Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 3441336, member: 5832"] Yeah I guess I don't get the whole 'it'll never be like it was' argument because, well - nothing is, really. Taking things from a squarely UConn-centric point of view, we only lose one or two rivals from the original conference (Pitt and Syracuse) and one or both of those could potentially be scheduled out of conference anyway in the future. And that aside, Seton Hall has emerged as a national power again and Georgetown is right around our general vicinity in terms of getting their mojo back as well. To have a strong Villanova, UConn, Georgetown and Seton Hall... that's pretty exciting on its own. That's not getting into some of the additions in recent years. Xavier feels like that'll turn into a fun rivalry game and Creighton, Butler and Marquette don't suck. It'll be similar but different and i'm fine with that. It's still a huge step up from this miserable pile of a conference. [/QUOTE]
