Ann Arbor, on the other hand, is a nice little city (and an easy lay  :D ).

As I said, I am from Detroit, lived in Toledo and visited Juarez. Memphis is the dirtiest city I have ever been in.

THERE WERE DRUG DEALERS ON BEALE STREET. MORE THAN ONE. IN THE PLACE THAT YOUR CITY TRIES TO GET TOURISTS TO GO.

And the Memphis campus is one of the 5 worst I have visited (and I have been to over 100 the past three years).

It's a toilet of a city, a joke of a school and a laughable football program.

"drug dealers on Beale Street..." going by your posts, I bet you know where the drug dealers are in every city you visit.

*yawn*

Judging by the douchebags in this thread, I hope that Toledo and Memphis get invites to the BEast. It would make the wins that much more enjoyable, knowing that turd burglars like you were crying in your Zima after ANOTHER loss to Toledo.

Keep dreaming Toledo's decent but Pitt, WVU, Conn, UL, and Cuse are all definitely better. I'd also imagine that Rutgers, UC, and USF would also give you a run for your money.

Pitt, WVU and UL are the only teams of that group that have been ranked in the top 25 more recently than Toledo has.

You are an ignorant ******.

Hey, SprocketNerd -

The only time rankings matter are the Final BCS rankings which decide what teams play in BCS Bowls and the Final Poll rankings.

Last time Toledo was in a BCS Bowl - umm - Never.
BCS Bowls SU has played in - Fiesta Bowl in 1997 and Orange Bowl in 1998.

Last time Toledo was ranked in the AP or Coaches Final Poll - 2001 - #23 in the AP and #22 in the Coaches.

Last time SU was ranked in the AP or Coaches Final Poll - 2001 - #14 in both polls.

Other than that, as Cuseroc has already pointed out, one of our worse teams spanked the Rockets 34-7 as recently as 2003.

Run along, son, you're making an ****** of yourself.

Cheers,
Neil

Anyone else notice how his lame ****** responded to a crack on Toledo's small stadium by posting a pic of Michigan's? Like that somehow proves Toledo's stadium is nice! Next time someone cuts on UofL's PJCS I'll post a pic of the Rose Bowl to "prove" my point.

Seriously, does ANYONE want to continue reading his crap. Just ban garbage like him.

Your school doesn't play in the Rose Bowl. Bad analogy.

My alma mater plays in Michigan Stadium. Someone said "your stadium," so I posted a pic of "my stadium."

Interesting that you bring up the Rose Bowl. My alma mater has been there more than any other team in the Big Ten.

Summer school is something you should know all about, Mr. I couldn't get into a school that didn't have an open enrollment policy.

Seriously, a Memphis fan trying to rip Toledo is hilarious. You are a mid-major just like Toledo. Toledo has a top-25 calibre football team and a mediocre basketball team. Memphis has a top-25 calibre basketbally team and a mediocre football team. Both are commuter schools. CUSA is a far weaker football conference than the MAC, and the basketball side is pretty much even (CUSA stronger at the top, MAC stronger throughout).

You have absolutely no reason nor right to rip Toledo for anything.

You are correct, I was lucky enough to have summer school over in Europe for 2 of my summers when in school. Loved it.


Mac is better than C-USA in basketball?? Huh? I can't even name one MAC basketball team that's been in the NCAAs. I don't even know who's good in that conference.

I hope you had a chance to see Calipari on the Best Damn Sports Show tonight as a guest host. I'm sure Toledo will have one of their coaches on there as a guest host. :laugh: :laugh:

You aren't real bright. You came on here to defend Toledo. Then when attacked you "fall back" to Michigan. Everyone will grant you that we don't have the tradition or stadium of Michigan. That wasn't the issue however was it?

Go back to where you came from and make the world, or at least this board, a much better place.

So you go to a street, full of bars, in the heart of downtown, and you find a drug dealer. Wow, that's like finding a drug dealer on Sunset Strip or Times Square.

Quote:2. I am not a Michigan fan, I am a Michigan alum. Fans are people like you who don't go to college, who didn't attend the school they are a fan of. When someone says "your stadium," well, that's Michigan Stadium. That's mine, that's the stadium of my alma mater. The Glass Bowl is not my stadium, that's Toledo's.

Right, so then you will agree that Toledo is a football joke since that's not your team?

Quote:3. What difference does it make if the stadium only seats 30,000? They pack the place for big games (something that a lot of BEast teams can't even seem to do), and they win at home (something a lot of BEast teams can't do). Would you rather play your home games at Lincoln Financial to 10,000 fans who don't care, or worse, a bunch of Syracuse or Pitt fans who made the trek to cheer for their home team? Or would you rather play at a small, packed stadium where the fans go nuts all game intimidating your opposition, and where you win almost every game you play?

I thought Michigan's stadium was your stadium so why are you talking about Toledo again?

Quote:4. I had season tickets my entire time at UM. I have been to big games against Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan State, Iowa and Wisconsin (who, besides Notre Dame, are all legitimate BCS schools, as opposed to the glorified mid-majors of the BEast). Never once did it get as loud there as it did at the Glass Bowl when Toledo came from behind in the 2nd half and knocked off 8th-ranked Pitt.

So Michigan is your school when someone knocks Toledo and you can't defend them, but Toledo is your school at all other times? You're the one that brought up Michigan, not me. It's like me saying, shutup about Memphis, UT is in Tennessee let's talk about them.

Quote:So, as your (internet) girlfriend tells you repeatedly, size doesn't matter. It's what you do with it.

My internet girlfriend? Right, so everyone that uses the Internet can only get Internet girlfriends. Way to group yourself into that generalization as well. You talk about the great city of Toledo, lose the argument, then talk about Michigan. Again, how is the great football powerhouse of Toledo better than Memphis? Because their stadium seats about half as many? Because they beat an overrated Pitt team? Because there's not a single drug dealer near any of the bars in all of Toledo? I'm sorry that your sketchy looking self got offered drugs in a part of town full of bars. I've never been offered drugs on Beale, but I dress well and don't invite it so maybe it's more about the person than the city.

Some Toledo fans let the "MAC success" go to their head.

The basketball comment is assinine.

It is not just some "fanboys" on a internet message board but the commish himself. Read and weep, you are stuck in Mid Major American Conference better know as the MAC. BTW you lose all crediblity when you try to compare MAC Basketball to C-USA basketball. UAB, UTEP and Memphis would run away with the MAC title.

Mickey T on Big East Expansion
Tranghese acknowledges a nine-team conference would be ideal for scheduling. But adding a ninth team is not on his list of priorities.

"We haven't even played a game in our league with our new members," he said. "There are a lot of issues with a ninth team. OK, it will make scheduling easier. But are they going to bring us any value? No. So, you want to make scheduling easier and we'll give our money away? It's illogical.

"I think our people would look very favorably upon a ninth team if it was the kind of school we wanted to be affiliated with and they brought some value. You don't just bring people in to solve a scheduling issue. That doesn't make sense. With the teams that are available, I don't think there's anybody out there who's going to bring us extra television value or bowl value."

Like Mikey said, the Big East would only bring in a school that adds value and guess what the Mudhens just doesn't fit the bill.

Toledo is a top-25 calibre team year in and year out. They would be interested.

You're just ignorant.

And yes, I compared CUSA to MAC in basketball. They are comparable conferences. Last year? No. This year? Definitely.

IIRC, Toledo has at least four games on ESPN this year as of right now. That's a lot of TV.

TV lets break it down: 4 scheduled regular season games, three of them on ESPN2 on Tuesday Night, one on ESPN2 on Saturday against Minnesota. The other two were postseason games

Yes, Toledo is the king of Tuesday Night.

If Toledo were in a real conference you would be 4-7 to 6-5 every year.
