The competition:
BC - ZERO wins in the conference for FB and BB in 2015-16. Has that ever been done before? Complete futility. And no one outside their zip code roots for them.
Rutgers - Simply a cluster. 'Nuf said.
Syracuse - Solid (but not elite) basketball tradition, allegedly playing FBS football, and no one west of Erie, Pennsylvania knows knows about them or cares about them. Lacrosse is strong.
Temple - The stench of failure is starting to dissipate, but it still hangs heavy in the air. Overrated BB tradition.
Penn State - 1995: most respected, 2016: most reviled.
Pitt - There's not much spectacular or disastrous about the Panthers. I can't think of many championships. They define mediocrity.
WVU - Best known for: 1) burning couches, 2) decent football
Yes, our FB had some dark years but that's improving. And the rest of the athletic program is doing very well: 1) elite BB, 2) solid baseball, 3) solid soccer, and 4) solid ice hockey. Even the freakin' field hockey team wins NC's. We just keep going about our business. But we're the ones on the outside looking in. On an even playing field, we'd wreck them all.
