UConn's Big East Rival

[metsfan2323]

Georgetown is taking SMU to the woodshed at SMU. Apparently Ewing can coach.

If Ewing can bring Hoya Paranoia back....

I notice your list is alphabetical, except for Pee Cee at the bottom.

Any particular reason?

(And, yes, I know the alphabet—but “Saint” John’s precedes Seton Hall, even though “St.” John’s does not.)

I love the list, nonetheless: universities and fan-bases that support basketball first.

(This is coming from someone who grew up playing both football and basketball, and, also, happened to attend Clemson for graduate school. My blood is national flag blue, and the Huskies’ national championships matter more than the Tigers’, as far as I’m concerned, although as a football fan and Clemson alum, the past several years have been pretty fun.)

Who do you believe that will be UConn's new Big East Conference rivals in basketball ? I'm guessing Xavier and Villanova

Butler,
Creighton,
DePaul,
Georgetown,
Marquette,
St. John's,
Seton Hall,
Villanova,
Xavier
Providence College.

I say we start with Pee Cee as our primary rival.

When were Rutgers, WEst Virginia or BC actually rivals? Oh wait

Rutgers and West Virginia not so much, but I know for a fact that the school Coach Calhoun hates the most is Boston College. That, in my eyes, gives them a pretty good case for being a rival to us.

As they play on actual networks and get paid actual money while the ZBE plays on the fishing and hunting network for peanuts.

Good. I nominate you, then, to devise a plan to have the ACC or Big Ten change their minds on being done with expansion and invite us so you’ll finally stop whining about the Big East.

I hope everybody hates us. Like Duke, Kentucky, Patriots......…..

It’s better to be hated than ignored.
