavior for the proper way forward.

What if we changed his username to something related to WSU? I would expect that to expedite the process, no?
