Do you want to leave USF on an island by themselves?  Adding UCF makes perfect sense in that regards.  ECU makes sense because you would have a BE team in the middle of ACC territory.  I'm sure the ACC would be thrilled about that.  Marshall makes sense.  But you don't need all three.

Damn straigt the ACC would be thrilled. They'd have a Big East punching bag in their back yard as a home coming game. What better way to prove that the ACC is the better conference than by having its four Carolina schools regularly slaughter Directional U of the Big East? And I'm just talking about football, I can't imagine how they'd line up during basketball season. 50 point blowouts would be the norm.

You can kiss my a$$ L-yes! If you really think ECU football would be a punching bag to the NC ACC schools them you are a bigger, arrogant idiot than I thought.
In basketball, there are very few teams in the country that wouldn't be punching bags to any of those four schools.
I personally don't care if you don't want ECU as a candidate for the BIG EAST if it ever expands but don't go insulting my school! :mad:

This is exactly what we need, right?

Just wait until the new "Miami" of the Big East doesn't meet expectations.

P.S. for the record also, You lost to army not too long ago.

"Not to long ago"

Yes, 6 years ago and we were still 1 win away from being C-USA Champs.

BTW loved how your team insulted us before the football game last season, really dumb thing to do. Maybe ECU will learn to never stomp on the Cardinal again.

That was a classless act by a few players that had no bussiness doing that. That's okay, we got spanked anyway.

I'm not badmouthing any schools,I respect Louisville and Cincy but to call them northern schools is pretty funny.Does anyone know where the south actually starts? :roflol: Memphis is in the midsouth not in the deep south by the way.

Darn Skippy!! Louisville is at the north end of the south and Cincy is at the southeast end of the Mid-West.

Well yeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwww.

That same cupcake beat Miami last season, something L'ville couldn't do even after Miami spotted them a healthy lead. Some teams just match up better against others. UNC was up and down all season.

It doesn't change the fact that they were a 34-0 cupcake now does it?

I'd venture to guess that we would have pulled out the miami game if it were on our home field. UNC had that luxury.

But Bush isn't going to let what the majority of country thinks is wrong influence his actions about Iraq. In his mind, he is doing what is best for this country. Same thought process can be applied to Prez's and AD's.

So the President shouldn't listen to the wishes of the people. That sure sounds like a democracy. That being said, I view the war like this in the short-term it sucks, in the long-term its going to help the world particuarly that region. Dude no offense you can't compare war to conference admission.

Southern Miss is and was not interested in the senario that you have now....now....if there had been a merger of the Big East and C-USA...with North and South Divisions....that would be another story.......

I see you have been promoted to AD, OG!

I wasn't comparing the war to expansion or whatever. I was stating that leaders sometimes have to go against the wishes of the people he's leading and do what he/she feels is best for his/her institution, business or country.

I'll give you a pass on that one.

And Im sure folks from Conn and NJ are not interested in that other team from Mississippi.

I'm as proud of my southern heritege as anyone, but geographically Louisville is closer to Canada than Memphis....go figure. Don't take my word, look it up.

Get out of here,are you for real? :laugh:

Lets add University of Greenland & the University of Nova Scotia. That way we can have a truly northeastern league like the northerners want. If we want to round it up to 12 we could add the NPU (North Pole U.) Eskimos, but they'd have to change their name for political correctness. We could add the Private college of St. Nicholas (located in the North Pole as well). They wouldn't win a basketball game, cause the elves are too short. But you couldn't go wrong politically. The big man would have all the opposing teams players on the naughty list.

Actually I love this North vs. South thing the fans have going. I builds rivalry. Personally, I want to add all southern teams- Tulane, S. Miss, Memphis and ECU. No harm in that. It would bring more balance to the whole thing You know, north and south.

Plus, everyone knows southern football is better than northern football. The stadiums, fans, cheerleaders, women, tailgating, weather and etc. are better. Come on, haven't you seen that northern football vs. southern football comparison.

Go Cards! 12-0 National Champs 2005!

Speaking of traveling to northern schools, the only one that seems remotely interesting is Rutgers. I don't think it's too far from NYC. That would be a nice weekend trip. The Big Apple's worth seeing at least once. I have yet to see why anyone would want to go to Syracuse or Storrs. Pittsburgh and Morgantown are closer so they'd be a good overnight trip. I'd much rather go to the New Orleans or Memphis. Hattisburgh doesn't offer much, but just think if they could move everything to their southern campus. Then you could have a beach. Uh, ECU, I really don't think there is any reason to travel there beside a football game.

We're about 45 minutes to an hour from NYC with traffic. I reccommend the train out of New Brunswick station on the edge of the College Ave campus to get there. Puts you right into Penn Station NY in 40 minutes. Although you really can't see NY in a weekend.

Hell No!

384 miles to Memphis
640 miles to Hamilton Canada, unless you are driving over Lake Michigan.

Unless you mean Canada Ky you are way off.

Do you want to leave USF on an island by themselves? Adding UCF makes perfect sense in that regards. ECU makes sense because you would have a BE team in the middle of ACC territory. I'm sure the ACC would be thrilled about that. Marshall makes sense. But you don't need all three.

The Big East wants South Florida to be strong?? I think by adding UCF that undercuts USF's potential. Florida is a state that now has 7 d1 schools including 2 new ones in the last year. The Big Three are in a league to themselves, but the other 4 could be competitive. The main advantage USF has going for it is that it now has the BCS status, if they also give that to UCF then UCF will land some of the guys USF would probably get and water down their potential, and really both of their potential to build a power. Also schools like Louisville and Rutgers make a living in Florida and most all the Big East would like to recruit there. Well that would also damage there recruiting efforts by introducing another BCS team into Florida. Add in UCF's 1200 a game basketball attendance for a team that won 25 games and went to the NCAA's support is a real question mark for those guys as well.
