More trouble in ACC paradise?

[freescooter]

If the Illinois or Minnesota game was on FOX at noon or 3:30, I'd watch it. But they're not.. Michigan or Ohio State are on FOX in those windows. I'm not watching Ohio State because I care about them. I'm watching them because that all that's available. Same for the SEC. I couldn't care less about Alabama or LSU.. but I don't have a choice. I just want to watch football.. so I watch what's available to me when UConn isn't on.

That’s my point. The networks put the brands on the better/more available outlets. Until last year you probably couldn’t find Indiana on any “prime” sites. Now you do. Michigan still gets them because they are Michigan even when they aren’t that good. Same with Alabama and FSU and Clemson. But if any of those teams have a long stretch of poor performances, they will be replaced with one who is good for a stretch.

It isn’t just football. The same thing happens in basketball. UConn probably has many more network games on FOX or NBC or whatever than say Providence or Xavier. Why? They might make it when they play UConn. UConn is a national champion many times over and a major brand.

NC State at bcu, morgue quiet, stands mostly inanimate empty maroon seats.

With just a little bit of tweaking, that has the makings of being a fine haiku.

whatever wild CR musings we can come up with, I don't even give bcu a thought anymore. they were dead to me 20 years ago and are exiled from the ncaa tournament. I'm interested in some old Big East mates but if the Boston Market is needed, give Northeastern a shot.

this is pathetic

"Earl Grant is 27-55 in ACC play since being hired ahead of the 2021-22 season".

That alone shows how little BC cares about basketball.

Thanks for reminding us BC does have a division 1 basketball team. It is easy to forget.

Yikes! That’s pretty sad. I remember when that place rocked.

Yes, it rocked when filled with UConn fans.

Some good games with the Curley era, but we always won.

They had a string of really good coaches beginning in the mid-1960s with Cousy, Chuck Daley, Tom Davis, Gary Williams and Jim O’ Brien. Even Skinner was solid. It has been a complete mess since Skinner was pushed out.

Seems like it used to be a decent stepping-stone job. Now it's just a lump of coal. I'm sure those southeastern programs enjoy flying to mass to play in that junior high school atmosphere

NFW, bcu had close to the purported 1,892 living humans in attendance.

They did. Just most were disguised as maroon seats.

I'm actually very impressed he's gotten to 27 ACC wins. That is significantly more than I figured he would get to.

Certainly more than he should have been allowed to get.

But the burglars from Chestnut Hill still took $45mm from the ACC last year...

BC's ACC records since joining the conference:

football 52-86
men's basketball 118-248
women's basketball 97-238
baseball 197-382

The more recent records for football and men's basketball are even worse if you exclude the first few years in the conference as Tom O'Brien and Jeff Jags were 21-11 and Al Skinner was 40-40 in conference play.

Barstads!

One of my absolute favorite stats in a sport that I care nothing about except for this….

Over the past 15 years, BC Men’s Tennis is 3-220 in ACC matches.

maybe if they scratched together an all-Mass conference a couple of programs might get some Ws.

Missed dunks and air balls in the pre game shoot around? Is it any wonder the place is empty?

That'll be a good chunk of their exit fee.

Well that would be one way for the SEC to get back to the title game...
