Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 2668433, member: 8636"] Come on guys! The AAC is a good conference! No it's not! Yes it is! No it's not! Do the math! Pick a season in the Big East and count the big conference games that UConn played. Then compare it to a season in the AAC. If you count USF, there are two "competitive" conference games for UConn. Do the frickin' math! The AAC is a joke! Frankly it's not fair that UConn has to point toward the Final Four every year. Every other team in the country gets the challenge and satisfaction of winning their conference regular season and then conference tournament. The OOC games UConn plays are great but we're talking apples and oranges. First of all, those games in November are meaningless. Teams are learning about themselves. It reminds me of Gonzaga on the mens side. From New Years to March, worthless league games! Watch the 30 for 30, "Requiem for the Big East" if you need to be reminded of what a great conference means! Look at Duke's schedule and count how many big conference games they played. Not even counting UVA, do you think NC St or Wake at home against Duke or UNC are big games? It's a cross between war and religion. UConn gets Temple and Cincinnati! Barf. Now the solution to the problem is another story. We know football determines everything. But at least admit that there is a problem! Even a subtle difference like playing Villanova versus playing Temple in Philadelphia. One is a traditional rival, the other is not. [/QUOTE]
