He almost sounds like he’s satirizing the AAC fanboys found in various corners of the internet.

Taking their already stupid arguments to the stupidest extreme.

But, that’s probably giving him too much credit. He’s just wrong wrong wrong.

Unfortunately for him our P6 (lol) days are over in football. I will miss you Tulsa, ECU, Tulane and USF!

I was honestly trying to think of other schools to come up with a clever response to this and I thought of SMU; I had totally forgotten SMU is in the AAC - and they’re one of the good schools!

I’m so ready to be done with this stupid conference.

Cincy is the only school im a bit sad about losing. It’s more of a half sad than a real sad though.

I never bought into the Cincy as our rival narrative the boneyard was always pushing. The AAC sucked so hard people tried to convince themselves Cincy is our rival. It's a conference USA team we played a bunch.

Yeah they were never UConn’s rival. We did have a 15 or so year run with them so there is some history and I wouldn’t mind if they ended up on the schedule.

This is ridiculous. The AAC should be mandating that their teams should have a minimum strength of schedule rating and fine them if it's not up to par. They should redistribute the money to the rest of the schools that comply.

In addition, if these games ever get broadcast, no one will watch it. It ends up being a loss for ESPN+ and for both schools involved.

i think you might be starting to get it! a couple nationally televised ooc games makes all the difference in the world. gtown is also gonna make the tourney this year whereas ecu dreams of the NIT.



seton hall has an awesome OOC schedule this year:

st. louis
oregon

rutgers
maryland

yet true. we were an afterthought in that conference, never did much of note during the regular seasons and conference tournaments. Hopefully that does not happen in the CBE.

Win/Loss record has nothing to do with whether or not we were an afterthought and it has nothing to do with whether or not moving to the Big East is a good decision
 
The OOC is horrific yes, but I think you would have a hard time arguing we aren't trending in the right direction moving forward with Jayden Gardner for 3 more years, a staff of Dooley, Chillious, and Roccaforte, and an unprecedented 11 new player recruiting class.

Dooley had options, turned down Rhode Island after we paid him 200k more, Roccaforte left a top 25 Virginia Tech as their top assistant to be our 3rd assistant last summer. That's a really good staff and it seems to have paid off getting guys like Charles Coleman right in your back yard this spring who you guys, Duke and tons of other big schools wanted.

I don't think we are going to be a drag on the conference anymore and I expect we should be favored perhaps all of those games (#53 Liberty at home is the toss up I think), and possibly should win nearly all of them which will mitigate some of it's honorificness.

I’m gonna have to ask you to elaborate. You realize we have played in three conference tournament finals, right? Tied for the most of any school (Cincinnati)?
 
I can understand struggling in the AAC for football.

What’s the excuse for hoops?

Hope we go 7-25 this year.

Hey @August_West @Mano, looks like we found a golden tankard.

It’s like when you get invited to a wedding and the only person you know besides the bride and groom is somebody you hung out with a couple of times in college and, even though you didn’t like each other that much, the two of you bond over making fun of all the weirdos at the wedding. Cincinnati hasn’t been as much a rival as it has been the only other program in circumstances like ours. But now we’re going back to the hotel with a bridesmaid. See ya Cincy!

Chillious is great. I hope your lawyers are better.

A reasonable person could argue that needing to bring in 11 new players at once is decidedly NOT a sign that things are moving in the right direction.
