Big East Teams as characters from the Star Wars saga. Let me know what you think.


Syracuse Orange - Darth Maul
Oh man! Look at how cool he looks! He has a double lightsaber?! Awesome! Despite his flashy traits, and looking cool, Darth Maul only manages to get cut in half at the end of the movie. Syracuse looks like a good team year after year, but they rarely produce come tournament time. Like Darth Maul doesn't get to a second movie, Syracuse doesn't make it to the second round.

Marquette Golden Eagles - Luke Skywalker
I personally have a hard time rooting against them. They have good kids, a good coach, and good fans. They're almost like Luke Skywalker on the onset of his journey: A little naive and inexperienced in the ways of the force, with the potential to one day become a Jedi Master.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish - R2-D2
R2-D2 always found a way to save the day, but ultimately never got the recognition he deserved. Notre Dame's basketball program has become a force to be reckoned with in recent years, however it always seems to live in the shadow of its football program as its accomplishments will continue to go unnoticed.

Cincinnati Bearcats - Qui-Gon Jinn
The Cincinnati Bearcats are a celebration of mediocrity. Always in the middle of the pack, the Bearcats never seem to do much. Much like Qui-Gon, they are one-dimensional and lack character.

Georgetown Hoyas - Obi-Wan Kenobi
A living relic of a different age. Obi-Wan like Georgetown was once the big kid on the block. After years of dominance and winning, his promising apprentice would rise to power, cut him down, and surpass him in achievements. It seems Georgetown has been in hiding as an old hermit in the outskirts of the desert world Tatooine, remembering the days of old.

USF Bulls - Spock
Never really belonged on this list.

Louisville Cardinals - Grand Moff Tarkin
Overconfident and a little arrogant but still commands respect. Louisville has a talented coach, talented players, and a dedicated fan-base but always demands more respect than they deserve.

West Virginia Mountaineers - Chewbacca
Hair, and lots of it. Like Chewbacca, the Mountaineers will make the occasional noise, but it is often unintelligible and difficult to understand.

Connecticut Huskies - Darth Vader
Started out as the promising hero and ultimately became the villain. Darth Vader rules the galaxy with an iron fist, much like Connecticut rules the Big East as it's most dominant program. While many would call Connecticut the villain, last year's team showed how under that hard shell of an armor lies a good man waiting to return to the light side of the force.

Seton Hall Pirates - Uncle Own/Aunt Beru
Regardless of how things go, are always reduced to burning ashes by the end of the season/movie.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights - C-3P0
Rutgers like C-3P0 is equal parts lame and soft. You think after paling around with the heroes long enough he'd grow a backbone, but alas this is just wishful thinking.

St. Johns Red Storm - Count Dooku
He's old, yet skilled. He will also always be overshadowed by bidder and badder villains (see: Darth Vader and Darth Maul). In a popularity contest between Big East schools in NY, Syracuse (Darth Maul) will win every time.

Good job!

Thought the UConn-Vader apology was spot on

It never posted the last 4 so here they are:

Pittsburge Panthers - Boba Fett
The coolest looking guy on the block with his shiny helmet and, wait for it, jet-pack. But besides looking like a bad@$$, what did Boba Fett ever accomplish besides getting himself thrown in the damn sarlac pit? Exactly. Pitt always has a stacked, tough team but never produces post season when it counts.

Villanova Wildcats - Yoda
He is pretty damn old, but wise in the ways of the force. Despite this, he is not the type to get his hands dirty because of his old age. Villanova has a respected history, but without recent success they are destined to fade away into the force.

Providence Friars - Wicket (ewok)
This seemingly cute and innocent critter should be a complete pushover, yet somehow manages an upset victory over the damn Empire. Armed with bows and arrows and STICKS, they somehow topple the Empire, much like how Providence will pull a yearly upset against an elite opponent *cough* UConn *cough*.

DePaul Blue Demons - Jar Jar Binks
Was , is , will always be . No redeeming qualities.

Syracuse is Greedo, the sleazy, ugly, two-timing slug Hans Solo torches in the bar.

Dart Vader huh,, you guys definitely have the heavy breathing down to a "T"..

But once the mask was ripped off, the result is a shriveled-up bully begging for life.. He was a mere mortal after his artificial life-support systems were damaged.. remember he died by being shocked...

We are definitely more Han Solo, but further, I find it disappointing that Darth Vader lost to C3PO, Uncle Owen and R2D2.

UConn is the force.

The force is what gives the Huskies their power. It's an energy field created by all living things, it surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together.

90% of the time these posts fail horribly. This one was awesome. Good work.
