Big East January '26 Thread

[rashadray11]

Every aspect of the conference situation has been beaten to death, and then beaten to death, and then beaten to death some more. There is a whole board on this site dedicated to this topic if you want to beat it to death some more.

UConn is having an amazing season, and a big chunk of you morons are falling for one of the more obvious trolls to show up on the Boneyard. Look at his posting history. He doesn't know anything about UConn, he just trolls us on conference realignment, and he derails thread after thread until half this board is complaining about the Big East.

Stop feeding the troll.

Brother, you are just incorrect. Everyone makes fun of you on this board.

When have I praised the ACC fella? Nelson is Val, I am just a life-long UConn fan who will not bury my head in the sand about how bad our league is.

All I have ever argued for is to schedule like our women's team does, or like Gonzaga does. We need to ensure we have big time OOC games throughout the whole season, not just in the first month. Otherwise, our league does nothing but hold us back.

We have the inside track to a 1 seed thanks to our OOC schedule, which was the best we’ve ever had, and Hurley said we’ll swap out another buy game for a big OOC going forward. BE is projected to get 5 bids and the WCC is projected to get 2. Imagine if St Mary’s was our biggest rival then you’d really have something to complain about.

When your defense for not being a troll is to attack the poster pointing out you are a troll, you are admitting that you are a troll.

Edit: Also worth noting that despite 80%+ of his posts being about conference realignment, he never posts on the CR board. He is trying to derail threads on the main basketball board.

You’ve called me a troll since my first post. If I was a troll why would I average 6 likes per post on a UConn message board? You average negative likes.

If I wasn’t a die-hard UConn fan why would my favorite players ever be Rashad Anderson and Ed Nelson?

If I wasn’t a UConn fan why would I post about how to get to the prudential center for the UConn Seton Hall game?

I have literally never seen you post a single positive thing about UConn, all you talk about is how great the big east supposedly is. You are Val Ackerman.

I just wish we had games to get really fired up for between December and March instead of constant bubble teams or cellar dwellars.

My condolences but if you weren’t fired up after the PC game and aren’t fired up for Hall on Tuesday or for SJU at MSG or against Nova or for the BET then that’s on you.

My condolences but we heard you the first 20 times

Someone hasn’t had their morning coffee yet

I am looking forward to the Seton Hall game, that’s why I’m going. See you there!

Boneyarders can skim your posts and reach their own conclusions.

They’ve already reached conclusion on you that you’re not to be taken seriously, like a drunk uncle conspiracy theorist on thanksgiving.

OK - this has gotten ridiculous. You two - put each other on ignore or get a room. I don't care which, but stop any further back and forth in the threads.

Locking this and starting a new January thread.
