I'll help you guys out:

1. Best BBall, period, and don't forget the exclusive MSG deal that will be extended for 10 years.

2. Better on the gridiron than half the 'Gay 5'.

I don't care what anyone says, wait till BSU starts rolling again and BYU hops on board, this conference will be turning some heads, kicking some as/see, and laughing all the way to the bank...

I assure you guys: once the gang gets together, we'll emerge as something much better than any other BE configuration before - I sincerely mean that. The national configuration will yield benefits no one ever thought possible, and will be looked upon as an incredibly innovative move after we get out from under ESPN's boot.

Hell, UL, BSU, Cincy, Rutgers, BYU, or UConn can play with anyone, and I'll bet my car that BSU makes a playoff game before Patti Graduates; we just had the best recruiting year ever - the young talent is absurd...

Not enough? Wait until teams like SMU, UCF, Houston, and SDSU start receiving big boy funding; add it up - hot beds of recruiting + improved facilities + new established friends = waking the sleeping giants...

This conference has every damn reason in the world to be incredibly optimistic about the future; once you guys realize the glass is half-full, you'll find out we actually have an entire keg on tap, ready to go!!

:dirtyvegas:

What type of car do you drive?

Listen, I could careless about your fanbase. I grew up in NYC, on the big east, BE basketball was religion in our house. Ive been to the tournament and saw Alonzo Mourning, Billy Owens battle. I've been a fan of the Anthony Avents and Terry Dehere, I watched Rick Pitino coached Billy Dovovan and providence to the final four. I just missed the Mark Jackson and Patrick Ewing era but my father spoke of it like it was the mission to the moon. I lived and breathed this conference growing up. I've watched and cheered for this league when Louisville was playing in some rundown stadium on a dirt field ( according to Tom Jackson). You guys make a couple of nice bowls and all of a sudden you're too good for the league.

I for one was happy when you guys got invited to the league and genuinely cheered for you guys. I rooted for you guys against Miami and Kentucky. I called Petrino a traitor like the rest of you when he left. I hated the Kragthorpe era as much as you guys and I cheered when you guys hired Charlie Strong. Until this year, I rooted for louisville to do well as I did for every other BE team. But as I've said, i'm from NYC, we value loyalty and respect, and there is a sense of pride here you won't find in many other cities. We stand up for our own against all others and once you attack one, you're the enemy of all. This city is fiercely loyal, its in our blood. So when your fanbase start bashing the league after we gave you a bigger stage and brighter spotlight it a slap in the face to all the fans who root for this conference. And to so openly bash the conference when you guys did nothing for 3 years to help, you failed to see your contribution to the state the conference is in. And then after a 7-6 season, all of a sudden you're better than everyone else? Enjoy whatever success you're having now, as the Kragthorpe era shows, cellar dweller is just a bad coaching hire around the corner.

Get over yourself...seriously...lol

Yea, gotta say I love his pride for the BE, but Louisville sure as hell won't be in any cellar. LOL!

Thats what everyone thought in 2007.

Mens Basketball = 2 Elite Eights

Womens Basketball = 1 Final Game vs UConn

Guess that wasn't enough for your taste......oh yeah we've been completely upfront and blunt to the Big East like a New Yorker would talk.....the conference let programs down starting a couple of years ago, its not the same buddy....it has a chance to get back, but its not right now and any successful program will look out for its community

And you guys like to place the demise of the conference on our 3 year stint with Kragthorpe.....

Ignore the soccer, baseball, and other non revs if you want, but take the 2 elite 8s and womens champ game and I'd say it brought home at least a decent size bowl payout to the conference for those appearances....how did your team do.

We aren't normally like this, but when we're in the cross hairs constantly its fight back or leave the forum all together....We've set up a UL board, we can all go back there if thats what you all really want LOL

In the Sports that you do "care about" very recent history:

1. Football...2011 BIG EAST Co-Champion with UC & WVU...currently undefeated and in the AP & Coaches Poll Top 20 & the highest ranked team from the BIG EAST in both polls.
2. 2011-2012 BIG EAST Tournament Men's Basketball Champion & 2012 Final Four...Co-Favorites with Indiana according to Vegas to win the 2012-2013 Men's Basketball Title.

It is what it is...get over it.

Im sorry, but that "co-championship" really isn't that impressive to me. It keeps getting thrown around by UofL fans but a 7-6 season is not one to celebrate or brag about.

Don't care if it impresses you or not...fact is the BIG EAST gave Louisville, Cincinnati & West Virginia BIG EAST Football Championship Trophies...we split the 1st place $$$$ evenly with our 5-2 BIG EAST Record in 2011...it was 1-1 record between the 3 schools with Louisville being the last team to beat WVU in about a year in Morgantown & we are the highest rank team in the Current & Future BIG EAST in 2012 & unbeaten.

I root for Rutgers in FB, and St. John's is a FOUNDING all sports but football member of the league. There are no Basketball only members in this conference.

Boy you must, like, really, really hate Miami, Boston College, Va Tech, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and WVU! What about the Dodgers? Still hate them? And the SF Giants? What about them. Are your teeth still grinding?

Please don't think about them all at once. Take a deep breath. No need for your head to explode!

Well to be fair, the Giants really sucked when they left.

1. Football...2011 BIG EAST Co-Champion with UC & WVU...currently undefeated and in the AP & Coaches Poll Top 20 & the highest ranked team from the BIG EAST in both polls.
2. 2011-2012 BIG EAST Tournament Men's Basketball Champion & 2012 Final Four...Co-Favorites with Indiana according to Vegas to win the 2012-2013 Men's Basketball Title.

It is what it is...get over it.

Im sorry, but that "co-championship" really isn't that impressive to me. It keeps getting thrown around by UofL fans but a 7-6 season is not one to celebrate or brag about.

Curious who your football team is since you're only a basketball only around here......

I root for Rutgers in FB, and St. John's is a FOUNDING all sports but football member of the league. There are no Basketball only members in this conference.

So, what you are saying is that even if Louisville just went ahead and disbanded football upon joining the Big East, we would still have contributed more to the Big East than your primary rooting affiliation over that same period?

Do I have this correct?
