You are right. We wish we were SJ, wish we had your team, your coach, your record and especially your football team.

I find it hysterical that you are not using SJ after your SJU lecture

As far as conferences go, both of our conferences are irrelevant. Except SJ & the BE are doomed to stay that way.

The crappy part of Queens? An apartment there probably goes for more than a family-sized house in Storrs. SJ is in a residential section of Queens with million-dollar houses right outside. It's more Long Island than it is Queens really. SJ is not in the middle of the Queensbridge projects. At least it's alive.

Fresh Meadows is nice and residential, but with horrid public transportation. Jamaica is not nice. It's the crappy part of Queens.

So SJU, any feedback on branding?

Hey Johnny,
Really appreciate your input here. Your positive outlook about queens really makes me consider moving from Manhattan right on over there.
Go back to your own board and stop trolling.
We get it. Your mad abkut SJU sucking and you think beating is for Briscoe will somehow undo the last 10 years of pain.
On the bright side I would like to thank your university for doing s great job hosting the sweet sixteen and elite eights games for us this year.
Now be a pal and run along back to obscurity and enjoy the fruitsof what remains of the big east.

guys, why are we wasting our time with Johnny? Let the guy be excited about Briscoe. I mean, we have won 4 championships since 1999. SJ(U) has been to the dance 4 times(1 vacated) and has a total of 1 victory. He admits that their coach really isn't good for anythign except recruiting.

So this is his big chance to get excited.

Now, just because as a 7 seed we plowed their conference champion last year(a so called top 10 team because they beat up on the midgets of the BigLeast), a defeat so freaking easy that we barely broke a sweat and were never seriously challenged despite the fact that the NCAA tournament MVP missed large swaths of the game with foul trouble and an ankle injury, is no reason to rain on this guys parade.

Throw him on ignore, move on with our lives and lets reclaim this thread and keep it squarely on Isaiah Briscoes recruitment information.

Thank you, PSA over.

You beat Nova congrats. I wouldn't say "plowed". I would reserve that to the smack down SJ gave you in 2011 at the Garden. You know that 89-72 win SJ barely broke a sweat for. And we also beat UConn again after that as all freshmen when you had your postseason ban but still had a good team. UConn is not unbeatable. UConn is a good not great regular season team and once it comes tourney time UConn rises to the occasion and gets boiling hot. You aren't that team going undefeated tearing through people that you think you are. You are good finishers. The Giants were a wildcard team in 07 good not great. Once in the playoffs went into turbo mode. That's UConn. And it's not in Jamaica it's technically Hillcrest, Queens. But people up there wouldn't know the difference on their farms. It's actually a beautiful campus with many new buildings. The streets surrounding it are very safe and the houses are nice for the most part.

I already sent the link for the SJU branding. I have a pin I got from the university that says "SJU Alumni".

But seriously I'd like to keep it to Briscoe too. I was really just checking in to see if there was any update.
 
Johnny said:
Right, because teams that have been to Final Fours, been ranked recently, and won Big East tourneys recently are in the same ballpark as Tulane and their ilk. We've already been through this. From top to bottom the Big East craps on the AAC. The bottom Big East teams would be mid-tier AAC teams and knock off some of the top teams. Remember that Seton Hall beat Villanova a top 10 team. St. John's beat #12 Creighton and a bunch of top 25 teams in the past 5 years. SHU was also ranked just a few years back and just got a 5 star PG. PC just won the title. So these are the schools you compare to Tulane and ECU?

Did you ever think you'd be defending fellow conference mates Tulane, ECU, Tulsa, Houston, SMU, UCF?

SMU? As in Top 25? SMU?

Look, it was nice to have the likes of the Johnnies an Seton Hall on the schedule because they were RI mid major type of games. And our guys got to go shopping in NYC too which is always neat

Second half of the Nova game, they got plowed.

So what are your honest thoughts on Lavin? Do you think he stays, or gets canned? Who do you want as a replacement if he is canned? Can you get that person as coach?

Are you seriously trying to knock us by claiming we aren't as good during the regular season as we are during the tournament?

They go shopping in 2011 and 2012? More like long bus ride home.

SMU is doing well because of one reason: Larry Brown. You know that guy who is almost 80? Once he's gone SMU is back to being a D-II basketball school.

I think if we get Briscoe he will get the benefit of the doubt for another year or two. If he can't get the team to the tourney after that then he's probably gone. As a replacement I know the general sense from fans is to get Hurley. If Lavin gets another good class and they still fall short of the tourney we will know it's Lavin who is the problem and he's gone.

similar to SJ's plight since Louie left?
 
I actually spoke with Briscoe at St. John's tip off. A lot of what you guys said you perceive about him seems to be true at least partially.
 
Everyone please stop feeding the troll.

First off, LOL at that last sentence.

Secondly, UConn has more than double the amount of Big East championships as St. John's.
 
Johnny said:
I disagree. I have seen numerous UConn fans talking about football like you guys are one of the big boys in that category. You talk about a bowl game you made once. Cool. That was 1 year and you've been FBS for what like 15 years? I said it before and I'll say it again. UConn looks much more evenly matched vs. Villanova and SUNY Buffalo in football than Ohio State or Florida State. Even so, many UConn fans seem to hold onto the dream that you will become Ohio State somehow. Like that guy who went into business thinking he'd be a millionaire someday but stayed at about 45k never moving up.

It's rough. Our football team is like St. John's in basketball. Simply not cutting it. Johnny, I appreciate the empathy.
 
BTW, will somebody correct this ignorant troll. I know we've been to the outback bowl like 3 times . Somebody from the football board enlighten the Neanderthal who likes Fox regarding Uconn's past bowl history. It's got to be at least on par with St. John's basketball over the last 15 years. I remember the good old days of Ron Artes..... Oops, I mean Meta World Peace.

Well, not every program can have a Jesus Shuttlesw.... Oops I mean Ray Allen.

Don't really think many people remember how the regular season went most people only care about what happens in March
 
Hey Johnny,

How are those MBB championships treating you? Oh right, Premo-Porretta and Helms don't count.

How are those alums in the NBA doing? I hear JaKarr Sampson is putting all of our guys to shame. Although to be fair, let's wait and see whether or not he can even make the roster of the worst team in the league by far.

You beat ranked teams in the regular season? We beat them in the tournament while you're off daydreaming about Lou Carnesecca's sweaters.

Storrs is the sticks? We breed championships and successful professional players. Good luck ever getting there.

P.S. Don't let the door hit you on the way out getting back to your "superior TV deal".

One weird thing about Briscoe is that he was spotted at Seton Hall shooting around but now we know that must have been since it's close to home. This happened before he cut down to three schools leaving out SHU.

Well, in 2011, UCONN was the toast of NYC. 5 in 5. An unparalleled run to BET champions.

Oh, and then they decided to win the whole...duckckin'...thing. 2011. A great year.

They are 4-22 against ranked teams in the last 3 years. That qualifies as "consistently beating ranked teams" for our buddy.

Delusional doesn't begin to describe this guy. He couldn't be further off from where he thinks SJU is compared to where they are as a program and vice versa from a UCONN stand point is like when he was a 14 year old looking for his girlfriends g spot for the first time.

But I digress. I know, I know don't feed the trolls. But its kind of fun to mess with them when they are this delusional. There isn't one iota of a fact he could say that would get me riled up and actually make me think that SJU is ANYwhere in the same stratosphere as UCONN in Men's Bball.
 
Ah, conveniently left out our 2011 campaign where we slaughtered a bunch of top 10 teams. I believe it was 4 top ten teams you left out. No biggie.

If you guys are ready to talk Briscoe, maybe you can join me.
 
There's an episode of Seinfeld, when George Costanza goes on a rant to his boss, quits, then realized what he's done and tries to just show up at the staff meeting the next day as if nothing had ever happened. The boss gets a few items into the meeting and then stops in disbelief and turns to a co-worker and says, "is that Costanza over there?"

I bring this up because my thought when I saw the way this thread turned is almost the same incredulous/bemused reaction:

"is that a St. John's fan talking over there?"

Think about what you're doing with your Saturday night - trolling an Internet message board.

When I read the preseason magazines, I do read the entire Big East section. It makes me sad.

O ... I think Creighton & Xavier & Butler are fine additions; but, we are talking a HUGE drop from our heights of a few years ago. The basketball is neither as intense or competitive. (That's why PC won at MSG instead of lost in one of the earlies) Villanova ? I watched them earlier in 2014 & thought we easily could outplay them. It's a different defensive mode. That league has dialed down. In fact, the A-10 - to my eyes - has caught them at the light & are threatening to zoom past.

But you didn't keep it to Briscoe you opened the floodgates of which you can't repair and why? Because you are the Johnnies and we are UConn. We win NC's and you don't. Even with Chris Mullins teams you couldn't and now with Lavin, you won't. And please don't disregard UConn at MSG like a jealous little school girl, Jarvis changed the venue completely because of the outrage of UConn fans coming in busloads and convoys of cars on weekend games for years. He wasn't going to allow it and I promise, even with your solid Artest teams, UConn fans were more abundant in your home theatre than your own fans during those games. Maybe even, but even that is embarrassment. Almost as much of one as a Johnnies fan coming to pick a fight with UConn fans about mens college basketball.

If you want to talk about Briscoe come here in peace and do just that. Otherwise go away you have no leg to stand on little boy!

ok… Here goes...

If Briscoe is interested in competing for NC's, he'll pick UCONN.

If he's interested in a college basketball career deeply rooted in obscurity, then St. Johns would be a perfect choice.
