Big East's Next Media Deal

FriarJ said:
Ok, you’re upset. I’m sorry for your loss. Are you disputing the conference got along fine without you heathens? I know you are the basketball capital of the entire world and all but… that court will be the gift that gives and gives an gives. Great work!

Best part is you skipped past College Basketball Capital and went right to the Basketball Capital of the entire world. It’s cringe as heck, but hilarious in its myopic arrogance at the same time.

I agree! Frankly Providence has a good chance to be the basketball capital of the world as anyone, well as much as anyone who really hasn't won anything meaningful since Ernie DiGregorio left town.

I believe he was trying to make a joke.

It's very easy to miss when A-Dub attempts it as he isn't very good at it.

Its a Will Ferrell quote from blades of glory

"Mind-bottling, you know when everything is so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle"

Without question the most enjoyable back to back games ever played at the Rent. Anyone who was there realizes without question that we can support a major college football program.

In '07 we had the consecutive home wins against Louisville (the Larry Taylor fair catch game), USF (the Scott Lutrus/Greg Robinson game) and our first ever win against a ranked team) and then Rutgers (Saturday night game with the Rent the most full it ever was -- we had plenty of sell outs on paper but that is the only time there literally were no empty seats in the stadium). That was pretty great too.

I think most know what it pertains to, but you know what? UConn has 16 banners, the Lakers and Celtics 17.

And if you consider the modern era, guess who has more ?

Not so cringe now is it?

Are you really counting WBB? How about AAU champions? Got any of those out in the sticks?

Given that you're a sock puppet account of August isn't that kind of self-serving?

Well duh, that's the whole point of calling it the basketball capital, isn't it?

It doesn't say the best team. Your complaint was the use of the term Basketball Capital, and then implying it was Boston or LA. Now you are attempting to shift the goalposts.

You didn't expect to get owned with that did you

We did not finish second behind WVU. Where in the world did that come from? We finished as co-champions, in a 3-way tie with WVU and Pitt, and got the Fiesta Bowl bid because we beat both WVU and Pitt head to head.

Absolutely, you are correct. I was just looking up standings and saw overall record and I didn't stop to think about what actually happened. I'll serve the appropriate punishment. And let that be a forewarning to WVU fans!!

This has nothing to do with me. You folks did this all on your own. This reeks of your whole civil war BS. You won’t ever learn.

I really am disgusted that I can interpret his language but I'm pretty sure he's talking about Bobby Red Pants' made up trophy for UConn v UCF football.

How's that "we beat UConn in an exhibition in Mohegan" banner treating you?

Evidently you really are in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. That would explain why you are so bored at the moment.

Well, we do attract the fans of lesser programs to this website just for the opportunity to interact with us. It is what it is. I mean it's a burden to give a modicum of attention to the fans of lesser lights, but it's one we bear for the good of the game.
 
This arrogance is exactly what Cooley was coaching us on. Hopefully that big fraud is still giving us lessons in fandom at Georgetown. That’s what Hoyas do…..

The Rutgers win promoted one of my favorite Daily Campus headlines ever - "Jersey Blowout"

Take your problem up with Jay Bilas, he is the one who coined it.

Despite my walking you through why it is true, your frustration in being a Pee cee fan is too much to bear. We get it.

Jay Bilas? This gets better and better.

Both things are true - we are unarguably the top hoops program of the 21st century when you include women and men; AND it is better when other people say it, not us.

Um, each program is unarguably the top hoops program of the 21st century on their own, you don't have to combine them

based on the small crowds I was seeing at the end of the Ollie era, there were a lot of basketball "hobbyists" who weren't making it to games. Lets see what happens with football in the next couple of years.

The problem with a losing program with no direction is that people with limited financial resources and limited free time are not going to invest in something that makes them miserable. Ollie did that. Hurley's willingness to run through a brick wall for a victory invigorates me even when his overzelousness can hurt us. I can deal with losing but not apathy from the coach.
