Possible new name for the Big East...

[CAHUSKY]

Exactly. If this was rebranding then professionals would be my choice. This is name tweaking 101. And of course cahusky has failed to demonstrate that his opinion doesn't come from one of the mutton heads he claims exists on this board. Of course just kidding cahusky. Your opinions are usually very grounded. So give us a name because the agency paid probably doesn't have any better light bulbs than a few of us here including yourself.

By definition, if you change the name it becomes a re-branding exercise. Having executed a number of them over the years I feel relatively qualified to pontificate to you unwashed mutton heads. I guess its moot as it sounds like the BE decided there was too much brand equity to walk away from the current name.

Congrats on your achievements. Hug yourself accordingly.

I ditto BIG-WEST CONFERENCE. Simple tweak without losing any single word from the original. Red Necks & Storrs Conference is tempting, though.

The Kemba Conference

Those teams agreed to join the "Big East". They knew what they were getting into. Just because they're new to the conference, doesn't mean they need special treatment.

As an unabashed, unwashed mutton head and proud of it, I recognized an ulterior motive in your dismissal of my original advocacy and you have confirmed it. But as you said this is all a mootin head point anyways.

1. I was joking
2. What is my ulterior motive?

You lose the word East...

 

[AtlHusky]

How about the NEWS Conference as in North-East-West-South. Then all we would need is an exclusive contract with FOX. The NCAA would have to leave us alone if we are Fair & Balanced, right?

Joking as well - job security.

Since im relatively confident the BE wasn't considering hiring me for the job it wouldn't effect my job security. I do sales/marketing for a resort destination, not an agency.

Big East-West Conference is what it is indeed. Thanks mets1090.

Has "hot, steaming mess" been taken?
