Did you miss the depths of the AAC days?

that was never a rivalry, it was a forced interaction similar to Marquette.

Which was basically my point

No the Big East has proven to be much easier.

No the Big East has proven to be much easier.

... and has motivated our fan base, increased donations, increased attendance, etc

Providence has as good a shot at being Marquettes rival than anyone.

I don't miss those days of playing the AAC's best team in front of a half-full Gampel Pavilion.

Are we still having a "should have stayed in the AAC" discussion? Is that a thing?

On the football board it is.

They are still VERY upset about this.

This is how I would classify them:

Out of conference rivalries: Duke, Kentucky, UCLA - classic in-season & Tourney games over the years that meant something at a national level.

In conference rivalries: Villanova, Georgetown, St. Johns, PC, Syracuse (not technically, but we had classics w/them over the years).

"New" rivalries: Creighton, Marquette, Xavier

This is a cool link. It shows our record against every opponent we have ever played, listed by games played. So, scratch UCLA from my list. For some reason, I thought we played them more over the years. Maybe I was thinking of UNC.
