Proof that Aresco Reads the Boneyard

[Hoophound]

Except the only school in the league that is in the country is the one in Storrs. Memphis, Tunlane and Cinci were all in the old Metro Conference (as was Louisville...giving more credence to the ACC's screw up). I like Metro Atlantic better than Atlantic Metro, but there is the alphabetic consideration.

That has nothing to do with it. The south is all "country". In the south, city people like country too. Orlando, Houston, Tampa, Carolina, Louisiana etc. are all "country".

If you like Metro Atlantic, you're in luck, because there already is one, and they have a school right here in CT called Fairfield University.

Ahh crap.

Well the big country fest in Foxborough MA is the concert that sells out Gillette the fastest every year. Country music has essentially replaced rock and roll, which has vanished from the radio except in oldies form. That's true even in the north.

No worries, UConn won't be in this mess for too long. Knock on wood!

All Metro Eastern Reject Institutions Conference of America

I hope this is Jay's last post

 

[JayRU09]

I thought the redundant use of America in an acronym that spells AMERICA would be good humor for you guys as it would be a total Big East move to do something like that

You'll be in the ACC soon enough. I'm a pretty strong believer of both the 'Aresco was brought on to oversee the death of the conference' and 'the ACC will be poached again soon' theories.

I could get behind the America America Conference. If one America is awesome, then two would be double awesome.

What about American Athletic Association? AAA, first on any list, and get the Automobile organization to sponsor!

The ppl who live in Fairfield County consider the rest of the state except NewHaven and Hartford "country" probably rightfully so.

Someone brought up the Alliance before.

I guess you can have, the American Alliance, and call the teams the Allies.

 

[MattMang23]

It's obvious, seeing as who our conference membership consists of and the fact that we don't want a number in the conference name, the conference will end up being named...

Conference America.

Lets hope you're way off because this is what I thought of when I read "or BM":

http://bowel-movement-bm.com/

Well given all the movement we've already seen in the conference....

...that was kind of where I was going.

 

[SubbaBub]

I was joking. The East Coast Conference or the Big Atlantic Conference are the two I like best.

I still think we ought to sell the name to a sponsor.

McMurphy seems to be reading this board also, Take the Money and Run.

The FedEx All American Conference.

It doesn't sound bad, FedEx would probably be willing to do it what with Memphis being a member now, and it lends itself to a great fan chant: "FAAC YOU!"

Charge 'em $12-24 million to completely deck out all of your gear and fields/courts. A cool $1-2 million extra per school that separates the new conference from the rest.

The VC or The Viagra Conference. You will get a rise out of this conference!

Well if Aresco is negotiating the deal he'll get a million.. for the entire conference and then brag about the exposure.

He'll end paying Vizio to put their name on our "conference".

Yep, I really like East Coast Conference too. Sensible and conservative name compared to the one's that are being suggested.
