Catholic schools leaving this year, taking Big East name

[TRest]

I was tied up with clients for the PC game at Bar Louie. Huge uconn fans. Hoping we can return the favor on Saturday. Cocktails are something all fans can agree on.

Did you tell your clients they are douches for being UConn fans?

The "new" Big East, aka The Catholic 7 + Butler, Xavier. Why does this remind me of those old singing groups that have none of the main members, but 1 or 2 of the insignificant members.

I don't know, why?

We've been talking about PC like that since Ernie D left........wow it's genius day at the Boneyard!! Always entertaining to have other fans come to see what it's like to talk about WINNING!!

What are you talking about, mauconnfan???? Every day is genius day at the Boneryard!!!!!!!!

UCONN backed off Dunn bc Cooley had him locked up. FACT Are you really selling that Uconn didnt want a mcDs AA?
UCONN backed off Ledo bc is was widely known that IF Ledo went to college it was PC FACT
The majority of this board(and JC) laughed at the thought of AL's going to PC. The laughing stopped when Ed called JC from AL's house and told him what was what. FACT
I notice you didn't address Austin...cat got your tongue?

Seanzo, it's been said many times before that the following:
1) Dunn---UConn took Omar Calhoun early in June '11 as their last available scolie. Dunn committed to PC in mid August . UConn had no scolie available. Shortly after Dunn committed to PC, Drummond committed to UConn. Drummond eventually paid his own tuition. UConn had to move mountains (well documented) to get Drummond in w/o expending a scolie they didn't have at that time. For Dunn, UConn would not have moved mountains.
2) Ledo---UConn was not involved with him since the spring of '11. I assume grades were the issue. Ledo did commit to PC. Then, he decommitted. Finally, when he was to announce for PC, he mysteriously delayed his announcement.(perhaps awaiting a better offer?) He still doesn't play for PC. According to a report a few months ago, he may never play for you guys.
3) LaFleur---He had no place to go at UConn. Most UConn fans wanted Andre & Patrick Sellers out as they recruited some guys who shouldn't have been here, when JC missed 2 summers of recruiting.(chemo, one summer; 8 broken ribs the 2nd summer) This is one of the reasons for UConn's APR problem. Most UConn fans were happy to see these two leave. (check Boneyard posts of 2-3 years ago if you don't believe me.) If he's working out for you guys that's fine, but he couldn't go much further here.
4) As far as your latest recruiting "victory" over UConn, well, UConn was heavily involved with Xavier Raytheon Mays. When he chose FSU over UConn, UConn got involved late with this young man (yeah, I know, his name escapes me) With Ollie on a 7 month contract, and UConn's late involvement, the kid chose PC. I doubt we lose too many more recruits to PC.

Your ability to cut and paste is truly remarkable. Congrats.

Do you guys know when the last Big East Tournament is?

I was hoping to get some tickets to go watch UCONN play in the last ever BET.

Congrats to be the worst program in the history of the BCS to make an appearance. Color me impressed.

Let's cool the credit cowboy. You were what, an 8-4 team who won one of the worst BCS auto-bids in the history of the Big East and BCS?

You then proceeded to show how mediocre the conference was when you went to the Fiesta and got embarrassed, not just by lousy fan support but getting cranked on the field.

But you made a game you didn't belong in, congrats!

Hell, UConn's football program, over the last 10 years has done much better than PC's basketball team. Plus, you don't have any facts on UConn's attendance at that Fiesta bowl game. UConn sold 4,000 way overpriced tickets to that game. 14,000 very smart UConn fans purchased tickets on their own for 75% less. BTW, Oklahoma returned 7,000 tickets themselves. Shortly after, the Fiesta bowl is being investigated for corrupt business practices.
I also notice you had no comment about UConn clobbering South Carolina the previous year in SEC territory. Let alone a victory at Notre Dame on NBC.
As I said above, UConn's football has far exceed what PC has done in hoops since UConn moved up to D-1. How's that---Cowboy!!!

Yonick, you are as wrong as sleeping with your step sister. I am sure all you Storrs sissies enjoy his posts, and enjoy your step sisters as much, but let me take the microphone for a bit:

You can honestly say that recruits would rather play in the bucket of piss called the Gampel Pavillion than help hang up the inevitable banners at Ed Cooley's Ball So Hard University? I bet the feathers on my boa that PC has a higher ranked recruiting class than U-Con for the remainder of Cooley's tenure. While you are running down to SMU to discuss family dating habits, the Cooley World Order will be running wild over MSG and the rest of college basketball. cWo 4-Life!

Gads, you guys live in a strange dreamworld!!! Win a NC, and maybe you can come over here and talk.

Not all uconn fans are douches...just like all friar fans aren't douches.

Not all uconn fans are douches...just like all friar fans aren't douches.

Your buddies from your board posting above are trying desperately to prove you wrong.

Ill say this- at least the cwo stuff is creative.

I think this pissing match has run its course, so I'm locking it.

EDIT - Sean whined about me taking shots without being able to reply. Which is probably fair. So I removed it.
