ACC Big East merger

[RedRabbit84]

Wow, that's a whole lot of words instead of just saying "BC" (or whatever.). One wonders why it's so important to you to hide your rooting interest that you'd rather resort to lengthy word salad. Aren't fans supposed to be proud of their teams?

I've made it clear why: is not relevant and I'm trying to stay on topic. You guys are OBSESSED, and truthfully at this point that's funnier to me than to just tell you. But, I'd rather get back on topic...

I'm not here to bash or troll. I'm here to discuss realignment. That's it. Who I root for just isn't relevant to the topic. We'll be fine. It's everything else on the board that interests me.

I don't think being proud of your team is necessary for being a fan.

I wouldn't say obsessed, but I'm certainly interested. Why a guy would be ashamed of the team that he supposedly roots for. It just seems kind off.

I'm not ashamed. Not even kind of. It's. Just. Not. Relevant. I'm not ashamed. I'm not scared. I'm just not here to discuss my team. I'm here to discuss realignment. Why's this difficult to grasp for you?

"Chill" isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe UConn fans.

Would you describe the fan base that you are a part of as "Chill"?

I'd describe them as less obsessed over who someone roots for if they're otherwise trying to stay on topic.

There are more people accused of being BC fans here than there are actual BC fans. It's an impossibility.

Why would you be scared?

Big state school and marquee hoops, but yeah, Kansas might very well be a pass.

It does look like the GOR is going to hold, but at some point I have to believe that the Big or maybe the SEC take UNC and Virginia off the table, much like they did with USC and UCLA.

We’re a big state school with marquee hoops and look at that’s been going.

I think if the BigTen had interest in Kansas, something would have happened already.

 

[RedRabbit84]

Why would you be scared?

Good question, but it was suggested that I might be. I'm not. I'm just not wanting to make this about my team. I'm here for realignment talk. The obsession at this point is sort of proving my point...

Well, because the path of least resistance, and frankly normal interaction on a fan board, would be to say oh I'm a fan of team. So, when you see someone from that and spend so much time to avoid what's considered a common courtesy, you have to wonder what he so embarrassed about?

So, what are you so embarrassed about being a fan of this particular team that you're so uncomfortable admitting to it?

With the “y’all” in an earlier post, that does not scream BC. With “Red” in your name, I’m thinking NC State. Virginia Tech is more maroon than red, but the fan forum always has lots of good conference realignment talk. The only other schools that come to mind are possibly Houston or Alabama.

OK, now I’m getting a little too obsessed.

Nope. Again; I'm not wanting to make this about my team (which you guys clearly are). I'm just here to discuss realignment. This isn't rocket science. Stop overthinking it, and let's discuss realignment. The fact that you've gone on and on for multiple pages now proves my point.

Welcome to the Boneyard. This (going on and on) is what many of our posters do. Best to move on with your posts/points and ignore those trying to route you out.

The handle Red Rabbit has me thinking he's a Marist alum and if the 84 is his birth year, the poor slob wasn't even able to apprecite the Rik Smits years.

The Marist Red Rabbits? Rik Smits The Dunking Dane!

Just answer the question Claire.

That would explain the embarrassment.

This did make me chuckle

It's possible when you consider that one man can create multiple accounts...
