OT: Big East Basketball Not Scoring For Fox/Fox Sports 1

[NCHusky91]

Please. Stop.

As to the original subject of this thread, I must reluctantly agree that the Big East of 2015 is less useful to Uconn than the AAC, if only to keep the hope of P5 alive. However, my sincere hope is that the whole conference network-related phenomenon turns out to be a huge bubble and all of the major participants lose upwards of 9-10 figures.

The nickname is Mumbles. A name I've never used. Before you get too sanctimonious; what do you guys refer to Calipari and K as?

Not sanctimonious at all. Just pointing out, don't get so bent out of shape over Ed Cooley needing a hat if you weren't as critical of your own guys for calling Calhoun mumbles. Who gives a sheet.

 

[Jerry1714]

Tell ya what short stack; why don't you post a link to the thread, if it's as vicious as you guys say, I'll leave. Remember, yon-zo said we had a thread dedicated to ripping Ollie for his divorce. I'll wait...

Look out guys Sean is here

No, you may never have called Calhoun mumbles. But, you have referred to Boneyard posters as "stupid" "s" "knowing little about hoops outside of Storrs". Plus, your colleague from PC, on this board called us "bitches" after PC won the BE tourney.
That's a lotta' name calling. If a UConn poster used those terms about PC fans on a PC board they would be long gone.
And yet you guys remain here.

No one who goes on an opponent message board to argue with other fans gets to imply that someone else is mentally ill. You and your ilk are bizarre freaks who bring nothing but sadness to the world.

In other Big East news, Seton Hall is falling apart at the seams: http://nypost.com/2015/02/11/disintegrating-seton-hall-loses-key-guard-to-transfer/

Glad I crack you up FriarJ. On that night you called us "bitches" my guess is you had "one too many" in celebration of a victory in the new, and weakened Big East.
My guess is ole' Ronny cut quite a few resources that you need too.

 

[Yonick]

Isn't that what Reagan said to Walter Mondale in that presidential debate years ago!!
BTW, being the "jokester" you are, I understand Jon Stewart is leaving comedy central. Perhaps you should apply......

The two of you should get a room!

To recap, we've got a PC troll here lecturing on the use of emoticons. Can't make that up.

Tell Coren to let some of us back on PC let's see how that goes?

Providence did a Blutarsky last week. Their TV rating was zero-point-zero. (scroll down, way down)

 

[Jerry1714]

I am adding to the rating by watching the Nova/PC game.

I can see why no one watches. PC on pace for 40 points.

I'm also helping their pitiful ratings but only because I bet money on Nova to cover.

Wait, you got on their board in the first place, I was denied when I applied years ago.

Well wait till you read this, from their board:

You may have 4 titles in the modern era, but you do not have as rich a basketball tradition as Providence College. Your accomplishments are all in the modern era. No small accomplishment, damn near dynastic, but your actual basketball tradition is shallow, regardless of what you've done for your fans in recent decades. Providence has an actual history and longer tradition where basketball is concerned, a history of innovative coaches, great players, winning big tournaments when the NCAA was not what it is today. Now, you can guffaw all you wish and say "not good enough" or "your're all about the past", but the simple fact here is your program has no real history at all in the development of the college game. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Until the BE and until Calhoun. Before that, you were a school in the woods of northeast Ct. And yet you come here to tell us what a joke program we've been throughout our much longer history and tradition in this game! Congrats on your titles. Maybe you'll win another some time. We've done very well over the years. We got nothing to be ashamed of, and no reason to regard UConn superior.

So far, your main point seems to be that UConn is God's gift to the college game and Providence is a laughing stock to the college game. Some of us know better where the history of basketball in this region is concerned.


UConn basketball started 1901, Providence 1921
UConn NCAA tournament appearances pre 1980: 1951, 1954, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1976, 1979
Providence NCAA tournament appearances pre 1980: 1964, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978

We've won 4 national titles since PC has won a single tournament game. They don't deserve an argument. We play a different game than they do. Let them crawl back into obscurity.

That is some serious cherry picking of data, particularly when you are grabbing a 2 pm game on a Thursday to make a point.
