I don’t think fans remember when they were good, that’s what I meant. A lot of small schools send guys into the NFL in the top rounds. I don’t think it’s really remembered unless it’s done consistently
It is not a long history but we've knocked of Baylor twice when they had their best QB ever and we knocked off Iowa St in a year that they began the season ranked in the top ten and arguably the best QB they've ever had was a senior.
No, that would be incredibly stupid.
I have to agree. Seems like a convoluted way of saying BB doesn't matter, and tortured logic saying one team's five championships in 25 yrs are seen as flukes while another team's first final four bid is seen as having more perceived value.
Yeah, that's called cherry-picking. In other news, here are UConn's all-time records against the B12's newbies: 0-2 vs. BYU, 3-13 vs. Cincinnati, 1-3 vs. Houston, and 2-6 vs. UCF.
Ooo, I've been called out!
On your way to Acadia can you stop at Cooper Flagg’s house and drop off a fruit basket.
Lol, calls out cherry picking and then cherry picks.
Let's remember that one win over Houston was a totally meaningless game.
OK, I'll go further. I specifically mentioned only the new schools, the ones at the bottom of the pecking order. I expect they won't fare very well in the B12 until they've acclimated. Until then, the eight holdovers should do much better. When discussing football, nobody from UConn should be dissing any of the B12 schools -- old or new.
I'm very confident that the schools that you mentioned haven't played one football game as a member of the B-12 yet.
And wash his car.
Prior to your outing yourself I'm not sure many on here would have known that you were one of the people I was referring to.
I'll go further. I'm not particularly worried about it first, because it's a theoretical exercise and entirely doesn't matter, but also because teams like 1- 11 Colorado aren't particularly intimidating. That record you broke out was generated why we were absolutely in the coaching desert. I have every confidence in Jim Mora, particularly if Jim Mora is coaching a P4 team, which we would be if you were hypothetical came to pass.
No you didn't.
Here's proof
To get rid of Title IX? Well, the literal answer is that congress would have to pass a law to get rid of it. But is that the option, really? I dont begrudge anyone from making a buck, but these schools and the NCAA are out of freaking control. Title IX gives access to folks who previously had none. That aint a bad thing.
Too long of an explanation my friend. Google Title IX and you will get your answer.
Agree, 15 seed BC over 2 seed Kansas as a 1st round upset just doesn't have the same appeal as 15 seed Lehigh over 2 seed Duke though I suppose the former is still just as shocking. Part of the fun of the tournament is tuning and looking at...wait, who the hell is Oral Roberts? over Ohio state? kind of moments. I don't think as many ppl will care when 14 seed Rutgers beats 3 seed Zona, just won't have the same luster to the casuals or even anyone outside the handful of Scarelt Knight fans. Like oh wow, Pitt (finally) made a run to the final 4 in a tourney totally comprised of the b10, acc, b12 and sec, WHO cares. Can't market that like you did butler, Gmason, FAU, or vcus run even if the former is almost as shocking, if not just as. Just isn't the same under dog anymore.
If we were in the Big 12, there'd be a B12 team in the elite 8 and no Big East teams.
